I finished it!

I really like this game. The mechanic is simple but there are a ton of ways to use it in the levels and it's fun to use and jump around and stuff. The level and puzzle design was solid and there was a nice staged introduction of new mechanics (Like the areas that take away and give you back ice blocks) as well as new ways to use the existing mechanics that kept it interesting throughout. The visuals pop well and I like the little animation on the dude. The sound is good, especially that drone when the death screen shows up, very juicy. The game itself has quite a bit of juice.

My primary feedback is that because the puzzles are a bit unforgiving, lots of timing stuff and long backtracks across dangerous terrain, any bugs can be frustrating. In one of the levels I kept clipping through the moving platform, and in another one the spikes on the side of a platform would kill me on top of the platform when I was jumping off. Not a huge deal, just a minor thing, but it made those specific levels a bit frustrating.

All in all an awesome game, well done!

This is a nice platformer game! It was frustrating at times trying to jump and summon ice at the same time and then land on the ice, but that is what the challenge of a platformer game is. I liked all the different traps/obstacles you made, and the level design was really smart. Especially when you get through half the level and then realize you were supposed to summon ice at the beginning :3

Good game. I was impressed by the number of levels. I was able to get to the end. The only downside was some input lag issues but that might have been because I was playing in the browser. A little janky but mostly a pretty solid experience. Audio/music worked well. Art worked for what it was going for. Good job!

I played the browser version, it looks like the camera is too zoomed in and I can't see most of the edges of the game. I could only beat the first two levels because I felt like I was missing some info in the third for things around me. Also I'm not sure why the mouse click has to summon blocks, it seems like a button could've been all that's required to summon, so this could be a keyboard only game. The concept is pretty cool where you can summon ice blocks, so maybe another version where the camera is fixed and controls are tweaked could be good.
