This is super fun, I love the magic switching theme!
Such a cute puzzle game xD I love the theme, as well as the graphic~ was confused at first, until I realized it was "E" scorched on the ground.
Soooo cool! Amazing gameplay, really fun to play
- game play was interesting up to the point were you had to keep pushing the frozen bomb farther and farther to the next rock wall. - art was great - music/SFX were good
Nice puzzle mechanics and great artwork.In terms of feedback, I fealt that I had to do a lot of back-tracking to get the candy.
My only complaint is that E doesn't look like an E. Otherwise, I think it's great.
Great game, music is amazingly cool.
came back again after realizing from the comments that E cycles your power (also, note the color shifts are hard to see if color blind) that made the game much more interesting.
The game does a good job of teaching you your abilities to solve the puzzles.
Got stuck for a bit at a glitch with invisible frozen bomb, but it's really fun game, would love to see more of it!
Nice mechanic, sweet tunes and crispy spritework!
First of all, the block pushing was horribly slow and you had to do it once because you only learned about color switching after that spot. The blocks and bombs were also very good at getting stuck on walls.

The mechanic was interesting and could probably and you could do a lot more with it, you pretty much just scratched the surface here. Quite a few of the puzzles felt a bit samey and it pretty much ended right after I started getting used to the powers. The amount of tutorial was spot on. I like how you weren't too hand-holdy and just game the player the tools and left it for themselves to figure out how to use them properly in a safe and contained space where you'd have to figure them out to proceed.
The visuals had some weird glitches all the time. The grass flickered with some extra lines every now and then and the sprite depth orders were constantly messing up like this. candyzissues.png
There was also a weird inconsistency where if you stood too close, your flames didn't go past the bushes. And then right in the end there was a possibility to completely soft lock yourself out of the game. Too bad the weird wall clipping inconsistencies didn't affect the player and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't glitch out of there. I had to completely start from the scratch just to find out that it was the end.

All in all, good job!
This game is great it reminds me of the puzzle game on game boy of my childhood! As said before the blocks are a little slow to push, and the "physics" of the blocks is strange! otherwise the puzzles and the powers are well brought it's nice work! Some small bugs to correct and we have the excellent retro game!
I love this!! Great idea for a puzzle game. Great implementation of the puzzles.
Well designed mechanics and puzzles, I really liked it even if it doesn't fit the theme that well.
Interesting concept and fun gameplay. Music is great. Well done ++
Damn, this is a really good entry. I had to read the comments to understand the E was an instruction, not just scorched ground, but that was really fun and great puzzles. Love it!

Had a few graphical glitches, other than that- pretty fantastic. I was stumped by the double walls for a moment. Really smooth gameplay and clever puzzles.
One of the more fun games I've played in this jam. The level/puzzles were well designed and kept things interesting. I'm not sure I was feeling the theme too strongly, but it's a good name nonetheless!
Great job! This was a fun game to play, and the puzzles were interesting all the way through. Not sure what "incompatible genres" it was combining, but it was a good time regardless. :)
too short, you should add more levels
This was great! I initially made the error of assuming I had to be on the E icon in order to change (no idea why) so I kept backtracking. Once I realised you could change at any time things really clicked. Great work, would love to see more!
