Out of the games I've played this is probably my favorite interpretation of the theme. Platformers are tricky (especially with a dynamically-sized main character) but this was fun to play through.

The theme is incorporated really nicely! I was really surprised with the amount of content in the game, there are like 3 different biomes with their own styles and music, gives a lot of variety. And all the levels have some kind of decorations, so they are not empty. Graphics are really cute. The game difficulty was balanced, fridges were placed well. I know it was mentioned a lot, but yeah, double jump messed me up a lot of times. So if you will be making a post-jam version, it would be cool if you impoved the character controller.  Anyways, if I remember correctly, this is your first jam and as for the first time this is an impressive game! 

By the way, why there are separate 1000px and 1400px version?

Thank you for your feedback! If the game receives a decent placement, we plan to create a post-jam version that makes double jump more enjoyable and adding new stuff/improving things. We have two separate versions because it seemed faster to just make a seperate version of the game for smaller/lower quality devices. Could have been done better for sure, but the jam almost ended and we didnt have much time left. I am really glad you liked the graphics and the game in general!

In my opinion to have music play during gameplay you need to make sure it's a really good non-annoying loop or else you're better off having nothing because it hurts the polish. Also holy exposition dump grandpa ice cube lol. Level win screen and having to go back to main menu needs polish. I actually liked level 3's music a lot better.

Nice platforming mechanics, double jumping, dashing, crouching. Double jump bug definitely makes level 3 a little hard. What makes it easy is the dash bug?, you can spam dash, assuming that's not intended?

You being able to spam dash is no bug and intended because you melt while dashing so you need to be careful to not melt compleatly. I am sorry that you didnt like the music... Personally I really like it. Maybe the loop is not perfect... and also, yes, double jump sometimes doesnt work bc if you are walking of a platform your jump already counts as your double jump if you know what I mean. I know all your complaints are true but time was ticking and with this being our first jam... there was no time for fixing more little things. But thanks for playing!

I don't think space is the best key for a dash, but otherwise nice aesthetic and pretty simple mechanics, great job!

Developer

haha, Dash also works with shift! Maybe I need to highlight that in the description...

Had lots of fun! I loved the art a heap, it felt really cozy, My main thing would just be controls - Space for dash felt a little unnatural, maybe shift or smth? And the double jump felt pretty inconsistent, it sometimes just decided not to work. Other then that i really enjoyed it though! Fit the theme perfectly <3

Developer

Dash already works both with Space and Shift! Double jump could be perfectioned but we didnt have time left ;-;. Thanks for playing!

ERROR!? Oh no :)) That was a really fun take on the theme of the jam! I loved the concept and the challenge of making it through increasingly hotter worlds. The level design and the level elements were enjoyable to platform through and thank goodness for all those checkpoints... most of the time >:( Congrats on making such a great game for your first jam

game is very fun, but on the 3rd levels the dash+jump mechanic gets a little  bugged

Developer(+1)

Its not exactly bugged, but if you jump while you are not on a block anymore your jump already counts as a double jump... If we would have had more time we could have fixed it. Thanks for playing tho!
