The ice blocks are melting and can't stop moving. And of course, penguins are also birds :)

Great concept!

Absolutely adorable penguin, great art, though pretty hard to tell where the ice floe is under your feet. Overall though an enjoyable experience.

I think you have a great concept here and some lovely art and sound but as others have pointed out It is REALLY HARD it would be good to have it easy to start so the player can get a hang of the controls first. This also helps engagement because people are more likely to put it down if they can’t get very far within the first few minutes

other than that great job!

Thanks for the comment, you are completely rigth. I considered making a little tutorial at first, but I finally run out of time. 

Glad you like it besides it, thanks for playing!

man the music sounds great it was a good motivation to not fall in the water but it’s HARD. what is your highscore? the art is great.

Hey, thanks for playing!

And yeah, I know the game it's pretty difficult, I thought of implementing a softer difficulty curve, but I run out of time so I let it be a "hardcore" experience. (I sopose it's hard to survive in the meliting artic) ~(˘▾˘~)

About my highscore, I once reached 53 points playing whith a controller. Playing whith the keyboard I barely reach 20.

I loved the look and SFX of the game, I had a tough difficulty curve with some tough jump right from the start. I could only play on keyboard so maybe was harder than on controller as you suggested.

Was that rubbish in the sea? I let my Penguin go for a bit and he ended up in a heap of stuff lol

Yep, actual sea is full of rubbish, trying to let it know...

Thanks for playing!
