How does your game represent "Slick"?
The game features some slick movement mechanics and character design to start, but it also literally meets the definition by including ice sliding mechanics for speed boosts to navigate the stage as an otherwise slow protagonist.

Super interesting concept, felt really satisfying to hit a long slide and launch a frozen enemy. Great job!
I'm glad you enjoyed the slide mechanics. Thanks so much for playing our game!
Great cutscenes wow! Fun game overall
Thanks so much! The cutscenes were a lot of work. I'm glad you had fun. Thank you for playing!
I loved setting up my ice safe-zones, felt cool slowly transforming the map and gaining the upper hand over the enemies, very cool game!
I'm glad you had fun. Thanks so much for playing!
Wow, that intro had me cracking up! LOL Super slick mechanics and it all felt pretty polished. Amazing team work!!!
I appreciate the kind words! We spent a lot of time on that intro and our programmers did a great job with the mechanics. Thank you for taking the time to play our game!
The intro is very funny! And nicely drawn too! *CHAOS AND SUCH*
Fun game!
Thanks so much! That intro took a lot of work. I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for playing our game!
hell yea dude
I love the cutscene! So much effort must've gone into that. I had lots of fun sliding around on the ice paths too.
Thanks so much! The intro was definitely a lot of work. I'm glad you enjoyed it as well as the sliding mechanics. Thank you for taking the time to play our game!
This is really incredible for a week of development time!
Thanks so much! We had a full team of 5, each of us putting in MANY hours. Everything really came down to the wire to have it ready in time. Thank you for playing our game!
lol amazing, so much pixel art during cutscene. It was fun to figure out that sliding makes your fire rate high. Also nice ice visuals
Yes, a lot of work went in to the opening. Glad you had fun! Thank you so much for playing our game!
The title screen looks really nice and sliding on the ice was fun
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! :D Thanks for checking out our game!
nice powerchord cameo. im surprised with the great cutscene with the time we had. the game itself is a lot of fun. the iceblast mechanic is really well done. awesome job!!
Thank you so much! I programmed the cutscene and it came down to maybe the last hour once I had all the assets to put everything together. We appreciate the kind words :3
Hey, I'm glad someone caught the POWERCHORD reference! I honestly didn't expect anyone to. Thanks for taking the time to play our game!
Got all the way to stage 3, good game dude. Fun spin on the isekai trope :)
I always love a good isekai, haha! Great work on the game. Sliding around and shooting was quite satisfying and I love the mechanic of having to slide into the enemies to knock them into obstacles to kill them.
I appreciate it! I'm glad you enjoyed the mechanics. Our programmers did a great job. Thanks for playing!
This is a full on game! Solid gameplay I enjoyed it
Thank you! I'm glad you had a good time. Thanks for playing!
I really enjoyed the premise. I think it was balanced well to encourage good use of the slide. I think it would be fun if the jump had more impact out of the slide. I think it would be cool if it went farther and got a big impact if you were moving faster. Opening cinematics were my favorite part.
Thanks for the feedback! We worked very hard on the intro, so I'm glad you liked it so much. Thank you for playing our game!
Opening and style are great, I liked sliding around and the basic concept, but I feel like the base movement could use a bit of fine tuning, i felt a bit slow and clunky at first. But once you get used to it is really fun and I would love to see it expanded with more enemies, bosses etc.
Thank you so much! We worked very hard on the opening, so I'm glad you liked it. The base movement was supposed to be a bit slow in order to encourage the player to slide around. I could see how it might feel a bit TOO slow though. We didn't have as much time for balancing/tweaks as we wanted. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience regardless. Thanks for taking the time to play our game!
Really cool concepts and game play, shooting ice around to change the terrain was really neat. Sliding around was fun, along with pushing the enemies into objects and off the map. I accidentally broke the game by soft locking my character after covering lava with ice and sliding over it, other than that very slick game and the sprite were amazing.
Oh no, that's the first I've heard about the softlock issue. I'll make sure our programmers are aware of that for the future. I'm glad you enjoyed the sliding mechanic so much. Thank you for playing our game!
I had a lot of fun with the gameplay on this one. The narrative got me laughing too if not just by how heavily you've leaned into the ridiculous the anime trope. Any gripes I would have would honestly just be nitpicking. Nice art, nice animations, great execution on the mechanics, good level design, etc... Very solid work everyone :)
You're too kind! We all worked very hard, so I'm glad you enjoyed so many different aspects. Thank you for taking the time to play our game!
opening of this game is better than some movies out there :D
Haha thank you so much! We worked very hard on that intro, so I'm glad it paid off. Thanks for playing!
Everything about this game is perfect, amazing job!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it so much. Thanks for playing!
