Lookslike osx version is having problems

jerrre 2013-12-16 06:39

Can you give more info?

If it was an error when clicking outside a button, I fixed it.

Really nice concept. I found it easier to wait until the penguins were on the move, drop fish in their path and hope. Adding some sort of signposting to indicate how the AI thinks and plans their moves would help a lot.

IBEATIT! Fun little game, I love how the penguins move around independently :)

I was counting on that email address being real..

This was fun! After studying the penguin on the first level I came to the conclusion that it is just easier to try to place fish right in front of them when they are moving.

I really like the game. Great idea, a pity there's not more levels. I think you could improve a lot the game for a post compo version adding rules to the simulation: smells, hungry/satiation.

Quite fun, and like nothing I've ever played before.

The graphics worked fairly well for what you were trying to accomplish here.

The audio was pretty nice, and even a little humorous.

Well done.

Thanks all for the compliments!

Great game! the sound was staticky, but that was probably my PC

I got exhausted trying to think like a penguin.

Really fun! Would be worth making longer post jam though!

jerrre 2013-12-22 16:52

thanks

Nice game, with 'great educational value' :D
The third level was a bit messy but I guess it's all for the fun of the game. Congrats for this original take on the theme.

I think it's a little random if the penguins get the fish or not.. I usually just drop the fish off right in their way and it works :D But such a cool concept, keep it up!

goerp 2013-12-23 19:22

That was cool (no pun intended, well maybe a little bit). And funny too. the sound gave it a chilly feel.
Nice take on the theme, I've seen nothing like that in the compo.
After the first two level I thought 'that's easy' and then it got a lot harder.
Nice game, I think you can expand on it. Some more options and maybe some more variety in the scenery, some less square ice tiles, smoother movement?
just some suggestions.

I guess it's a roguelike, you start over at level 1 :)

I didn't know how to think like a pinguin, I guess you have to use the thoughts bubbles.

tobbez 2013-12-25 16:39

Like this take on the theme. Didn't manage to understand how the AI works so completing the levels was a bit random. Try to make the AI patterns more easy to figure out.

handcraftedradio 2013-12-27 23:31

Ha nice! This was great! I found myself yelling at the penguins, especially when those greedy ones kept stealing the fish from the others! 3rd level is tough! Great work!
