Hey this was a really cool game! Sometimes though the live count seemed to be off! Please see my video review below:

Gameplay: The movement was pretty good. Sometimes when you die it takes two lives, so once I was at -1 lives. I think the gems were a good idea it helps with the replayability.

Graphics: The graphics were good. The art all fit with the game.

Audio: The music and SFX were good.

Innovation: Its a platformer with some puzzle elements. 

Theme: After landing you spotted a huge gate with letters S, M and S on it.

I really enjoyed this one! Sounds and graphics are perfect and the gameplay is deceptively deep. I hit a few bugs here and there, but nothing major.

Developer

Thank you very much! Do you remember maybe what those bugs were? I am planning to extend this game after Jams voting, so bug fixing is definitely what I want to do πŸ˜‰

Two that I recall:

  • In one area, I died and was restarted continually on a spike trap until the game ended.
  • Sometimes, when on the edge of a moveable block, the player sprite would move left and right rapidly.

Enjoyed this quite a bit, the puzzle-platforming combo really shines here. Great job with the art too!

Developer

Thank you very much for your review! ;)

Fun game, loved how you could freeze the water with your ice gun and even push the ice blocks that you make! Music was pretty good too, good job!

Developer

Thank you so much for your review!

Very beautiful game! Amazing old-school Spectrum like pixel art, nice music, smooth movement and easy to grasp mechanics.

Just to mention that it would be nice to have a way to see the remaining health of the player, to be aware if you are about to die and restart the level.

Well done!

Developer(+1)

Oh no, there should be a number of remaining lives as well as other indicators! There is no GUI displayed, I see πŸ˜” I will fix it as sson as possible! Thank you so much for your review!

Don’t worry, the game is great and still very enjoyable!

Fun classic platformer, love the music and the vignette effect. I feel the jump is a little too floaty -although that might just be the effect you're going for- and it would've been cool to have some indication of secret walls/passages other than just passing by them. Overall cool concept!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! πŸ˜‰ Yes, floaty jump was intended, because the character is in the moon, so gravity must have been lower 😁 and regarding the secrets - every single one has a distinguished tile, so if you psy attention to this, you will easily find all of them πŸ˜‰ for Web Monetized users there is also a special tool - Gem Detector, which points you on the nearest gems, even those hidden πŸ˜‰
