This one absolutely ruled -- came here because the title contains my online handle, but stayed because the game was a delight. The audiovisual style is wonderful (the groovy music alleviates frustration well and Wizzle's walk cycle is great) and the puzzles get very tricky as the game goes on. There's a lot of potential in this one and it's definitely a standout entry, congratulations!

Team Wizard :D This game looks great, sounds great and feels great! The icicle jump mechanic is genius and the wizard animations are simply adorable I love the way the hat flaps :)

RuneweaverThat's a very nice take on the double jump mechanic! It doesnt seem that jumping or shooting alone are used that much so have a single button to do both is quite a good idea! It gave me so vibe from Celeste, which is a pretty good goint in my opinion ahah Well done!

The One Who CrawlsGreat concept! I really think the lack of cayote jumps makes it a bit frustrating . Zooming levels were amazingly designed though, I totally don't expect this level of design from jam games.

Death Count SwordmasterReally original and interesting icicle-riding mechanic! Impressive also how many rooms introduce a different mechanic. This game is so polished it could be a Celeste DLC!

Ant Colony BuilderWhat a great platforming mechanic! Honestly wanted to play more even after I got to the ending. I do wonder if there is a way to fine tune the mechanic so that you don't need a dedicated button that both jumps and shoots an icicle at the same time. It was very much needed in this version of the game, but it feels a bit.... unnecessary(?) to have a separate button that does something that two other buttons already do.
My favorite moment in the game was probably when you grabbed the golden icicle and the storm settled in. It felt surprising but really ramped up the intensity in an interesting way.
I really enjoyed the VVVVVV style "room names" as well, what a fun callback to a great game!
Oh and special props to David L. for writing the music- a banger tune! I think the background track played a big role in my enjoyment of the game.

Move onVery good platformer, with a lot of potential to grow into a full title. Jumping over the icycle was really cool. I only had a small issue with having to press C and D at the same time. Perhaps a different key configuration would be beneficial.

White LimboAbsolutely incredible mechanic, really innovative and fun to play with. Level design is also great, I loved the one where you have to go all the way back across 3 screens really fast. Overall, excellent entry!
