A good design which makes me feel I'm playing two games at the same time. Cute charactor!

really cool idea for the theme. i liked the ice sound :)

i thought the game and the art were pretty cute! i'd say that the game really doesn't give you a change to get your bearings when you start, it kinda comes at you fast at first but i was able to figure things. maybe i'd suggest slowing the bar down a bit and/or making it so it goes up and down as opposed to filling up and immediately firing off. but yeah i liked the idea and i thought it was cool that it progressively got harder, with the globe spinning around and stuff. good job! 👍

Gosh I love the freeze when the bat connects with the ice. Really creative and fun entry! Thanks for making.

when I first played I was so confused, so it hit automatically the ice cube and the strength is the distance it will go, fun way to interpret the theme I liked it

I had a laugh when I understood

I liked the idea. At first it was difficult, but then I understood how to play.

It feels nice hitting two circles at the same time :D

I like this game, the girl is so pretty and charming! And the theme of global warming is so inevitable!

I really liked the gameplay. I always find it interesting when IRL sports concepts are used in creative ways in video games.

Nice work! Cute character design and the rhythm of striking feels nice! Sweet water shader as well👍

This is an really interesting concept. It's sort of a mix of baseball with golf and the continents(?)/islands(?) are the holes. I thought the split screen was a really innovative idea to get the concept that you are hitting the ice cube far.

Also just when I thought, "Oh I guess the gameplay is mainly just this one loop of aiming and hitting." The world started spinning and it made the game more of a challenge. I know there is more stuff that can be added to this game to give it more variety but it's a game jam so I'm not going to harp on it. I think it's in a pretty good state.

Music is fantastic. Very epic. Graphics are great.

very nice game, when the planet started rotating, it started being more interesting and really made it fun.

Nice game. Epic music.

Well that was adorable and epic! Concept is original and a funny take on saving the world. The gameplay mechanics are nicely executed and put together with a good difficulty increase as time goes on. Just as you get used to it, it mixes thing up! The only thing with the gameplay that felt a bit odd to me was that, after you clicked to hit the cube, the cube would fly in the direction of where your mouse pointed at firing rather than the direction when you hit it. It ddi make it slightly easier later when things were moving since you could correct yourself but it was a little strange since I would move my mouse somewhere else after clicking to line up my next shot and the previous hit wouldn't go where I wanted! (That's me just being suuuper nitpicky for a jam game)

The game looks great with nice little effects and the style was amazing. The split screen meant you could really appreciate the effort put into the graphics. The way she stops to see watch the cube go is real cute and the trail it leaves behind is very satisfying! The music was suitably intense for an epic mission and the sound effects made the game more responsive which was nice. I would maybe suggest adding a little pitch variation to the hit sound to make the game a little more dynamic.

Overall, a really great game that is very nicley polished and put together. Looks amazing with a great atmposphere. Well done!

Gameplay is FUN!!

I have a problem with the game in terms of how it looks, half of the game is just the character hitting but it doesn't really give me information about the game, it's just 'decoration', I think this is more of a personal preference but I rather when in a game everything has a purpose with the game mechanics itself~

I had a lot of fun, I played a few rounds until it got too complicated to control global warming

above all a complete and fun experience, great!

I like it, fun screensplit and hit stop on the ice animation, easy to understand and inventive!

mathglo 2022-04-12 15:53

Nice way to abord the theme. Simple but still well made. Great entry!

It's very similar to hitting in baseball. I love games with hints like this. And even more I love real baseball. This game is popular even in Uganda - https://mel-bet.ug You can go and check the statistics for local teams. This impresses even experienced people)
