I did 73.21 🥳, but best score is still 82 seconds by @Scuuter.

What is considered a good time? I was able to get 12.13 Seconds but that does not seem too good.  It took me a few play throughs to figure out the mechanics but once I noticed the left and right force(indicated by the purple particles) I was able to figure out the controls.  If it was not for the darn red guy I could do much better lol.  Nice game and great job getting your game finished and uploaded on time.

Thank you, for me 30 seconds is a good time, but @Scuuter said I did 82 seconds and saw the end of the map. Yeah darn red soul is ruthless, I told him to take it easy but did not listened to me lol.

Solid gameplay. The controls are a little hard to get used to but work great when you get a grasp of them. The most unique entry I've seen. Lacks a little in the art and sound departments.

Thanks for your comment, yes because I lack art and sound producing. Maybe I need to find a partner to create the artistic part.

The game its really hard, and i could play for very longer! Maybe in the right hands could be a good speedrun game.

Nice colors and aesthetics!

Definitely a strange control scheme, but i can see people getting very good at it, which can be interesting to watch

Nice game, but hard for me.

Nice game! More addictive than I expected haha. But I'm very much a noob, my max was 22 seconds after a lot of tries.

Nice! Is the terrain a procedural noise mesh? That was my solution for the Galaxy Plague in our game.

Yes it is, but because of the high score requirement I give the same seed every time.

I think it is okay to randomize world in "High score" games.

Yes, it makes it less "fair", but increases replayability. And also it's still testing player's skill and ability to adapt their strategy to random.


If you don't randomize world in any way, than sooner or later there will be the only "solution" to your game and there will be no competition for high score

The voting ends in 3 days, I don't think there will be an only solution soon :). Like I said, I can add one line of code after the voting to randomize, there are lots of things to be done for this game, this is only the jam version.

The end of map was quite unexpected :)

Sad there is no leaderboard to compare my score. I've got around 82 seconds

Developer

Yes you should stay inside the ices to keep escaping :), 82 seconds is a great score!
