HOT/COLD by Axelhein

made by Axelhein for LD26 (COMPO)

In the game, you play as man who is trapped in an alternate dimension. To get out he must find all of the crystals that holds the dimension together. This will free him, but also make the dimension very unstable.

The crystals are very hot and their heat changes the color of what you see the closer you get to them.

I LOVE the art aesthetic in this! Though I must say the jumping was annoying.. the "short" jump was too easy to active when I wanted the "high" jump, and I felt like it was too short.. The controls made me die prematurely several times.

Great application of the theme though!

Really great art style. Jumping while running is a bit buggy. On the other hand, I had fun learning and beating the levels.

Pretty cool. I have a small issue with lag when jumping, but other than that, it was pretty darn fun!

I thought the controls were fine. Pretty challenging, good mechanic.

So good graphics, sound, game play. The only thing I did find need improvement is the jumping mechanics which glitched out on me.

I think this game was really really hard and made me very mad a lot of times. Therefore, you did a very very good job at it.
I literally took 2 hours to beat it.

Plus that music is just too cute. :3

This is minimalist, but really hard at the end. I love this two colored graphism, and the music goes well with the game, maybe it's a little bit repetitive. Anyway, I love this game ;)

Nice! Main character looks like a smiling toast and I like that :)

The colour changing mechanic was cool, but it didn't feel like the level design used it much. With some more interesting levels it could be much more fun :) Other than that it seemed pretty solid to me.

Took me moment to realize you can do a long jump. After that it was a blast. Loved the art direction and the controls felt quite good.

Cute little platformer!
Nice game mechanic, but I felt that it wasn't explored as fully as it could have been.
I enjoyed it!

The "The World is Collapsing" level could be made easier by reducing the obstruction by 1 tile. I felt it was too hard. Fun game otherwise :)
