Nice work! My complaints are that the game doesn't handle very well, the player movement seems a little hard to grasp and when you go into the ice mode while underwater you get stuck for good. Music was nice, and the art was good as well.

Good work, although i have to say the controls are quite horrible, the main reason to that being the fact that you just get stuck on every wall.

Music is nice, level design is classic but well done.

I liked the graphics, although I am unsure how it relates to the theme. I did find a glitch where I was swimming on air. I also kept getting stuck in walls. I think the player was a bit too fast as well. Other than that good job.

Fun game and good visuals. Loved the music as well. Very calming.

Just the handling and better animations would make this much better

Really cool idea, enjoyed it!

Game was much harder than i would have expected, because jumping and moving did not work very well and player kept getting stuck in walls

Nice work! I liked it

Nice, but controls are bad.

Cool concept. I like the fact that you can change the season whenever you want. Nice job.

Nice music, decent graphics and an interesting concept. Unfortunately the game has some issues with the collision management; it was easy to get stuck on things.

How sad I cant rate you on music :(

I'm really sorry to put it that way, and I know i suck at jumping in games but I got ebola jumping in this game : yeah, something is definitely fucked up with that, I would have quit if I couldnt have tricked by grabbing the edge of the elevating platform from water then hanging on the wall to wait the platform to go down. Speaking of water, how sad I have to sink instead of swimming to go down. ><
Sometimes, you can jump fucking high but you have no idea how to do it again and end up spamming space with hopes of triggering some OP jump.
Also, I found some nasty bug double clicking the ctrl button, I swear it made Frank fly ! I'm gonna assume it's a god mode.

Positive aspects now xD :
Graphics are way better than anything I've seen so far, even outside this jam, they're smooth and pleasant.
Again, music is beautiful.
I LIKED the Rod of Ages idea xd.
And well, this is my kind of games so I've only been a bit rough because I couldn't play it properly >:(
(really you've no idea how irritating it felt to play such a pretty game raging for something so stupid)

Please fix this shitty jumping/swimming and sell it on Steam ! :D

The idea is great!
But controls are glitchy and unhandy.

Thank you all for playing this game and for your feedback.
We were aware of the control issues, but hadn't enough time to fix them during Ludum Dare.
Today, we added a link to a new version with improved controls. The player shouldn't get stuck in every wall anymore. The swimming controls have also been improved. I hope these improvements make our game more enjoyable for you.

We are aware that the controls are still far from perfect. In fact, we are thinking about continuing work on this game. And if we do, we will definitely revise the controls.

Art looked nice, and the concept was pretty neat, but as others have said, the game handles poorly. It wasn't very playable :(

krammetje 2016-04-23 11:38

Game looks pretty good, but plays horrible. Getting stuck a lot while trying to get out of water.

linealgames 2016-04-24 00:10

I really like the art style but there were some glitches where I would be swimming in mid air when there was no water and would often get stuck on walls when swimming

lochmann-apps 2016-04-26 14:32

Fun game, nice art and the music is great as well, nice work guys :)

lereveur 2016-04-28 19:58

Except the weird controls, this game is good. :)

Cute and fun game. Couldn't find what to do after I ran into the three locked squares, and ran into a bug right in there, now I am able to swim around everywhere (in winter season), and cannot change the season.
