I really dig the puzzles in this one. The player speed is a bit fast, but at the same time barely making it past certain obstacles at that speed was satisfying. Overall a pretty well made game. Good stuff :)

Definitely an extremely well designed game, combining puzzle and platforming elements together really well. I saw the comments saying that the speed is a bit fast, but I think it's more of a problem with the acceleration. A slower (not-instant) acceleration to max speed will help with not speeding into random spikes and make being able to turn and shoot projectiles without slamming into something a lot easier. The max speed is fine in my opinion. Other than that, there is an issue in the final optional challenge where at the very end, last platform, the camera movement trigger is a bit too low and jumping to the very last platform will cause the camera to move while you are still in danger, which is annoying. Also, I felt like I sort of skipped some of the parts for the final optional challenge (went above the moving spikes rather than inside the ground), but had a lot of fun!
LOL! This is a very very fun game. I feel like all the areas are very well planned and placed for very precise controls, some of these areas even require pre-planning like you need to ice multiple platforms before you start jumping. Its a very advanced and challenging platform. Really well planned!
I like the icing mechanic and the ice blobbing out from the characters head, so cute! Fantastic action puzzle game. 5 stars!
I agree with Akseru. The speed is a little fast. Otherwise this is a great game.
Please don't forget to rate mine.
Nice game! But the speed of the character could be a little slower.
Liked the way you did the puzzle-like obstacles.
i cant stress how much i loved this game. My favorite one in this jam so far AND by far. Collectible parts were REALLY difficult, but didn't feel unfair thanks to the responsive and fluid controls. Every category in this game ('cept for idk the theme, im not sure) i can say this game nails it perfectly. 12/10 Gr8 game m8.
Liked the gameplay, graphics and sound (really nostalgic feels.)
Tiny problem with the character control though as I can't nudge it precisely where I want it to go. Sorry to say but that made me rage quit. ๐ But I tried playing again, this time using a Joystick Controller and it is much better now to play. ๐
I don't know how far or close I am into finishing the level. It's a really challenging puzzle platformer! Here's the part where I got furthest. My jump reflexes not fast enough to get through this part, or maybe I'm just missing something... ๐ค my brain hurts. ๐
Great game! I really enjoyed it and would suggest you turn this into a full-fledged game! :) I got stuck on the "freeze the spiny flower" part but I hope to be able to beat this eventually! XD
Great puzzle platformer mix! Although I did manage to get stuck in a series of blocks :)
This game is really challenging and requires some real skill and precision. I died a ton in this game but I though that the progression in how to get to the next checkpoint was great and you did a good job building on the mechanics!
