Really enjoyed it!
Wish I could make it further, unfortunately I also got stuck, unable to push myself off of anything anymore.

Thanks for the heads up! Played and finished the new version - only got logs in the last level (which I think is the original one?) it's certainly far more enjoyable now! You seem to be experimenting with level shapes as well, I'd suggest trying levels that go in one direction (bottom up, left to right etc) and then having a few branching paths along the way that converge back - that way you maintain the secretness or difficulty of some logs without generating some type of maze. Cheers!
got stuck twice in the part where you have to wall jump from side to side after you learn to crouch. Controls didn't respond as I expected and I couldn't figure out how to continue. Pity, because the pushing mechanic is a great idea and timing your jumps and crouches as you slide is fun. Narration was also great, very funny.

Crowd ControlThis is one of the most creative theme interpretation i've seen, this is just so cool. I would maybe make the game from up to down - that way its not so unforgiving when You fall at places.
Great voice acting, great mechanic fully explored, kind of hard but not too hard... I think if You would've done many levels and like tutorial levels it would have been more approachable to players.
Good job!

Windmanthanks so much for playing and the awesome feedback!!
I think you're 100% on the money with the slower introduction to the mechanics, and maybe saving the uphill climb until a later stage is a great idea too!
This is the first game I've shown the world and has been a great learning experience and feedback like this is unbelievably helpful so thanks again for taking the time to play and send me the message :)
I'll work on it some make and let you know once it's done.
Hahaha the narration is fab, love a good voice over in a jam game! Comboing the slides with jumps is fun

I enjoyed this style of gameplay using the friction from the ice. I just had problems some places where I got stuck.
The narration is pretty cool, nice job!
