simple but efficient, a bit tight difficulty wise but not to the point its a massive detriment, once you get the movement momentum it helps a bit. not much more to say, gj !

Interesting concept. I did not quite understand how the melting mechanic works, though.

BattleGolf - The Card GameI did not understand how hitting "s" influenced the melting. Does the blue block melt faster if I hit "s" more often? So is it better to let the red block get as big as possible before hitting "s" to make it smaller again? Or is it better to keep it as small as possible? i did not really feel much of a difference (except that the red block died if I did not hit "s" at all).
Tough game. Does the time I choose to cool down my friend really matter. I tried to delay it as much as possible and I tried to do it sooner. The difference did not seem much.
The melting mechanic really forces on to push through as fast as possible. I guess that means you can't add "puzzles". Unless you add things like a "cold area" where the player can pause.

BringMeTheWaterDepends. I don't know what you planned on how to extend the game. So I'd have imagined things like cold areas where a player can rest and hot areas where player had to go through especially fast.
Since the "mass" of the player changes you could have button that only activate when the player is "thick" enough. Sounds like puzzles to me :D
Music was nice and the melting mechanic is also interesting although I didn't manage to beat it.

Valley Of DespairThe melting mechanic is very interesting. You definitely got something here. Keep going!

Arcane AmnesiaVery challenging gameplay. With a lot of jumping and timing you can make it through the levels. With some improvements this can be a great platformer game :)
