Fun little game, the character design is really good and the levels are very pretty. I like the concept art you posted in the thread as well, it's nice to see ideas as they evolve!

Submitted

Awesome Idea concept.

The little ember is so cute, the atmosphere is very engaging,

Very nice graphics, character design and atmosphere is great :O

I agree with TLSAxt, extending ground check would make the game more enjoyable, but still overall nice game!

Hi there, thanks for the feedback! I've looked into the entry build and checked its current ground check delay and seems to be working fine when doing a running jump. It's still doable with a walking jump, but needs quick input from the user.
The current delay is at 0.2 secs, so I'm considering making it at 0.25 or 0.3 for wider accessibility for players. As long as it still looks believable of course. 😊

The game is entertaining and  the atmosphere created is great.

I ADORE the graphics and style of this game; they are the most polished i've seen so far.

I liked the simple controls and mechanics of the game; however, it was a bit weird to me that your run+jump height is significantly higher than your walk+jump height; it made some jumps impossible until I realized that. Also, it took me a couple of tries to see where the un-safe zones were in the ice.

Very cute game! I'd love to see where this heads in the future.

Character is cute...Smooth animation..love the mario mechanics.   However i feel like movement of character could be more responsive. Good Game overall keep it up.

Nice idea.  Great Graphics.  the Controls stuck for me a little on the single wide blocks.  Maybe consider extending the ground  check to allow jumping a little later than you would expect.  I really liked the music.

Please, don't forget to rate mine.

Great work! Ember is a great character! Like the theme! Everything looks great!

Didn't hear the audio at first but I turned up the volume after a while.

Developer

Thanks! Along the development, Ember went through some few tweaks to his appearance. Here’s a sneak preview to his design and as well the other stuff you’ll find in the game.


 For the sound, I have a fixed version ready for this, just need to update after the jam ends.

Loved the graphics man such a nice looking game, controls were solid and though i lack ability in the platforming department i still thoroughly enjoyed the game:) Amazing job!

Hi! Ember is such a cute character, those little leg anims are so cute! The lights in this game are very nice! Theres also hidden traps like platform wouldn't come out if you skip enemies(I think) or fall into the ice hahaha. I couldn't clear the last part. IMO, one of the contenders for the jam :) the cover art is great

Great game! Overall amazed with the graphics, gameplay and concept. This is very well done.

Developer

I greatly appreciate the praises and most importantly, your support! Thank you so much!

Great game! Loved the idea and enemies. With a little sound this would be perfect (unless something was wrong with the version i got as there was no sound for me). Are the flowers supposed to be checkpoints?

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! 😊 The game has a low volume issue, but if you bump up your device volume, you should hear the audio. I'll check the downloadables. Will properly fix this in the future version.
On another note, the flowers are invincibility powerups, directly inspired by the fire flower and star powerups in Super Mario, try it out! 😁
Unfortunately, the checkpoints didn't make it in time for the jam.
