I enjoyed this, as it had a fairly unique gameplay gimmick compared to the others here. I just wish there was more to it overall, like levels and such. Still, I had fun, and only really ran into one thing worth pointing out:

• There’s a passability bug with at least one of the doors in the ice level.

Nice concept! I too love penguins. Was sad to see it end.

Since you have a bit more of a pixel-y style going on, I would suggest finding different facesets or pixelating them for the finished version. :)

This is a fun, simple game with a mechanic that is kinda unique for a game made with RPG Maker.

Hitting the rocks is simple and fun enough. The mazes are simple and short enough too. There's even some cool hidden rewards for going out of your way before proceeding to the next level. I like the custom Harold sprite, and the BGM is retro goodness. Sliding ice puzzle with penguins was cute.

I wish there were more sound effects in the game. The silence on the menus is a little off-putting and makes it hard to properly calibrate the sound - especially since the BGM drowns out much of the other sound in the game by default. I'm also mixed on the jumps - I like that they are pretty easy and automatic, but I have to question why they exist in the first place. There's no skill or decision making involved with them, so they're pure visual flair. Not necessarily *bad*, but not sure if they add anything to the experience either.

There's also this one point where you can step on this tile and it triggers the dialog every time. Needs a self switch.

One other noteworthy point: I really liked how in the third stage you have a door you can't go through, but then you have to go further to find an item. I also like how there's a similar hidden item in the first room. I feel like the situation in the third room actually works better as a set up for the exploration concept introduced in the first room; consider switching them up.

Overall this is a solid, short entry. Thank you for the game!

Nice fun little puzzle game. Maybe a little straightforward but fun concept.

Excellence: I like the overall idea, but I feel like the gameplay would have really shone had you done more with breaking rocks than just made them a slower form of movement. Exploding rocks that kill you, switches hidden by rocks, or moving objects trapped between rocks you can set free would have taken this up a notch. Since this is the game's core foundation, try to do more with it that really gets you thinking for the full version.

Combat: None to be seen.

Comedy: Felt a little jilted at times, but you can't not laugh at Oldhar's penguin stash scattered all over a convenience store. They chill. I chill.

Sound: Bangin' tunes all around.

Visuals: Really appreciate the different graphics, especially the custom Harold sprite.

Story: Honestly was a little confusing to follow from my end and just kinda ended (a nasty side effect of being a demo). Is there a prequel or universe this is based on that I'm just not getting?

Your writing is very good, clean, and readable... for as simple as it was, I super enjoyed the way it was written. There were so many rocks though! Haha great job for what it was :)

Fun little prototype! Would have loved to see more, but the bumpin' music and quick gameplay made it fun while it lasted. I like how you worked in Haroldverse references as well.

For some reason, intentional or not, i can't move harold with arrows or wasd but only mouse input + the z key, this was very jarring to begin with - later in the game however i could.

Other than that any rock smashing enthusiasts better pick this one up right away!

The sprite for harold is incredibly colourful and cute.

Got to vibe with some penguins and just wondering what is behind that door.

I love the Harold sprite! Satisfying to smash the obstacles with my hammer. Need to know what's going to be behind that door in the finished version!

This was a fun game! Please finish it off and release it! I eagerly await the finished version with more levels.

Harold used ROCK SMASH

I Hammered the HECK out of them Rocks!

The rocks! I FOUGHT THEM AND WON! It was a simple fight. 

The intro was amusing.

I liked the music here quite a bit. It felt peppy and made me want to hit them rocks.

PENGUINS! I mean, yes, the visuals worked very well with the narrative, simple as it was.  I liked the cold part the best.

That was definitely a story of some kind! Finding OGH is definitely a story worth telling.

Short but sweet. I had fun. ^_^
