This was fun! I can definitely see the mentioned ultimate chicken horse influence that you mentioned, but having enemies you have to defeat with each platform placed is a fun twist to convert this into a 1 player game. One thing that could help with the difficultly is to allow your fire breath to block projectiles too, so it could be used defensively or offensively. Regardless, that fire breath was hilarious and overall I love the theming of a fire breathing penguin!
