How did you/your team interpret the theme?
I decided to create a simple puzzle platformer by allowing the player character to change into different forms when they are close to heat / cold source in the stage

How was your/your team's experience in this jam?
Quite fun, compared to the previous jam, the two weeks time limit is definitely more relaxing and allowing more time to explore the ideas

Definitely one of my favorite games for this jam! I think it's worth turning into a full game. Really enjoyed the spritework, level design and gameplay.

There are a few (mostly minor) shortcomings:
- The game does not utilize its character changing system to the full potential I think. The levels often felt like "play as a slime, then as a cloud, then as an ice cube". Adding more interaction between the modes would improve the puzzle aspect of the game
- Tileset looks subpar compared to character sprites
- The background would look better with parallax effect
- Character transitions felt a bit too slow

A very nice puzzle platformer; this is actually what I had in mind when I started doing my game but this is definitely better executed so I am a little jealous. Absolutely beautiful level design, very fun to play. This game is in my top 3.

And I never expected my game to be in someone's top 3, so thank you very much~

A web version would be nice for non-Windows people.

Ah, sorry about that. Wasn't able to build a web version earlier and I was running out of time~
