Slide n Burn by justabread

[raw]
made by justabread for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

A fast-paced 2d maze game with about 5 minutes of gameplay :) Slide to your escape from the lava moving forward every ten seconds and cutting off your escape routes, save the three artefacts from being melted and most importantly of all: don't get burned!

The art is so good! I love it!
btw there's a problem with the character: it slides a little bit towards the left when it's still.

Good level design, not too easy, not too hard.

The art was great! Plus, I was weirdly always a big fan of the ice sliding puzzles in pokemon so i love the exploration here. The controls and collision were just a tad off though.

Art was truly amazing, I stared at the finishing screen for so long wishing so badly that I could draw that good. The music was good and after I understood the mechanics the game was simple and fun, although my gripe with it was the player was sliding around a bit too much, I feel like with these puzzles they should move a bit more predictably. Well done, good entry!

Beautiful art and some nice puzzle design! I really got invested into finishing all the levels and getting all items too. Nice job!

The art style is very nice. The movement feels a little off since some objects aren't flat but overall pretty fun

Liked your art! Got all to the end and wanted more. The movement issues were slightly annoying, but predictable so not ruin the game.

Good job!

The gameplay is amazing, sliding mechanics slaps! Very creative way to proceed to the next level. It encourages the player to learn from their mistakes to win. Good job!

Really good graphics! The game was fun, but the main character felt a bit slow. If you want to continue it in a post-jam update, I would suggest some potions that do stuff (for example, they let you go through magic walls) 😄

Great idea and cute art! The gameplay was fun and challenging as well, some levels took a few tries to get to the end. Liked it a lot!

nice puzzle game, great art and music :) i beat all the 6 levels !

-level 5 was the hardest because of the too short time left for the player (even if I understand what i must do, I don't had the 1 seconds that made me escape the lava most of the time. I almost gave up here as I thought it was a lack of balance.)

-and also one note, the character tends to slightly slide by itself to the left

Pros:
- Really cool game, the art fit wells and is nice!
- I really liked the fact you could see where the lava would end up before it did!

Feedback:
- Imo directional arrows should be an option for the controls (instead or in addition to wasd). As a non-qwerty keyboard user, I had to change it to qwerty mode to play :/
- Between the keyboard issue and the fact that the movement is sliding and not walking, I got a bit confused about what I had to do at the start. Some visual indication of the type of movement to expect would have added a lot of clarity (eg the floor made of ice or slime or any slippery stuff instead of grass or the characters being on a sliding object instead of appearing to walk, like some magical skateboard or skis, or on a rolling rock)
- The end of the levels was at bit confusing. Sometimes the rocks appeared on the end path while I was collecting them, sometimes not, and somehow I didn't need to reach to rock path to end the level, collecting the third rock would suffice - but sometimes immediately, sometimes I could slide a bit even after collecting the third

Neat puzzle game, was able to beat it with all the collectibles. Like @roroto-sic I found the fifth level to be the hardest but not *too* hard for me, not that I'm complaining that level 6 was easier :D Maybe it's good to have a little breather level after a hard one. I really liked the bait one level 5 if you press left immediately, that's some good level design! Also the art is very cute (especially the ending screen :D)

That was a nice experience, the difficulty is perfect I think not too hard, not too easy.

Super neat art style as well :D

Controls were a bit funky, but maybe it happens on Firefox only? It took a while for the character to move after pressing a key, which made playing a bit difficult given you are seconds away from the lava tongue! But I could play for a while and it was fun X)

Once upon a time you play a smooth game, this is one of those. 👍
