Note: If you are doing the streamed version of the web player, it might take a few seconds for the first level to load. Keep trying the play button every few seconds, it will load eventually and you shouldn't have any more wait times. For the best experience, use the Windows exe if possible.

After LD26 was over, I thought I could have done a lot of things differently, so I gave it another shot and it went much smoother this time.
I added music/sound, a menu and an ending. All things my last game were lacking. I hope you all have as much fun playing it as I did making it!
Took a long while to load up..., but well worth it! Had a good time playing this, despite the fact that it took some time to learn what I was doing! Pretty good use of the theme!
I really like this game! I actually was surprised that you had a winter themed level, and even more so a volcanic one. Good job, and definitely 5/5. I had a fun time playing it, although it was frustrating when I died. The checkpoints were nice though.
I really enjoyed the different seed mechanics. They made the game-play varied and very interesting. The platforming engine felt nice and solid. The only problem I had was enemy projectiles knocking me back really far.
The graphics where very nice and the sound works well with the game.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I've just uploaded a video playthrough on Vimeo (link up at the top). I know the loading time is long so I'd like to give people an alternative way of viewing the game if they don't have a Windows machine. Give it about ~30 min as of this post, it's still being processed by the site :)
@ddionisio: It's the sprites. They're pretty inefficient. I am new to 2DToolkit and had some issues using the Sprite Batcher. I'm going through right now and trying to optimize things so everything will load smooth. Right now every sprite is its own object, which is a HORRIBLE way to do things!
The music is a bit loud. Other than that, you have a pretty fun platformer here, with shades of A Boy and His Blob; after I cleared the first area, though, it returned a "fatal content error" and just stopped.

Great job!
I'm curious, what could be taking so long to load the game? Are you using asset bundle or there's just plenty of resources to load?
