It's simple and fun to play, nice idea and really challenging when the control keys are changed. And my high score is 1490.

For a game made in four hours, this is really great! The first time my controls changed and I immediately fumbled and died, I burst out laughing. Great job! I hope you manage to get the 20 ratings you need because it would be a real shame if you missed out on getting ranked.

Managed to get up to 280 after a few tries!

Nice job for only 4 hours, that's impressive. The controls changes are fun, the randomness on the ice getting pushed back not so much. Also I played on a Azerty keyb and that was even more confusing haha.

Didn't experience any bug!

This is a fun game. But a little bit hard to control

Quite efficient for only 4 hours of development ^^
The draw is cute, the change of gameplay is a little bit frustrating , especially when you're are jumping ahah
otherwise thank you for your game :)

@chtimy Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I tried to get the control change to not change while in the air, definitely planning to make that a feature a post release.

Great challenge! Probably the hardest game I played this time. And first it looked so easy, lol!

Love the sprites and the music is great. I also like the very fast replay loop. Well done! Here's my highscore:

Nice concept, and nice entry.
I initially set my keyboard layout to qwerty… for nothing XD
I like what you've done in 4h. Good job on your entry.
