Fun platformer! I like how you can use the environment to change the enemies' temperature. Only thing I'd suggest is to decrease the hitbox on the enemies. Good job!

Did you follow the theme?
The theme was a major inspiration for the gameplay and art design. The main character and the enemies are all designed around temperature, and this also influences gameplay. You need to lower the temperature of the enemies in order to attack them (this is done by making them touch water), and the main character will melt if the temperature is too high in each level.
Did you (you or your team) do the graphisms yourself?
All art was made by me within GameMaker Studio

I managed to glitch myself here hehe, stuck in the wall after a jump. I was able to keep jumping up to the upper platform and keep going:D I beat it again. wasn’t sure to move side to side for the boss, which was really cool!!! I really enjoyed the journey. Thank you Keep it Up!

I just found a bug, you can get stuck if you go too far. You can jump jump jump your way out. but just wanted to share. Also maybe making the hit box for the enemies to hurt you a little smaller, I feel they get me on the sides more than not. The fire jets are a little hard to read but that make a good challenge.

Let me say this was super fun to play, Normal felt a little hard, but I have some feedback to help with that. below are some screenshots of the moments that took a little longer then expected.
When you are at the point where you have to “cube” your way through the green bubbles with the upside-down walking along with block that break over time. The player gets stuck waiting for the block and if you move you will die from the fire. I had to get close to the walking part so when the last block went away I was allowed to move. The spike on this was so hard for me to clear, maybe lowering the collider or making some room for error would be nice. I didn’t know till later I could kill the round headband ones, Also I could see my score cuz of the fullscreen was too big within my browser. You can turn on the full screen button under the itch page settings, I think that would help also.
I really loved the cube life, getting to the end and using the cannon was well worth the journey, great job, I can’t wait to see what you make of it. Already I am blown away. Keep it up.
Thank you! I am actually planning on adjusting the difficulty modes a bit so they are overall easier to get through. I think I know what part you’re talking about in the upside down level, and I will definitely fix that too, along with the part with the spikes. I am planning on adding an arrow indicator above the heads of the enemies when they are able to be damaged, at least for the first few times, that should make it more clear. I’ll also fix the fullscreen issue. Your feedback was very helpful, thank you so much!
Hey! I tried downloading the file and playing it and it immediately crashes. (This was on my Mac) I tried it on Windows and it looks like it is a Mac only file. If you want to export a windows version, or a different Mac version let me know and I will try it out for you! Looking forward to playing this and seeing how you did on developing it
