Yo, congrats on #1 slickest game!

The art is cute, the music is chill, and the mechanics are interesting. I had to check the comments to find out how to jump off of the snow-blob guys, but the rest seemed pretty straightforward. Nice work overall!

Slick as heck! Visuals are great as well!

Only dweebs and herbs haven't played this game.

This is really sick! You guys killed this one! Super impressive!

One super small suggestion is to move fly to the jump button when you're in the air. I don't think it needs to be a separate button.

You guys should be proud of this one, well done!

This is a pretty challenging platformer, but it works pretty well. The icy, friction-less areas require equal parts thinking and timing, which is pretty unique.

Combines new-school art with old-school difficulty. I couldn't make it past level two myself. Can't guarantee I won't try again! Nothing could have prepared me for the jacket of slicksformation and it's undoubtedly cascading effects on the gaming industry as a whole. Things will never be the same. Bravo!

This was awesome, my fiance and I both really enjoyed it! There's a lot of mechanics but getting them all down was super satisfying, really had a wonderful flow. Love the visuals as well, and the boulder stage at the end was a great cherry. EXCELLENT job!

Great art, animation, and music! Unfortunately, I felt that the movement was too difficult; I typically don't like ice levels because of the control they take from the player, and this game pushes that concept further. I did however, really like the music of the second level, and how it used the theme of "slick."

This was one of my favorite submissions I've played so far! The art is super cute, the gameplay's fun and unique, and I love how each level has a unique gimmick.

I like this a lot but I'm stuck, I think I'm missing something: - any hints for how to get a high enough jump up here?
I see there is a control to fly, but on keyboard m isn't doing anything? Edit: oh I think I can get up by spending health...

You should be able to bounce off the snowblobs if you hold jump while landing on them.

What a slippery game! I am the rare person who enjoys ice physics. :P

A jumping, sliding snowman is a fun concept! The level design is challenging but feels very rewarding to master! Great job on this one!

This is easily one of my favorite games I've played so far! I love the charming graphics/animations, pleasant music/sound effects, unique platforming mechanics, SLICK power-ups, and cool secrets! :D

Awesome game! There's a lot of attention to detail in the art, and the level design is very good.

THIS IS SLICK - especially for it being able to be played in browser. This is such a fun platformer with awesome mechanics and secrets. I didnt even realize that I was going the secret way on the second level. Such a fun game that has such a unique movement feel to it. More people gotta play this game

Really fun platformer, the controls feel very good
