The timed aspect is the worst and best aspect

Personally, I thought that timing it made the thing worse. Otherwise, the artwork was great, it played though nicely, but working against the clock made it so stressful that you couldn't even notice what was going on. And if you could store the warming items until you really needed them, it would make things so much better, becausethe first 2 mints don't have any effect when you're already warm.

Psionic3D responds:

Good points, I didn't want the timing to interfere too much so maybe I should have made it a little slower...oh well, crits taken onboard, Thanks!!

Good, but.....

The time limit thing was way too frustrating. If you don't want to get rid of it, at least make it decrease at a slower rate.

Psionic3D responds:

Might post an update soon, with slower timer which will make it easier, plus other bug fixes that will make it harder lol ;-))

Great visuals but gameplay...

I've been playing this game for a couple of days now and still your timing for most of the parts can be annoying. Especially the pressure and fuse box. The time you give to solve the fuse & pressure box is just too little. For the pressure box, I've managed to solve the puzzle a few times but I only get caught up because of time. Even if you did solve the puzzle for this part, time still ticks because of some steam animation running through the pipes. So when you run out of time, you have to go back to the steam room click the pressure box and do it all over again. So you lose a little body temp. Then when you try your luck again, the pieces are arranged in random, so not only you've got so little time to recognize and figure out the pieces but also you've got so little time to solve it. When you run out of time you go back to the room, lose some body temp and repeat. And I've repeated this a couple of times till I die.

Now for the fuse box, this part also takes some time to figure out. Not everybody here can solve problems quickly, so most ppl would probably take a while to figure out. By the time you figure it out, time runs out and you go back to the room, lose some body temp and try your luck again. And if you keep on doing this w/o any luck you'd also end up dead because of no body temp.

The safe part, like what many said is also tricky and can be annoying too. Perhaps you should give more time for these timely based puzzles.

I don't think this game would suit your typical casual gamer and would require lots of dedication to get through it. Other than that nice job for the visuals.

it was ok

i felt like, especially with the time constraint of freezing that things were not put into perspective well enough to figure everything out without playing the game several times b/c you just know what to do. i think the graphics are well put together and there is a decent storyline. perhaps, especially on things like figuring how to get the one door open, that you should have rooms where you freeze slower. gg overall

Psionic3D responds:

The temperature does fluctuate, in the sewer it goes down faster and in the some of the other rooms much slower...its subtle though ;-)

hmmmm...

i cant get through the mini safe minigame you should have made it easier (no offense)

Psionic3D responds:

move the mouse far away from the dial on the safe part to achieve far more control/accuracy!!
