The link is broken

@graphite It is fixed now!

What a relaxing platformer! At first I thought landing was what ran down your meter because you were losing water from the impact, so a short hop would have helped, but I think its just a time limit. I also found myself slipping off narrow platforms a few times. Very nice animation though and starts with a good challenge for people who have played platformers before.

@nbumgardner Thanks for the feedback! We had fun making it, glad you enjoyed playing it.

The level design and the backgrounds were pretty interesting

Really great. I love the art style! The audio also fit perfectly

Loved the art style and audio was amazing! Liked playing it as well, was having a hard time completing anything though, but I guess it was just me not really understanding the jumping.

Love a good platformer! There is a slight learning curve to the jump arc/momentum, probably due to everyone being used to controlling a certain plumber haha. But once you get the hang of it, the game controls well and has quite a bit of content.

I think the difficulty hits a good median point between brutal and too easy, but I think you _could_ afford to make it more punishing.

Good job!

FUN....challenging but FUN

nathan-evans 2022-04-05 06:13

@nubbyninja Thanks for playing my game! Have a great night!

Good classic platformer. Sometimes a drop slides along the edge of the platform and falls, and I still don’t understand if this is a bug or a feature.

@ternox Thanks for playing. We think the slippery component to prevent clipping on the blocks was turned up a little high looking to fix this is our post-jam version. Thanks for the Comment!

Cool art and audio!

There's a lot of charm here with the hazard/sprite animations and their emotive speech boxes :speech_balloon: The heat+liquid=evaporation is a good use of the theme and together with the "close valves then rescue" mechanic makes for a very enjoyable game.

Brilliant work for your first jam!

lambbrainz 2022-04-08 02:01

Pretty fun. The audio is good and the graphics are nice.

My only critique would be that the resolution of certain assets are mismatched. But other than that, good job!

@bodcodes @squimmy @lambbrainz Thanks for playing our game! Thanks for the great feedback!
