IMPROVED VERSIONS: As I saw some of you liked the game but gave me some feedback I made a new version OUT OF COMPO featuring: · Screen is now adjustable respecting aspect ratio. · Improved ice cube animations (Melting animation) · New mechanic "Recovery": Picofrio revives seconds after death. · Tweaked character movement. · Added 3rd party music from "Gladiator" and "Castlevania Symphony of the Night" respectively to achieve a better mood. · Added animated Background. · Special effects on turtles start acording to music. · Minor block placement.
I hope you enjoy the new features! :D Please tell me if you do!

DISCLAIMER: · Resolution is set to 1920x1080 · Press F11 or "ctrl + mouse wheel" to resize the window. · Use "Visualization > Reduction" in the Safari menu for Mac
Listening to your wishes I made an "After Compo" build using one of my favourite songs from C.SOTN for mood. I hope you like it :) ///////////////
Lore: Our little friend picofrio was once a human prince. One day, an evil snow queen turned him into a bird and usurped the throne, having his beautiful princess enslaved. ///////////////
Gameplay: Picofrío will use the light cauldreons to project his beloved princess' silhouette on a screen. Use Picofrío's ice breath to turn the frost turtles into human-size Ice cubes and reach highest platforms. Good Luck!
The objective is to collect the golden pieces scattered over the level and place them on the correct cauldron.
You can use the ice breath on the turtles to turn them into solid ice and thus use them as platforms.

Great graphics. Using ice breath to turn enemies into platforms is great, and since you can't really "kill" them there's always tension (will that enemy thaw too quickly?) Jumping is a bit floaty.
The game is a bit bland. Also, the start position is absolutely horrible as an introduction. It is way to hard to progress. The freeze mechanic is quite novel, though. But please state that you use spirits from other games. The portals didn't work for me, they didn't warp me trough the level, or are they just for spawning enemies?
Hi Woodecker, I realize now I should have managed resolution better, I will definetly expatiete on it next time! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the issue.
Thanks Dohxis, i'm very glad you liked it! :D
I will definetly include more information about that,try and stop it from keeping being a problem.
I am very happy you really got that detail tigerbyte! :D
I apreaciate your plain dealing Random Abductions. The sprites are actually remade, but I guess they look exactly the same, sorry for that. Portals are portals and should wrap you, you can tell me more about where you are running it so I can try and find out why doesn't it work for you.
Thank you all for your imput, it feels GREAT when someone does enjoy playing oneself's game! :D
The game could certainly use a more carefully crafted level. There is only one route to reach many points, that's problematic because most of the "action" happens in one area of the level, making the rest kind of a "waste of screen". Another issue is that enemies tend to get closer and closer(a byproduct of the freezing mechanic), so later on when reaching the golden piece on the top you have to wait a lot.
Freezing enemies to make platforms is an interesting mechanic. It would be nice to be able to use the freeze attack in mid-air.
Forcing a complete restart when you die seems a bit excessive, since players aren't likely to want to retrieve the first 1 or 2 gold pieces all over again when there's only one specific path to do so.

Screen size can be adjusted by pressing: "ctrl + mousewheel".
In Mac you can use "Visualization -> reduce".
