Hey nice little game! I had a lot of trouble figuring how to move the character, maybe it needs to be a tad less slippery :) I the first fountain in the first level is really weel hidden, there needs to be some indication that something is up :) I thought the platform was there just for the bouncing on. Music is really cool also :)

Submitted

the game has this crazy fast gameplay that makes it really exiting to surf through the level. it's simple and efficient but mechanic of wall bounce can be a little difficult to manage sometimes, especially to read signs :) Otherwise great game that can easily be expended upon ! Nice job !

"Sonic has left the chat."

Jokes aside, I like how wall jumps feel and the general idea of being a melting ice which needs to cool down.

I honestly really like the craziness of the controls, it feels like ur constantly wrestling with them. The signs were a bit hard to read though due to the speed at which ur character goes, maybe  make those more forgiving to make those easier to read. Other then that I really enjoyed ur game :P

You can sure say the player is out of control but I honestly think it's too much. It gets to the verge of almost unplayability and you really jut get frustrated. It wasnt at all clear in the first level that the fountain opened the gate though, I had to look in the comment section. At least the music and character + fountains art is cool. Otherwise you really need to tweak values. Could be cool to have a trail of ice on the ground behind the player, kinda like super meat boy. Also id probably drop the wall bounce since it makes no sense with the fact that you're a cube of ice. Maybe instead go for some sliding mechanic idk.

One of the more interesting out of control character timer mechanics and the movement fit pretty well. Could definitely use a bit more clarity on the fountains opening the portal and your hitboxes were a bit off. Also if you wanted to use signs, it may have been a good idea to make them interactable as well, otherwise they were a bit hard read. Good job overall though!

Submitted

Neat ideas, I really liked how bouncy he was on the walls. The tutorials and signs could have been done better though, it was tricky to read with how fast the character moves! Plenty of fun though :)

Submitted

Great art i dig it!! overall really nice game :D

Submitted

Liked it alot, very fun way to implement a ice mechanic

Submitted

Really unique mechanic and very fun game! I think that the character was a bit too slippy during the tutorial, making it difficult to read the signs but the mechanic was used in clever ways and it fitted the theme really well, great job!

I really liked the game! was a bit confused at first how to open the portal but maybe i missed a sign post. The bouncing feels really nice and launching myself across the map and dunking into the fountain is the most satisfying feeling!

Submitted

Great idea! I found it difficult to read the sign posts because my little dude just went too fast passed them. Also maybe an indication when I can press E to do stuff would help.

Otherwise, good game, great job!

Submitted

Fun little platformer, the lack of friction was pretty fun to deal with albeit diffiicult, and the bouncing off walls was cool. Only feedback would be that I didnt understand I had to get in the fountain and press E a lot to activate the gate. Fun stuff though, and good job on this ^^

This is actually very fun to play ! The little ice cube feels very great to play with and moving around is really nice. The game is a bit easy, but no complaint here ;)

Oh, and I think because of this little ice cube, we'll enter a new ice age... Awesome 🧊😄

Submitted

Every level is an ice level and it's actually fun! Great idea!

Submitted

The Character is cute .

Bouncing around with this little ice cube is fun.

I think level design can have more area to run and bounce around, with this level I feel like I have to stop and think to much because of branching path.

Sometime bouncing off the wall while hold opposite direction feel a bit weird.

Submitted

The platforming mechanic is ultra fun! Discovering the ways I can use the slippery super power was very enjoyable!

Submitted

and that ice cube dude looks hella cute

Submitted

I really liked the bounciness and the slippery controls, though frustrating at times. Fun game!

Submitted

This is a fun game with a nice core platforming mechanic. The controls are a little floaty, but I liked the momentum and bouncing all over the place. I know it's an ice cube, but found the sliding a little frustrating when dealing with some of the narrower platforms- don't mind the slide, but couldn't really get a good stop to be able to turn around and set up my next jump. Would also like an indicator of how many fountains are left in the level. Overall, it's fun and could be great with some tightened up controls.

Submitted

The fact that you have to stand in fountains for a long time is pretty much impossible to figure out without the unfortunately hidden sign and I think said signs should last longer on the screen so you don't have to try and completely stop on them in order to read them.

Otherwise, the game looks nice, the concept is fun although slightly frustrating at times, it reminds me of Sonic's gimmick to try and go fast in levels that require precision jumping. I had fun trying to complete the game, nice work!
