The art was amazing! Really liked the slide mechanic, but I felt the arrows were a bit too fast and I think I would've liked to see some invincibility frames since I got knocked into multiple obstacles and died lol. Great job!

Cute platformer! I love the sliding mechanic. I wish it had more levels though.

I like the lighting effect and the slime movement. Good work! The levels are quite hard at first but I managed to get through after 2 deaths

Movement was solid and it was genuinely satisfying to just slide around.

Nice game! The basic platforming mechanics feel nice and smooth, and sliding is a joy. Artistically, although the art is a little bit basic, it's cute and unique, and you make good use of squash and stretch/particle effects. The pyro slime is very cute, and the way you have to pick up logs to "refuel" is fun. My biggest complaint is that the arrow-shooters blend in a little bit with the rest of the background, and I wish there was a little more feedback to the player when you do get damaged. Otherwise, a very solid platformer with good presentation, nice job!
Oh, and it's a little short, but it's a jam game so I'll give you a pass. Maybe make a full version with more levels?

This was great! I love the slime. And the graphics in general. The controls fit well with the level design, but the arrow knock back was a little strong. I would _love_ to see this expanded with more levels. Well done.

Good Job! I feel the view is too restricting. Would like to see a bit more of where I'm going.

I played your game on stream, there were some neat details I appreciated like how the snow accumulated and it drained your health, but there didn't seem to be a way to finish level 2, also you could fall off the bottom of the screen and that did not seem intended.

This'd be fun with the controls / movment of the main character tightened up , especially around the sliding/crouch and edges of platforms.

For the platform jumping, the slime guy wouldn't quite make a jump, and get caught on the corner / edge of the platform, and with the crouch/slide, sometimes you'll get stuck half-way,and not be able to move.

A fun and very well made little platformer. I love the music and visual style. The difficulty was too high for me, but I am not usually good at this kind of games. Overall is this a pretty good jam game. Well done.
