My grandmother like play this game genre

Very nice game, somehow the unfreezing does not seem to work more than one time in a row :/

Fun take on the match 3 genre, good job :)

I like the idea, and I like the change to the standard bejeweled this brings!

nice sounds) pretty relaxing ticking :) though unfreezing wasn't working all the time for me

Cute, simple but fun game! I did notice a couple of small bugs, like spamming the top row will basically get you free points (maybe could make it 3 or more is a connection instead of 2?) since getting 2 together is pretty common. Like the other commenter mentioned, unfreezing has to be manually pressed on every time.

Bombs that cause freezing instead of fire is really creative! The animations were quite smooth too and I didn't really encounter any jankiness. Good job :)

Game is very simple but works.
I found a bug though.
If you klick an a batch of gems you wnat to remove very quickly it scores as many times as you click on them. :D
I managed to get 23k Points like that.
But overall well executed. Good entry. Keep up the good work.

pretty cool game overall. Around my 3rd playthrough i noticed that if you quickly click on the same shape multiple times, it will result in breaking every other new shape that come from the top of the screen.

Very funny principle, the timer was giving me a lot of pressure :) . Good Job!

The core concept is perfectly in line with the jam theme, and even though its a very straighforward idea it works really well nonetheless! Bombs explosions effectively limit your valid moves, adding a pleasant strategy/managment layer in addition to the reflex times and observation skills necessary to progress in the game.

The game is fun, has the right amount of challenge and does a good job at making you feel the desire to go for another run to further improve your score - I especially appreciated the fact that it keeps track of your best score between runs, and rewards you in case of a new record. My only minor critique is related to the unfreeze function, which feels a bit clunky and makes it really hard to keep pace with the new upcoming bombs.

In a game like this I wouldn't mind some background music, even a short loop, just to create a more immersive experience. But considering the restraints imposed by the jam duration I can see why gameplay mechanics took priority.

Good luck!

I know unfreezing controls don't work too well. If you are at the keyboard the 'z' key will activate the unfreezer and the next click on a frozen piece will unfreeze it.

A cute little match game, some kind of combo move would've been cool but I liked the tactility of deciding where to spend my unfreezes

Not my genre but game is pretty good

I am not much of a puzzle match player, but what you have created here is a solid concept! Nicely done!

Great game :)

Maybe not very innovative, but really decent game. Clicking on "clean ice" every time was little annoying.

Finished my game with descent 910 score, was having problem with bonus unfreeze system, but in general very interesting flip for well known game mechanics! Good job

Good variation on the "match X" gameplay type. Worked out really well. Nice that it requires some tactical thinking of where to unfreeze the fields. One minor nitpick - perhaps a keyboard hint for the unfreeze button directly on screen would help (I did find in the description, but as you can see by the comments not everyone did).

Congrats on this entry. It's polished and fun to play. Pity about the unfreeze function being so hard to use. Considering you have to unfreeze about one item per second to keep up, the unfreezing control is really hard as there is no feedback and it sometimes doesn't respond. It would be better if unfreezing was done automatically when clicking on ice. The match sound is a little annoying.

Other than the rather awkward way of using the unfreezing mechanic, this game is really fun and well polished.

nice twist on the bejeweld. at first i thought ice would grow from where it started, but the random position of next ice makes it really challenging!

the unfrozen button should be accessible with a keyboard shortcut i think, because having to click on it then on the block to unfreeze is quite tedious.

Neat game, I like the more adversarial take on bejeweled. Some good attention to detail on the UI, I love the title screen. Nice work!

Interesting game play which I had misunderstood with the description. a mechanic to break the ice would have made it possible to have longer games but I like the idea of this game

Nice game! Unfreezing doesn't always work. I think it would be better if unfreezing was a toggle, so you could unfreeze more ice without having to click unfreeze icon again and again. A shortcut key would work even batter.
