Very nice game! I had some trouble getting used to the controls, but I eventually got it.
I would suggest using a different jump sound, as the one used here got a little annoying after extended play.
o wow, your game is very well worked. It reminds me of a game from my childhood that I don’t really know what it’s called but it’s a blackberry game
This was a fun little arcade game, nice work! I liked how the challenge worked with the player, since the next platform would only spawn if you got onto the one before (or at least I think that's how it worked!), which made it more fun to try again if I had failed. The little effects, like the platforms dipping a bit when you landed on them, were also good additions, so great work on the game!
Very fun game and really cute art and sound effects :)
It is just me or, was this pretty hard? Why was he slipping on platforms... so frustating.
slipping was part of the “fun” I thought it could be realistic and challenging. If you practice then it’s too easy. Thanks for trying it!
It's really cute! I got a weird bug though, after my fourth or fifth death, platforms stopped appearing... Also, please let me use space to jump, I hate jumping with up :(
Pretty nice game, really like it though from time to time on start the platforms don't spawn and I keep drowning hopelessly and I tried changing the browser too but to no avail.
nice :)
nice :)
Bella chao bella chao! :D
Liked this ,good job!
As a fellow penguin enthusiast, I really like this. As always, it looks, feels, and sounds great!
Concept is really cool this can be more better if this is more polish
at first it was frustrating but ended up really loving how the penguin moves and slides around for the challenge
Graphics look nice, but I couldn't play it as my keyboard doesn't have arrow keys (mini keyboard that requires function key being pressed to use them). Not going to leave a rating as that would be unfair, but just to suggest supporting WASD control scheme in the future.
I added support for WASD, I hope that you can play it now thanks!
Thanks for adding WASD support! I was able to give it a try. I'm not sure why, but I couldn't really get the hang of it. I felt like I could only double jump if I stayed still or did nothing else but press W twice? If I moved at all, I lost my ability to double jump. If I was already double jumping, then I was okay to move left or right. I'm not sure if that was intended but it made it really frustrating.
Aside from that, I could see myself really enjoying this game.
The graphics and theme are fitting to the limitation. I like the music.
Unfortunately, I kept running into a serious bug: the water level would overtake me before the next platform spawned. This makes the game basically unplayable.
Also, the controls could use some refinement.
I was not able to reproduce this, I guess it may be a device/resolution issue? Anyway, thanks for trying.
Cute game. I like how the platforms dip down when you land on them, nice touch!
Cool artstyle, liked the flapping mid air mechanic, maybe a bit tough. Nice:)
8 out of 10 tries the platforms did not spawn. but it looked great and could be a real hit! :D
I dont understand it rarely happens to me, but Ill check. You have to jump on top of the ice blocks and that’s it. thanx!!
Yeah i Did that, and no new came :/ but I really liked it! :D
Aw, it's adorable!
Fun game, but really glitchy, because usually when you land the platforms don't spawn and you need to jump again, but when that doesn't happen it's fun.
