Cool. Liked playing the game. It was fun and too hard for me :) Simple and good execution
Thank you
Finished it! We start with the good: music never overstays it's welcome, the levels are short and well designed with the movement system in mind and i think the penguin is pretty cute. HOWEVER, i am not a fan of how i'm not really able to "adjust" the movement as well as i would have wanted. you slide a fixed distance, i think? and i cant just nudge it to avoid obstacles. With some improved movement the current levels might become easier but it would also allow you to make difficult leves that still feel really rewarding to clear. Overall? It was fine, and i like the concept, but could have been a little tighter. The death counter was something i wish i had added to my own game, and i liked that it tracked the amount of times i messed up. Good work regardless and good luck with the jam!
Thank you for the feedback! (also I will tell that there is a fixed distance on the slide)
The sliding of the character made the game pretty difficult, but if that was what you were going for, I liked how it fit the concept. I'm just not good enough with WASD to play it so didn't get very far, but really liked the concept and the penguin character.
nice game but realy hard and way to ice
but good job becose its made in scratch
You had me from the intro music and transitions. Moving the penguin around was frustratingly fun :) I’m glad you implemented quick respawns too. I was only able to make it to room 2 (Dance floor) before I raged quit lol. Altogether a really fun, silly game :D Great entry and goodluck with the rest of the jam!
Thanks for the feedback also by the way the quick respawn was definitely a good decision I made and not me being lazy.
Nice and fun concept. Was surprised at first because I saw the level as a side view, not top down. So my penguin was floating in the air. I quit at 3, but that was fun. Well-made game.
Thank you! (p.s. I see what you mean when you first saw the game lol)
Wooo! That was some Super Meat Boy level of precision ice skating. I almost rage quit but I'm glad I didn't because I unlocked something very dear to my heart. Great job! I'm sure there will be plenty of games with similar-ish mechanics entered, however these levels were crafted superbly to put the mechanics to exceptional use. Perfect scope and execution.
Thank you, I happy to hear that the levels weren't to hard or to easy. Also I hope you enjoy the super secret extra game content.
I loved the sillyness of this game! You made me laugh, It was pretty fun too
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that!
You would think a penguin would be better at ice skating.. I quit on 6th room with 92 deaths.. lol Everything was good but me.. Great Job..
This pinquin is wearing orange socks, also thank you.
loved it. pretty hard, but it was fun. i got the hat too.
Good job on getting the hat and thank you for playing my game!
