Help Juicy, the algae from Antarctica, escaping his dissolving endless iceberg as hostile organisms and flamable gasses are freed from their frozen tomb.WASD/Arrows to move - SPACE to attack - E to pickup power-ups - Q to use the dash power-up. Push Juicy against an ice block to latch him onto it. When Juicy is latched onto an ice block, press Space to slide upwards!Red ice blocks will dissapear after 13 seconds. An enemy or a new ice block MAY appear in its place.Reach the golden wind rose to escape the stage. If there is no way to reach it, wait for the to change, but who knows what else might appear.

My scores were 50, 60, and 30. I wasn’t able to reach the golden wind rose. I suspect there’s an easier way to play it, I was frantically pressing W and space to try to jump and climb upward. Seems like it could be a fun game, maybe an easier intro level to help players learn the basics. Congrats on submitting, nice job

Next time will go smoother :)\nYes there are a couple of play-styles one can discover. Let’s just say that i played into not only the fear for the number 13 but also that this fear comes from a matter of luck: waiting for the 13 or Jumping into it might pay off.
\nThank you again for playing!

\nI didn’t really get the hang of what to do to progress. Was the yellow triangle pointing towards where I should be aiming for?
\nI don’t think I ever got as far as the golden wind

\nIt is an endless survival game. The objective is just to try better your score.

I was unable to progress very high, really at all, but I could see that with dedicated practice and the reflexes of a teenage mutant ninja coder I could succeed at this awesome game! I few times I got up a ways by moving randomly, just spamming the movements and jump lol, but if I moved with intent I never had the skill to get anywhere and left feeling like the game was just way too difficult, fast, and complex for me to enjoy but looks super fun for someone else who can think 10x faster than this old gamer! makes me wonder - how fun would a slowmo mode be? =) I would love if the entire game ran at 50% speed hahaha but I feel the same way about life in general. awesome work.

I run out of time for further tweaking the difficulty unfortunately.\nNext time it will go better!

\nI could never get very far as the yellow blobs got me every time. Was also not sure where I was suppose to go our how to get there with the changing levels. It felt like I would make 2 steps forward and then 1 step back.

The golden arrow was leading towards the windrose.\nFor both the high difficulty and the objectives, i should have done a small tutorial. Unfortunatelly, i did not have enough space nor time for that.

Thanks for your submission to js13k!\nI’m sure you’ve worked hard on your game, but I’m not aware of how much time you spent on it, so excuse me if things I mention were in your mind, but got left out in the rush of the month or just because you hit the 13kb limit :)
\nHi! Thank you for the comment and playing the game. Actually it was both the rush and the fact that i’ve reached the 13kb. I’ve identified three major problems with the game:
\nEverything could have been addressed by a tutorial to explain how to latch onto walls, how to track the windrose, ecc. But there was not enough space nor time for it. I should have made less content like more enemies/weapons to make room for the tutorial.\nI’m happy you all liked the graphics. I’m no artist and i was worried my pixel art wasn’t enough.

It’s hard to move, to target or to even finish the first level.\nMost of the time, the exit point is not reachable. I gave up trying without ever reaching level 2. That’s sad.\nThe sound effects are fine, but I would have loved some background music.\nFinally, I felt the link with the theme of the competition was a bit weak. Overall, I think it is a good game that could become great with a few improvements.
