Great game!

I like how you dealt with the limitation. And its cool that after a while the ice breaks underneath them, the fact that the hole stays. The difficulty increases really nicely, but it lets you bounce back pretty easily, which is awesome. And the art is nice too. The game needs some music and sound effects, though.

I also made a game that has penguins and uses that kind ofy, so that was a funny coincidence lol.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! I plan to add the music in a post-jam update.

I really enjoyed your game (and so have others — congratulations on your first published game!!) and it's indeed a pleasant surprise to see this coincidence. I find it amusing how I tried to drag the penguin for a few seconds before I realized you're doing it the other way round  🤣

So stressful, really great game though.

It's been a long time since I last saw a game like this. Well Done!😁

It would be awesome with music.

nice game! the gameplay is easy to learn with proceeds with increasing challenges, more penguins to take care of , it is also appropriate with the theme and limitation, overall, I enjoyed playing this, keep it up!

This is a really great use of the limitation! You really can't stop moving!

I felt so bad when the babies fell into the ice holes though! So sad! Great game!

Thank you for your compliments! Don't panic, you can see that penguins can swim and stay safely in water ^ ^

I really liked it! Great concept, good execution, it's just too bad you couldn't put sounds. I killed so many penguins though... :(

Great concept! Eggs spawning on ice blocks annoyed me a bit tho, otherwise really good!.

Thank you, that is a great suggestion! I have updated the game to spawn eggs further away from ice blocks. Glad you like it!
