Controls: wasd or xbox controller, for leap use Q or Right trigger

The game can be quite hard, but there is not to far to the top, luckily there are health pickups to aid you, but beware of running out of time because the lava is rising steadily

Loading the web version stalls at about 90% for me.

Fixed the web player, now it works. A lot of trouble and the solution being one tiny selection box :)

Took me some time to get hold of the Q next to projectile mechanic, but when i got that in place the game got much more interesting. I enjoyed it, well done!

I like the idea and implementation of melting mechanics. It's a bit unpleasant to move, but congratulations on finishing the compo!

This is a pretty hard game. Great take on the theme though. I really like the glow of the lava.

Very well put together. Not the biggest fan of frustration and sliding so it was entirely my cup of tea, but it was well done, and the freeze-mode to jump extra far was a great touch. Controlled well with the gamepad too.

The gameplay is simple but interesting, respect - two days is a very short time for such a game

Nice game! The "Q" mechanic is a little hard to control. Maybe it needs an indicator of some kind to know when it can be activated. Otherwise it was fun, even though I couldn't reach the surface.

Wow that was incredibly hard. I couldn't get the hang of how to jump to certain platform and just randomly threw my ice cube at object that sometimes made it jump further up. Worked ok for a while. Nice platform game and I like how the melting affects the game play. Well done!

Very enjoyable, I like the playful atmosphere you created with the fun, simple character, the music and the overall style! The Q mechanic was a little hard to control and understand when you could trigger it, but it still worked. Overall a fun entry which fits the theme!

I made it to the top yay :P

The game is pretty hard even from the start but it is nicely done. I just didn't like the audio of the death, a little too loud.

The jumping controls felt a bit inconsistent, sometimes the jump was higher than expected and sometimes you could cling to walls. Also the Q seemed hard to time right.

Hard controls and I felt pressure all of the place, but then I think it fits well with "Unstable".
