Slick! I'm not great at platformers, but found this to be very satisfying- the state changes are a fun conceit for the mechanics, and even if it was mostly bronze medals for me, I still felt some flowstate happening. Nice work!
This is a cute game-- I love the idea of changing states of water to progress.
I wish it would support controller!
This is really great! Super solid platformer with 2 simple but really fun mechanics. You can really pick up speed which is a blast. I think it would be nice to have the 2 abilities on keys so you can play with just the keyboard but I guess that's not a huge deal.
Really well done!
Thanks a ton for the feedback! It's funny you mention the keyboard haha, It was actually the original way in testing, to use the arrow keys to cycle through states or have each key click to instantly transform to a given state but it didn't feel good so we settled on holding the mouse clicks - looking back though and considering your feedback, I think the problem was more that "click" vs "hold" feels fairly different and we didnt give holding keys a chance at all, and like you said would enable keyboard / laptop players a much easier time. The amount of times I've reccomended it to a friend and they say ahh I only have a laptop 😅 It's a good idea and thanks for making the point, if we update this after the jam we'll definitely consider this
Haha yeah that's why I mentioned it. I'm in slugmode on the couch with my laptop
A very clever idea! I really like moving around, was a bit tricky to get the hang of timing the state changes, but also satisfying!
One art note would be that the player's sprite is at a different resolution to the environment, the pixels are smaller on the player creating mixels. The art is otherwise very pretty, especially the color pallet. The sound of changing states is satisfying.
Nice job balancing between the different forms! I like how you added a ranking system too
Very fun game, but I'm way too slow to pull these levels off slickly, only ever managed to get to silver T.T
Only working on chrome finished
A very cool idea to change into the diffrent forms! Also feels really slick to pull off!
The idea is very intriguing. Swapping between the states feels fun and engaging. I think this game would have benefitted a lot from a bit more juice. Some of the levels felt a bit cobbled together, and lacked parallax/depth. I think the sound design could have felt a bit more integrated as well. But great job, fun game.
The platforming feels good and I love the concept of having to juggle transitioning to all the three states of matter. The speed run aspect also was very enjoyable. Didn't feel too easy to get a great time nor did it feel like I was banking on luck or frame-perfect jumps. Cheers!
We love a cute and fun platformer with good physics. I like that it has the three states of matter for it too.
Fun little game, enjoyed the ice/air switching mechanic. I could definitely see the influence from Celeste on the artstyle.
A cool idea executed well.
Fun game! I like the central idea of changing your state of matter.
Great game! I like the idea of choosing the right form at the right time. Well done!
I love when games like this include a time aspect like bronze silver gold! it makes it way more fun to repeat the same levels over and over again and try to get a better score! very great game.
Very cute! A lot like the SLICK! entry I think, but very enjoyable. I liked the controls and the camera zooms those were nice
SO CUTE!! Love the enviro art ♥♥
Really cool idea! Pretty slick
This one has some slickkk movement. 5/5 from me
