Wow, this was quite a game. I really liked the mechanic of being able to switch between liquid and solid in order to progress through the level. I also liked that the game had a tutorial that explained all the main mechanics, and also a few simple levels in order to let you learn some of the basic things before diving into more complicated levels. In addition, the game was very polished and had a good amount of levels considering that you only had 2 days to work on the game, and the art and audio were well made as well. One note is that the later levels are very tedious to complete, they require you to perform many difficult actions, that failing a single one of them will cause the level to reset. Having a few checkpoints on those levels so you wouldn't need to finish the parts you already completed many times before would make the game a lot less frustrating. Still, a very solid submission!

Interesting idea! You can a do various level with that! Hope to see a full game someday!!!
The art was really nice! I loved the design of the main character! The swimming animation is great. The concept was also so inventive and interesting
Looks nice! But skipping rating since I can't figure out how to dash for some reason (with keyboard)
Super solid platformer!
Looks good, gotta say I love the moving between scenes black screen thing.
Nicely done, was fun and challenging at times. Loved how the controls are in the BG aswell.
Heyo, now here's a platformer with a cool base game play mechanic! I really like the interpretation of the theme here. The graphics and style top quality for this game. Some parts of this were pretty tough though, didn't get overly far. Nice job,
Cool idea and execution =D and also the levels are unique and develop the mechanics of the game pretty good! great work overall!
everyone watched me struggle with this live... but I'm just stoppid
Great name for the game, and interesting levels. I think I died more on the tutorial than the first 3 levels haha
Really cool concept for a puzzle game! I love the animations, especially the fish's little sweat bubbles when you go on ice. What are the chances of a walkthough at some point? I just could not figure out how to get the box on top of the ledge on level 2 and it is going to drive me crazy. Great work!
Brilliant entry! Interesting puzzles, some that I struggled with and great graphics
It might just be that I'm bad at keyboard but I keep pressing r when I meant e and reseting the level. Thankfully that's my only major issue. Great game!
I really liked the visuals, idea, and sound effects for the game. I did find some cheeses that you could do, like jumping off of the box and picking it up mid air to skip parts. Also, in the 'race' level, you can fish flop over to the water area with the box and just swim right on down. Although, I think I needed those cheeses to keep my sanity. Some of those levels were really difficult, but it was a really fun and unique experience overall!
Oh man the cheeses... I had a friend play 30 minutes before the deadline and he found a bunch of them. Could only take out a couple out but also decided to leave in the mid-air box jumps because I thought it was a cool cheese to discover. However, some cheeses I would perfer not to have in the game. Thanks for playing!
This is a pretty neat idea. I think I would have personally preferred a higher focus on the puzzle part than the platformer part, but the controls felt pretty good.
