The art and vibes are so nice, It would be cool to see a completed version!

Hey, lovely game that uses the theme perfectly! Congrats on building this. I've got stuck on a jump on a second level (or third) not sure where the ice is right next to the jump point. Some things I'd improve upon : 

  • add a sound and visual effect when the ray is hitting the ice. It could be drops of water coming down so the player knows that the reflection is doing something to the ice
  • think the jump needs some minor tweaks as it currently feels a bit off. I don't know what it is, but after playing enough Mario and other platformers there is a certain expectation I think from them :) 
  • I see you used godot for this. Linking this video for future so you can add the web version of the game :) 
    Again, well done on use of theme and building this!

Hey! Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback !

You're absolutely right about the sound and visual effects. We simply ran out of time during development and couldn’t add them before release, but they’re definitely planned for upcoming updates. The idea of water drops as feedback when the ray hits the ice is actually a great suggestion!

Regarding the jump on the second (or third) level : yes, we noticed that issue as well, but unfortunately only after release. It turns out it’s related to a gravity problem that affects that specific section. We’ve since uploaded a finishable version of the game on GitHub where this is fixed :D

And about the web export : We were honestly really disappointed about that too! We developed the game using Godot 4.6 with C#, and sadly web export isn’t supported in that setup :'d

Cute platformer game that implements the jam's theme completely ✨
The chara design is also very cute.
Well done 🌈😊

Had fun playing till the end! Couldn't beat the jam version, but I checked the updated one. Very cute cutscene at the start! We were thinking about something similar but didn't have time. The art and story are very nice, and music gave this mysterious vibe. Very cool!

Developer

Hello ! Thanks a lot for playing it all the way through, and for check the update version :D

Glad you liked the opening cutscene! It's funny you had a similar idea ^^

Thanks again !

Great opening cutscene and very fun game! Had to stop playing because I could not jump high enough from one of the icicles. 

Developer

Hello! Thanks for playing our game! Yes, we’ve noticed that the jump is impossible due to a gravity issue ._.

We’d love for you to check it out and let us know what you think!

The start cut scene was gorgeous, the puzzles were clever, I had one of those “ahhh of course” moment when I realized that I could make the ray reflect.

I played until I was stopped because of an impossible jump unfortunately…

Developer

Besides making it so cute, you also added so many mechanics! I thoroughly enjoyed playing and finishing it; it was great. I would be very happy if you took a look at our game as well :3

Developer

Hi! We’re so happy you were able to finish the level! Our team couldn't finish it due to a small bug, so we actually believed it was unbeatable :p. I’ll check out your game later if I have the time!

I loved the storyline and I see the vision! Curious how this would develop over more time. 

Developer(+1)

Hi! Thanks for the feedback! We’ll likely update the project after the jam’s ranking period to fix some level bugs, add an ending, and include some small flash effects for the ray!

We’re also thinking about adding a new level with more mechanics in the future :D
