Thanks for the review! It is probably my oversight that the jump mechanic is not explained thoroughly in the controls. It is definitely tricky to get a hold of, and the game draws some inspiration from Getting Over It.

The platforming takes a bit of Super Meat Boy experience to handle without error, but the real game lies after you have a firm grasp on the movement, and you are able to explore and find all sorts of surprises. The platforming + candy canes is honestly a cheap excuse for gameplay, the true gameplay is 'exploration.

The medals indicate a bit of what to work towards, and the hidden ones unlock fairly naturally as you come across some surprises.

Let me know if you end up playing more and get more success, also the candycanes are mostly a distraction, do your best to keep moving up and away from the ice. If you want to see some more of what the game has to offer without the tedious in-between of escaping the ice, try typing "cdhell" or "spufo".

I have a full game planned for the future after I do some other projects, and it is expected to have an actual real enjoyable gameplay loop. This is really just a demo of my skills and setting up a world, the gameplay was really cheated in this, and I don't expect most people to see past that at first glance, and spend the necessary 20 minutes to crack through the shell and see the goods. Perhaps a lot of what makes this more similar to Getting Over It. That's why I added cheat codes haha

I updated the description with some insights provided by your feedback. Thank you again :)
