Wow! I'm very impressed, even I didn't get 9.7k+, super progress! I will add you as the current highest score to the itch page 😄
You are spot on with the ice recommendation! The 3d design and game mechanic codes for the ice cube actually exists in the game files, but since this was my very first game and first jam, I believe I made some time management issues and didn't have the time to implement mechanics that would make the ice phase cool and enjoyable (like fallen down logs, that only ice could break by sliding etc.), so I decided to remove it for a smoother player experience.
Also yes, the water drop is kind of sus ;)
Thank you for playing my game and your great feedback, means a lot to me!
