Hi! This looks like a cool game, but for some reason, I can't play it in the browser! So if it is possible, maybe a downloadable would be good? :) (You can still upload new versions during voting.)

The visuals look pretty good, though, and so do the puzzles and the concept! :)

No problem! I've added a downloadable version for you to try :)
I'm still relatively new to creating executable builds so performance may be on the slow side. Sorry.

Don't worry, everything is working okay! :)

The puzzles are really interesting and complex, lol. I think the concept is also unique which adds to the complexity of the puzzles! (I think it's where for each penguin, every time you slide you can only slide one less block of distance than the last? And you can't cross the gray lines, either.) So this is an interesting game! :) The 3D UI also adds to the visuals, too, and the audio is pleasant, too. Only feedback is that maybe you can add more features to the game and more puzzles! :) Also I wonder where the undo button is (I just jumped into the game immediately, forgive me if it's somewhere obvious, lol).

Thanks for playing. And thanks for the suggestions :)

The history buttons (undo, reset, redo) are the three buttons at the bottom. If you're playing the windows version and can't see  it, maybe try resizing the window.

this is really cute and fits the puzzle category very well ! I could not understand what the darker squares meant, those did seems to change anything ? I) might have missed a bubble though as i could not get back to the first cube bubble even on restart.

At first i thought because of the theme that i have to slide until i collide with a dark side (a mechanic very often seen with the ice theme), so i feel like the theme while looking really good, is not a good match with your gameplay.

Overall really good quality game ! very well polished and works well :) I personally just did not go past level 4 as i did not enjoy the mechanic so much.

Hi Nino. Thanks for playing and for the feedback :) 

The darker squares are meant to be gaps in the ice. You can slide over them but you can not land in them. I'll have to think of a way to better show it. Thanks for highlighting it :)

I get your point about the slide mechanic being different from other slider type games. I wanted to try and create a more complex logic puzzle rather than a straight up slide puzzle. So instead of just a single step to reach a target (as with most slider games), you need multiple slides to reach the target.

Thanks again for the feedback!
