That's a very very good game! Really enjoyed this one, very polished platforming and execution overall! Would love to see a full version of this with multiple levels and more abilities!

Really nice complete feeling game. I replayed it a second time because I couldn’t figure out how to solve this room:

Since the enemy is there I was trying to freeze it and push it into the bounce pad thing. I did eventually figure out the more simple solution of just holding space, lol.

Thanks for playing!! Lol yeah we talked about implementing “ice block pushing” and decided it was out of scope because we’re using custom physics hehe. Glad you figured it out anyway!

Super well designed game all around and the different spells have a lot of synergy and could absolutely be used together in even more cool ways, especially the speed booster and the freeze ray one. Whole game felt great to play and was concise and fun.

Thanks so much for playing! On an insane unrelated note, I recognized your name because I sent your video "Alright (Kendrick Lamar) - Super Mario RPG (SNES) Legend of the Seven Stars" in the discord server I have with the other developers of our game like a week before the jam. What a small world!

Very fun game, i love the idea and the different gem powers are cool to play around with. Love art and music too. Very nice :)

Super cool, and excellent level design! Love the little tutorials after each new gem, and having to combine them in different ways. My favorite moment was when you needed to combine ice and fire to jump from ice blocks onto more ice blocks above.

Other game design features I appreciated were the generous hitboxes, and how forgiving the swinging mechanic was. The only thing that took some getting used to was the looping gems, like having your double jump ability switch buttons back and forth, or accidentally using the speed gem and running off a cliff lmao.

Really well polished game! However, the controls are a little inconvenient with only keyboard

This is very well put together. The platforming feels good, the gems are clever and diverse in how they are used, and it's really gratifying when solving a problem that requires using two together. Very well made, good job.
