About Gelatino
Gelatino puts you in charge of something that melts. The popsicle swings through sunlit levels, and the ice cubes along the way are what keep it whole while the heat works against it. Traps and hot ground end a run quickly, so the route you pick matters as much as the timing of the swing.
It is a portrait game with a single input, which suits the swinging. You commit to a line and then find out whether it was the right one. The pressure comes from the melting rather than from a clock, so even a careful run has a reason to keep moving.
How to play
- Swing the popsicle through the level.
- Collect the ice cubes to keep it from melting.
- Stay clear of the traps and the heat.

Tips
- Look at where the next cold spot is before you swing, not after.
- Speed is not free here. A fast line past the ice cubes leaves nothing to keep the popsicle cool.
