What a relaxing platformer! At first I thought landing was what ran down your meter because you were losing water from the impact, so a short hop would have helped, but I think its just a time limit. I also found myself slipping off narrow platforms a few times. Very nice animation though and starts with a good challenge for people who have played platformers before.

Loved the art style and audio was amazing! Liked playing it as well, was having a hard time completing anything though, but I guess it was just me not really understanding the jumping.

Love a good platformer! There is a slight learning curve to the jump arc/momentum, probably due to everyone being used to controlling a certain plumber haha. But once you get the hang of it, the game controls well and has quite a bit of content.

I think the difficulty hits a good median point between brutal and too easy, but I think you _could_ afford to make it more punishing.

Good job!

Good classic platformer. Sometimes a drop slides along the edge of the platform and falls, and I still don’t understand if this is a bug or a feature.

@ternox Thanks for playing. We think the slippery component to prevent clipping on the blocks was turned up a little high looking to fix this is our post-jam version. Thanks for the Comment!

There's a lot of charm here with the hazard/sprite animations and their emotive speech boxes :speech_balloon: The heat+liquid=evaporation is a good use of the theme and together with the "close valves then rescue" mechanic makes for a very enjoyable game.

Pretty fun. The audio is good and the graphics are nice.

My only critique would be that the resolution of certain assets are mismatched. But other than that, good job!
