Level 17 is so far my hardest level (I'm stuck there as I'm typing this.) The top moving platform is so hard to time with the small one under it and the jumping and fluid movements. Along with the platform you have to go up to get to said small moving platform, it's curved just right that you get stuck and the timing gets even more off. Some of the other levels were easy to beat and others worse, but so far, from my experience, Level 17 is the most infuriating one I've died on, and am still dying on it.

But other than what I've said above, this is a really amazing game! I love it and the ice cube itself. The face on it makes me kinda sad about having to forcefully kill it when I screw something up.

AlamyrJunior responds:

haha love your feedback! there are some challenging levels in the game, its all about timming in this level, just breath and wait for the right time to jump =]

I'm happy that you comment about the ice cube, he's a happy cube and have a lot of lives, so don't worry to kill him sometimes!

Thanks for the rating *_*

Although the idea is great and the game is very well made, the level design doesn't make a lot of sense, some levels are easier than the ones before them. Anyway, cool game, dude (no pun intended).

AlamyrJunior responds:

Hi Fran, thanks for your feedback, I tried to not let all levels so hard in sequence, but I do have to get better on the level design, that's my first game, so I'm learning a lot from it and I will try to get better =]

see ya!

Experienced the same problem as the people below, but I really like this, and I'm sure you'll be able to correct the issue.

Great job!

AlamyrJunior responds:

Thanks for the feedback, Marbles23! I correct it and some other bugs! Try it now =]

I enjoyed the game, but I only got up to level 27 because the ice cube got stuck on one of the wooden ramps. This has happened several times in past levels, but in the others ones, I managed to beat the levels by jumping after getting stuck. However, I can't jump to get around this without getting killed.

I've found other problems and concerns:
- I've tried going back to the menu and loading the game, but it doesn't fix the problem always. For example, when I started level 27 again, I got stuck on a different board and the death animation went from an explosion of icy squares to just a single small square floating until the ice cube came back.
- It seems like you throw the player into the levels without giving them much of a chance to react. I would've suggested making the levels wider, just enough to give a little "runway" for the player before they get the level. It wouldn't even have to be that long. Half an inch perhaps?
- On level 20, the cube hit the soda cup and didn't explode. It just stayed there. I tried it again later and it didn't happen again.

I do like the cuteness of the game as well as the challenge. I look forward to your next project. Good luck!

AlamyrJunior responds:

Thank you very much for your feedback, Plasmarift!
That's my first game so I have a lot to learn yet!

I'll correct these bugs as soon as possible( I'm already correcting the places where the ice is getting stucked), I agree with you that is needed more time to the player react, I'm thinking about make the ice cube stop for a half sec (or less) in the beggining of the levels, so the player can see what's going on...

I'm already thinking about the next projects but I want to launch this one on mobile, refine the game and correct the bugs before start the next game.
Thank you again! =]
