This is adorable!
The baby penguin's thought process is just perfect.
It's a shame you didn't have more time for this, some music would have really tied this together.
Adorable art, the thought bubbles are perfect.
Cute :-)
Nice! I really like the thought bubbles. But he moves so slooowly...
Awww cute! :)
It's like you said, rather a story book than a game. I hope the end part is a good end?
I love the thought bubbles, they're great.
@Endurion: Yeah, the baby penguin gets saved by the adult penguins at the end. =P
Wonderful. I was optimistic for the penguin when he thought he could fly a bit. Alas.
nice, I really need the "cute" category to rate your game properly !
That was pretty cute =)
Lovely game ^^ Some sounds/musics would have finished it off.
Great take on the discovery theme, I really like the process of going through the animals. It's like all the "who am I?" except the player knows.
Really wish there was audio, I pictured something like Ecco.
One word: D'awwwwww
Brilliant tutorial on the controls! Besides the cute animation, the scribbled drawings cleverly gave me hints of what to do. I mistook the glyphs for "Z" and "X" for some sort of drawing. I got stuck at the first big creature underwater who ate me twice. I didn't try a third time, because neither z nor x seemed to get me out of the pond or out of the creature's mouth. I missed something. Also, the cute animation could be larger. While the character waddled across the screen, I got impatient. When I restarted from the beginning (hoping instead to restart just that screen), I got very impatient. Yet altogether, it's charming! I hope next time to _play_ as this adorable, pre-literate penguin.
Liked the thought bubbles. Leopard seals are mean.
