Simple, but well-executed platforming. You might want to use just one key to interact instead of 'z', 'enter' or 'r'. Also, repeating the intro after every death got pretty old pretty fast - especially given that I died a lot :-)

Yeah I meant to make it go to the mountain room but accidentally had it go to the first one. ): It was too late to fix it, but what I do is just use the quick restart (Press R mid-game) if I mess up early on. As for the single button thing, I never considered that before and might try it post-LD. Thanks for the feedback!

I agree with ladron on the quality. Well-executed, and the theme had a decent tie-in.

I could never make it to the top. :(
I think the farthest I got was 143 feet.
I loved the 'NO' when you fall into the pit at the start.

Not bad at all :)
However it felt a little slow and having to wait for replaying is way too long.

Is there an end somewhere?

Awww. I loved it!

@Endurion: Yeah I might upload a copy that doesn't have to sit through the intro cutscenes. Also, there is no end. The icicle drop rate increases as you climb so it's mainly seeing how high you can make it. =P

Agree with the comments about the restart taking too long, but it was fun. Good job.

The post-compo edit restarts much quicker.

Yay, it is a fun game, sometimes I had issues with controls.
I really like the graphics. It could have used monsters, maybe you could throw the penguin at the monsters?
