Okay, so this was originally a compo submission, so everything was done by one person, however I had to work during the compo time and on Sunday morning I woke up sick and ended up aiming for the Jam.
Feedback is always appreciated! :3
Note: I will likely be doing a post-jam version with narrated story, better art sound effects, and slightly better character collision. Oh and maybe a boss level.

The controls could use a little tweaking as they feel quite unprecise by now...
The graphics are really cool, especially the tail(s) of light that follow the player - only the platform and floor/wall would look better if they had some sort of texture.
The music is very cool and relaxing and doesn`t start to annoy while playing, which is nice ;)
Good job!
I struggled a bit with the keyboard controls on the levels where you need to jump and switch quickly. Then I remapped my xbox controller to the keyboard which made it much easier (the controller didn't work natively running in Wine).
The green platforms used as steps out of water were a bit sticky sometimes.
I'm sorry to hear you were sick, by the way - I hope you feel better now! Well done on still managing to get an entry in.
The graphics are simple, but well made and fit perfectly with the concept of the game. Audio really helps set the mood, but it starts to get somehow annoying whe you play too much on the same level, adding some variation would help, but keep the ambient style! ;D
Gamepad is a must to play this game, and feels more comfortable. Controls work nicely and the transition is really a nice concept, though sometimes jumping from water into ice is a but frustrating. :P
Overall, good work there! :)
