I loved this game, the background and music go so well together to make a calming atmosphere and the gameplay was fun too!

Developer

Thanks you :)

Victory :D I like the concept and implementation but tbh I almost quit because I didn't catch the instruction (black text at the bottom in the beginning) and didn't know how to spawn penguins. Kept clicking on them and nothing happened.

After I found out how to play, I started to have fun :) GJ!

Developer

Yes, the tutorial could be more visible and complete. I’m glad you’re enjoying the game :)

Cool game. Loved the art style and color palette. It's more a calming soothing game than challenging to me. But pingus add a nice touch. Since the tone is so calming the challenge of building the iceberg becomes kinda tense. I didn't get the theme much. But the art, tone of the game, and the use of a challenging iceberg collection against the contrast of a serene atmosphere was wonderful. Straight forward and enjoyed it.

Developer

Thanks, yes the theme is not clearly defined here. We tried to have multiple discrete references of the theme, but I understand that it is not very clear.

Loved the game, Idea was unique although the theme 3..2..1 didn't feel that impactful. I think there should've been more ice and a way to rebuild breaking ice. Either way, Good Job!

Developer

Thanks I’m glad that you like it We tried to strike a balance between difficulty, fun and frustration. Not so easy. I understand that the game does not exactly fit the theme, in fact we tried to have a reference to the theme in many places: 3 minutes to finish the game, 3 types of Pingus, 3 shapes for ice blocks, 3 seconds for the cloud etc.

I loved the concept and was devastated every time I lost a pingu. I felt that the frequency which ice blocks appeared was too slow in comparison to the frequency that the cloud appeared. Otherwise, this was overall a really cute and unique game!

Developer

I’m glad you like it, in fact the idea is to create stress in order to force you to find strategies.

Nice work! Unfortunately for Pingus, I am not good at building icebergs. I love the setting and the overall vibe of this one. The background art in particular is really nice and sets a great mood in combination with the music.

I found the gameplay mechanics pretty clear, but the strategy element wasn't as clear to me. Sometimes it felt like it was a bit arbitrary where I decided to put things. I also think the cloud mechanic could be tweaked a bit, because I kept missing the window and then would just kinda be sitting there waiting for the next one (though I understand this mechanic is partly to adhere to the theme).

Great work overall! Probably the silliest game I've played so far :)

Developer

Thank you! Sometimes chance gives you a rest, sometimes it’s a nightmar to manages all those Pingus ^^’.

This game stressed me out in a good way, the eerie sound the cracking ice,, my penguins falling off.
Had me hooked until I beat it

Well done.

Developer

I’m glade that you like it!

Very nice game! It gets really challenging later in the runs. I wish something would happen when you click on the seagulls :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks it was plan but not enough time for this :/

Submitted(+2)

This is a nice game! The lack of ice blocks makes it really challenging, but still possible. Great job to you and your team!

Developer

Thanks :)
