How does your game represent "Slick"?
Slick means having a smooth surface, so i made the game about skating on ice many smooth surfaces :D

The ice sheet physics are amazing and the skating is fun!  Sadly I don't think the gameplay is able to quite do those justice, since the safest strat is just to usually stand completely still and let all the goblins try to come to you.  You also seem to always start pointed straight towards a huge patch of water.  I think a reason to move, like having to find snowballs on the map, and maybe something to make skating a bit more forgiving like a air dash or something, would go a long way.

I must have gotten some sort of glitch because I couldn't turn. Everything else seemed to work though, and it was fun to knock the goblins into the water with snowballs. Nice work!

Tons of nice little graphics touches in this, really charming.

There's some real cool mechanical stuff going on in here with the ice cutting and even just the snow trails. There's a lot of flavor added that helps everything visually feel really good.

Good game. I like the art of it. The controls were complicated for me though

Really cool game! I love the ice skating/cutting mechanic. It took me a few attempts to get the hang of the controls but once I did it felt super slick and fun to just skate and jump around.

I think there's one big issue with this game that I think is worth pointing out - you're actually  disincentivized to skate around. Since you're destroy the stage as you move around, he best strategy seems to be to stand still and let the goblins come to you. Maybe consider making it so goblins spawn randomly around the map and  only come to attack you once you're within a certain range, that way you're incentivized to skate around the map to actually find the goblins.

Otherwise super slick game, well done!

i love goblins!!

Sooo slick! Really impressive art and ice systems. I feel like a precision/puzzle platformer might have been better for the gameplay, but the foundation is really solid.

There was a lot of cool things that you have implemented in this game, I particularly liked the ice cutting/smashing and the temporary trail when you move in the snow, very impressive.

I found the character to be a bit hard to control, but that was probably intentional with this type of game :P

Overall really nice work though, good job ^.^

Love the art style and the ice breaking mechanic!

Nice to see more goblin representation!

I liked the game, it is very polished. The pixel art is very clean.

It surprised me that you can move/destroy the ice! Very cool!
