Melting Point is a fast paced 2D platformer focused on downward vertical movement. The game is set in an underground facility designed to test weather controlling experiments. You play as Experiment 12, a sentient ice block who must escape from the facility after something malfunctions and the temperature skyrockets. In danger of melting, Experiment 12 must go deeper into the facility to escape the heat and find a way out. 

Each level of the game is a floor, and the goal is to get to the door at the bottom before you melt. Over time, the temperature goes up, which can be seen by multiple indicators on screen. If the temperature reaches 32˚, you will melt and have to restart the floor.

Throughout your escape, you'll run into bouncy purple slime, falling dirt blocks, spikes, flamethrowers, flaming enemies that you'll have to put out with water, and much more. Every level introduces new challenges and snowcones to collect,  plus there are multiple difficulty levels so that you can further challenge yourself after your first run of the game.

This game was made for the Level Up Circle: Beginner Jam #1 with the theme "Temperature is Key".

Controls:

This can be used to get through green slime, press switches defeat weakened enemies, and to increase your downward falling speed in the air. You can press the W key to enter the doors at the bottom of each floor, and you can select options on the main menu with a mouse.
