Ah, good old programmer art! :)
Pickups are cool and I like the idea of those elemental forces fighting each other.

The twist where you have to avoid the ground is a great mechanic. Nice use of powerups too. Just wish it had some music!

My web host randomly went offline. It looks like everything is back to normal now. Sorry for the trouble.

Quite oddly this reminded me of the breakout games with power-ups, like DX Ball, but in a platform environment. I think it's a really good start! The power-ups arrived just as I started to get bored of the current mechanic which was very nice. Continue in that direction!

It's certainly hard, but the implementation of powerups makes it addictive. Good work.

This was really fun. The frozen ground seemed more intimidating than it really was, and I almost felt relieved seeing the big enemies because, even though their shots did way more damage, they were easier to dodge and didn't freeze ground. Enemy health bars would have been nice, as would knowing beforehand that the healing powerup was a full heal. Overall, one of the better entries I've seen.
