That was entertaining. I wish I could speed up the dash somehow though lol. I had some lag spikes but that could have been my slow-ass PC. I had fun playing it, thanks for sharing :)

Nice game, something you can get the hang of easy but still has a challenge to it.
really great submission! Super polished, gameplay was very fun. I loved the second path through each level that was tougher than the first. Getting the super jump consistently was super fun, as was the ice mechanics. Well done!
Fun game! This game made me frustrated in a good way, where I spent the first half playing on a trackpad, but then got up to get a mouse after failing the last level a million times haha. Love the take on the theme and the sound design, good job :)
Very cool. This game is hard, but plays very smoothly. I especially loved the little bit of a slide the character can do on ground (and doubly so the sliding on ice). It all works out very well. Something about the greenish yellow fruit with holes in it though...eugh. I couldn't die fast enough. =D
Nice work, very polished and fun.
I also had these lag spikes as it was already mentioned (it happened consistently when I tried to reset). Still this game was really fun to play and the movement was very well done in the short span of 3 days! Good job :thumbsup:
This was a neat game to play! The introduction of the different materials to land on surprised me, and really added some depth to the gameplay. That was a very good choice.
the ice was a cool mechanic, and the second half being about completing all the levels again but faster was fun
Wonderful stuff! Great bit of challenge while still feeling possible to beat. The controls felt great, I never felt like I was fighting the game, any time I didn't succeed I was well aware that was on me. Lovely music too, excellent job! (Also, nice work on the mouth swoosh sounds)
What an exciting game! I had passed the test! Good impression!
What fuking game！So Hard！
Did you make the sound for getting the fruits? I found that hilarious for some reason 😂. The map was quite challenging, but there was always a way to solve nice. The maps a very balanced. If you add like a title scene and ending scenes, I think it'll be a great indie game. Nice job!
Cool game. I flew out of screen at some point. Sliding on ice was a nice idea. Most levels required thinking before starting, sort of planning the route I will take or I would end up dead. It's fun once you get the hang of it. Music was nice. I also liked how fruits changed each time I lost :)
Really cool game to cruise through! I felt if you were good at the mid-air dash, the game kinda got trivialized. I really liked the last level with the ice on the right where you couldn't do this though! Very cool!
Easy to understand but tricky to master! Only managed to just squeak past on each level haha. The ice was a fun mechanic.
Cool game! So my first thought was that is was really tight. I managed all the levels but only barely. Like milliseconds left, and I failed multiple of them multiple times before figuring the right routine out. Then after I closed the game down, I saw there was an mid-air-dash, and I think that might have been handy. xD
Anyways, great game. Far more action packed than the music insinuate. Really snappy. Looks good. Addictive game play, and fun levels. I felt challenged throughout the game, and satisfied when I completed the level with 0.3 second left.
Really solid entry!
Good game creativity, with appropriate level design, congratulations
Really fun game! The timer felt a _little_ punishing, but it felt great figuring out how to beat each level. :)
It's great to see ice implemented in a fun way! Most games just make it a nuisance.
This. Is. Amazing. First off, gameplay is smooth and innovative! The graphics is gorgeous and the sound really adds to the urgency with the ticking/bubble sound, while also being serene. Easy and intuitive to learn, but takes planning and timing to master. Amazing work! ^~^
Super great!! The gameplay is really fun & smooth, even on a trackpad (I really appreciated the inclusion of the spacebar to jump in addition to clicking.) The art is charming, and the sound fits well to the game. Very intuitive, and left me wanting for it to be expanded upon (the inclusion of ice opened up all sorts of new avenues of gameplay.) My only complaint would be that the game seemed to fit better to a kind of precision platforming rather than the strictly timed gameplay it uses. That's a small complaint, though, because it works great as is. Overall, awesome game.
Great concept and implementation. I like the thin like between challenging hard, but still beatable.
In a way I got reminded of bouldering, as you first observe the level and plan your route, but then start executing it, and something happened not in a way you expected (too steep ledge / can't reach -> misclicked direction, timed wrongly). And then you have to start again.
One negative thing that stayed in my mind, was that some fruit color combination is rather hard to distinguish from the environment and the background. I would prefer to try to reach the fruit rather than spend time searching where I had missed it.
It's also interesting to see you switch engines over various Ludum Dare entries. Do you choose engine specifically for the idea? or just want to come back to it/experiment? Just curious. :thinking:
Woooaaa this game is hard but really fun! I loved experimenting and optimizing my path with each run. You did a great job with the level design. Difficulty ramped up at a good speed. Nice job!
Nice little game. Just couldn't execute speed jump and mid-air jump so after some time gave up trying and finished the game with simple jump. Still, good job!
Really impressive game for a jam entry. Very well realized presentation, audiovisually coherent and great level design.
The movement took me a little while getting used to but once I did it felt natural and quickly executing a pre planned route became very satisfying. The whole thing kind of reminds me of the way n++ feels. The levels looping is a neat, economic solution to the time limitations of a jam in the context of content.
I like your game! First I did not know that you needed to return to the ship for the level to finish, but eventually I found out :-) I had fun playing yours. The graphics and music are well done and the gameplay feels solid. I like how it gets a little bit trickier at every new level.
Great game! Simple yet challenging. Good job!
Wow, what a speedy game! The controlling felt a little slippery in the ice levels but that was of course the idea of the ice. I liked that your character went among the walls like rollercoaster :D
I liked the challenges that got gradually more difficult, it got very hard after a while. I played to third level of the second round and couldn't do it anymore.
Nice simple graphics and good song :)
Very smooth gameplay, I'm a sucker for special dashes. I also liked the simple controls a lot! It was tough but fun to play. Great, highly polished submission.<3
I had to come back just to tell you that I opened the game again today just to listen to the music as it was stuck in my head for couple of days and I wasn't sure what game it was from.
What a haunting song, so light, so mysterious :space_invader:
