So I saw this anf thought "Hey, didn't that person already make a penguin-based game some time ago?"

This means the style is recognizable :)

This is pretty charming. I like the idea of the "random event".

Simple, cute, and fun! Good stuff.

I felt pretty terrible watching those little penguins die. :) I really like the random events. Great Job!

cute graphics !

voltorben 2013-08-26 21:01

i got 22!
Really cute game. Loved the graphics (tho i wished it had been double sized pixels so i could see more detail!)
I think the balance is kinda ok - easy in the start just to get the hang of it, then BAM, hell freezes over and there is fucking penguins everywhere ;)
Sound would really have added to the experience.
Great fun!

I see dead penguins :'(

It's cute. I like that the main avatar can't die, it makes me more brave to save little penguins.
The hunger bars filling up could be life bars going down. This briefly confused me. I understand an ally with dropping health.
How to play should include what keys to use for control.

Well done.

Really nice! Congrats! :D

nerlin 2013-08-27 06:11

Good game but some sounds and help with controls right in game could make it better. Well done.

Old school arcade style game play with an event timer! Really cool idea using the theme as triggers for difficulty. Sound would definitely complete the experience, good stuff!

rujomarco 2013-08-27 08:53

awesome graphics, love the style.

zerkruemler 2013-08-27 18:36

Simple but fun

I found the controls a bit slippery, but, being ice, maybe they're meant to be.

The random-event-every-ten-seconds works well. And the penguins look good :)

blecta 2013-08-28 17:05

Nice entry ! Cute graphics and the random hazards idea is pretty cool :)

tammilion 2013-08-28 19:48

Nice game, really cute! Random events are good. I didn't like the hatchlings dying, can't they just end up crying? :)

urfoex 2013-08-28 20:57

Good entry.

Damn spikes -.- Stopping me right before I can feed a little one.

theholychicken 2013-08-29 00:52

Every ten seconds a penguin starves :[
Nice art style and game play, good job!

bitowl 2013-08-29 09:57

awwww it's sooo cute :3

nickw 2013-08-29 10:41

Scored 17 : ) Wall jumpin penguin ftw! I found the death time you're stunned for a little frustrating but it was interesting that your character cant die and that you lose by not saving the little penguins! Snowballing the bad penguins was fun too but I really liked wall jumpin up the center part heheh. Nice work man.

muciojadpl 2013-08-29 12:01

Very nice and funny game, good idea :)

paperblurt 2013-08-30 17:38

NO! Are be penguin babies dying? Fun game anyway!

ratalaika 2013-08-31 12:18

good job

tobiasw 2013-08-31 22:17

The animation of the little penguins getting fed is so cute! In fact, all the graphics are pretty cool.

I really like the gameplay! The snowball seems strangely satisfying, and I think not using hitpoints but just stunning the player was a pretty good decision. It's also cool that the "events" are taking up the whole 10 seconds - I was expecting just momentary events, which wouldn't have been as cool. The events bring a lot of variety which games like this really need. The difficulty balance is fine until a certain point.

Regarding the music: Check out http://abundant-music.com next time! It's a generator with a surprising high quality.

Really charming game!

So cute. It would be nice to have multiple levels and some ways of getting health back. But it was very enjoyable!

jupiter_hadley 2013-09-01 04:11

Cute fun game!! I love it! I featured this game in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/biBzDWmV3kc

IT was quite difficult to get the penguin where I wanted him to go.

darkfrost 2013-09-01 07:06

Fellow penguin-platformer! :D Simple, obvious game mechanics, that need very little explanation (Except that I didn't realize the other penguins were enemies at first!)

Good game :) Managed to score 23!

sylvain-p 2013-09-01 17:18

Nice little game! You should add the controls somewhere.

manuq 2013-09-01 20:54

At first it seemed simple, but soon things started to get complicated! Good job!

domrein 2013-09-01 21:13

Fun and cute penguins! Good job.

otus 2013-09-01 21:19

It's a cute game!
I like how the events change as the game goes :)

krasse 2013-09-14 20:38

Great implementation of game mechanics.
Nice and simple graphics. Well done!
