Very nice game, I feel in some cases the movement speed of the character and the ice do not match. So very often I find the ice melted before I even get to that part of the area.

I sometimes had some difficulty seeing the ice platforms when they were in front of an iceberg, but overall a good game with appealing visuals.

it's a really short game ... idk only 3 lvls ... but it's still a good game , with more work it would be much better, i also like the game scaling and audio

What's good

- I liked the music but a bit more variety would have been nice
- The spacing between the platforms felt good

Can be improved

- The controls could have been nicer - maybe change jump height depending on how long you press and add a little delay when landing so you don't jump immediately again
- The fish boost wasn't that interesting since it's basically a permanent speed buff. Maybe make it a one time use thing with it's own button.
- The platforms need more contrast to the background.
- Maybe remove the shiny effect on the platforms and use a 9-patch instead. Seemless strechting!

Basically there are a lot of things that can be improved an that's great. You made something, now be proud and learn from it. Good job on the entry - Anudin

The music really made the game for me, it felt exciting and fun. The way the theme was incorporated was nice but pretty straightforward I would have liked to see some puzzlelike things were it' the other way around maybe you have to wait until a slope has molten enough to be the right shape something like that. Overall a nice little platformer, I liked the way the penguin controlled but it could use some more to it.

That ending music though! Nice take on the theme.

That music is epic and the game is fun and exciting. The visual side is good too but can use some more polish. Good job.

This is very short and simple, but it gets so much right ! The difficulty curve and mechanics are very intuitive and varied, every level really is different. Graphics are very cute and efficient, and serve the gameplay perfectly. I'm really surprised by how much I like this submission after playing it, I don't why but it put a smile on my face :) good job !

This was a fun play, as well as nice take on the theme. As the comment above it was short, wish it was longer cause it was fun, but limits to how much one can do during the Jam, considering that it's great C:
Keep up the good work ^^b
