Once again you manage to win my heart with beautiful art and clever gameplay. This game is very well made. Great job!

sharpcoder 2014-04-28 04:45

Great job! It's short, sweet, and elegant. I love the interesting gameplay mechanic.

2014-04-28 06:33

Great game...but my word, it had me screaming this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E39WWj_RpBc

iamspencer 2014-04-28 08:11

Loved the pixel art. The 'ice' physics made it challenging to avoid being eaten, but that just added to the fun. Great job! :)

bazld 2014-04-28 12:18

Wonderful game, with excellent art. A little too hard (for me) at the start, perhaps make it a bit easier at the start?

martinysa0311 2014-04-28 15:53

Very well done. graphics are excelent

43iscoding 2014-04-28 15:54

I enjoyed your game, simple, yet art and gameplay is pretty neat. P.S. I've been expecting u can cut off circles as u skate - would be even more hardcore ;D gj, tho

papygaragos 2014-04-28 16:58

Cute art and nice audio, I like that game. Does the whale try to kill you or was I just REALLY unlucky? It is super hard to avoid

_adamturnbull 2014-04-28 17:29

This looks really nice, love it!

pixelpig 2014-04-28 17:33

Fantastic game! Love the art to bits and the concept it very original. Awesome entry, be proud!

eldog 2014-04-28 17:35

Beautiful graphics: the fin shadows under the ice and the reflection of the skater are some of the highlights.

Fun too, nice skating controls. Got 15 pages back!

jeffalisk 2014-04-28 17:38

Love how polished you've managed to get this in 48 hours! Great graphics, great controls, very moreish... really good work.

whalebot 2014-04-28 17:43

Thanks to you, I now have a new least favorite aquatic mammal... Beautiful music, fantastic graphics, holy difficulty batman. You definitely have the addicting short game play element going for you. I managed to get 8 pages of my documents before giving up on studying orcas forever.

dominator_101 2014-04-28 17:47

Holy crap, nice game. I might be too good at it, though. I mean, just check out my first attempt:

Anyway, it's a really simple game with nice art and decent music. Great job!

dragonxvi 2014-04-28 17:48

Awesome little game :D Looks gorgeous and easy to play!

theholychicken 2014-04-28 18:12

WHALE
WHAAAAAAAALE
Cute and brilliant work!

larzan 2014-04-28 18:13

Great idea, beautiful gfx, nice music, effing HARD!!
Well done :)

almost 2014-04-28 18:18

This is really cool. The art, music, and mechanics all feel pretty polished.

Having the orca appear right in front of or next to you is terrifying.

fserb 2014-04-28 18:33

I really enjoyed playing this. Good job! :)

zell2002 2014-04-28 18:53

This is fantastic! hard, but beautiful

sience 2014-04-28 19:17

I love it!

igwb 2014-04-28 19:34

+5 for whales.
No, seriously, it's amazing. It took me a few tries to figure out how to get moving the way I want, but then it was just pure fun.

bazoo 2014-04-29 00:22

I liked this. Cute gfx and quite polished game.

jaredsartin 2014-04-29 02:01

Love it! Gonna come back and play more soon!

jonsul 2014-04-29 08:38

Great game. It's fun trying to figure out the whales logic. Nice concept.

adamwoolridge 2014-04-29 09:28

Nice momevement!

allurious 2014-04-29 10:08

This game is amazing! I love the premise and it's super polished for a compo entry. Audio is really suitable, plus the orcas are gorgeous. Nothing wins me over like a hungry orca.

soupwithbits 2014-04-29 10:15

Doesn't get much better than this

nxt 2014-04-29 10:35

The ice-skating mechanic feels so satisfying!

ryan-up-in-here 2014-04-29 13:54

Awesome. I'll be sharing this.

nesis 2014-04-29 15:33

I love it, great art, music, and gameplay - a cute and simple game that's just challenging enough to be fun. Bravo.

raiyumi 2014-04-29 17:08

Nice game, I love the graphics!

nightshadow0 2014-04-29 17:12

Hah, this is really cute, and the gameplay feels just right. Nice work!

dmcfarline 2014-04-29 19:24

Really nice feel to this, great graphics too!

_adamturnbull 2014-04-29 19:46

Loved this! Great graphics and fun gameplay. Nice job :)

ammaralsharekh 2014-04-29 19:54

Simple and nice , I like reflection in ice

stoo 2014-04-29 21:50

I really like this! It's nicely implemented, fantastic mechanic and the music has an icy feel to it. I am also completely rubbish at it!

martin_monosys 2014-04-29 22:16

Really nice game, but a bit too difficult for me. Yeah, I guess I suck at games...! ;) Still, very cute, and a nice soundtrack, too. Looking very professional!

secret_tunnel 2014-04-29 23:19

Very cool concept! There's not much to it, but it was very fun to control. I think the past few 3D Mario games have proven that we need more ice-skating games.

dreii 2014-04-30 03:10

Very elegant very pretty :) Id take it out on a date anyday!

peo 2014-04-30 19:57

Very well done in all aspect :) The best I did was 4 pages!
It would be cool if there was a way to anticipate the killer whale, or maybe I missed something.

whitevoidia 2014-05-01 02:13

So much fun! The whales always seemed to cut me off :P
The controls, music, and art style are perfect for this game.

alvarop 2014-05-01 08:59

Beautiful game. Very cool and subtle use of very well known mechanics (?). I enjoyed this a lot!

fox_in_sox 2014-05-01 15:49

I remember playing ice levels in old platformer games and really hating them. But you managed to remove the bad and make the idea of ice skating in games fun. Yes, it's true the game is hard, but I enjoyed it. Also thumbs up for the pretty graphics.:)

bombjack 2014-05-01 20:19

very addictive! great job!

keymaster 2014-05-01 20:35

Really really nice entry, I'm amazed that this already is a completely finished game! Nice and simple mechanics in combination with great art and sound! Great work :)

tuism 2014-05-02 23:23

Very cool! I love the graphics and the gameplay, some real tension in those turns! Well done! Every little bit of communication was really good. TENSE! Good one!

merrik 2014-05-04 01:33

This is very charming! I really like the sound track a lot.
I found the whale attack a little unavoidable at times. I might be missing something but I feel there could be a little more warning before the attack.

spierek 2014-05-06 07:26

Pretty fun :) It'd be nice if the wind could change directions in the middle of the game.

bekokstover 2014-05-06 07:58

Feels and plays very nice. Tough to get more than 8 pages!

mechabit 2014-05-06 12:50

fun little game

mortus 2014-05-06 13:41

That's super stylish! I love the mood and I love the mechanics! It's very hard though, avoiding the orca if it emerges right before you is nearly impossible for me.

zyxer 2014-05-06 14:50

Am I really bad at this game or is it just really hard? I never got more than 4 pages.

Needless to say but great graphics, great sound and great game as a whole.

dector 2014-05-06 17:00

Quite hard and very awesome. Smooth and sweet. Great job. :)

zkenshin 2014-05-06 18:35

Quite a solid entry. Nicely done. :)

garethiw 2014-05-06 18:53

Whale of a time!

zebi24 2014-05-06 23:02

Love it! :)

mustaine 2014-05-07 03:07

Love the skating gameplay. Very unique. Game is really challenging.

ethankennerly 2014-05-07 04:14

Skating in figures to avoid the orca kept me concerned and alert! The rules of the orca, which seemed to predict my next position interested me. Also how the ice that I can skate on is removed, which makes it more and more difficult challenged me. If you continue to develop this, I didn't get to a moment where I felt I had accomplished something besides the time. I also didn't have much skill at catching papers, so began to ignore them.

lightsoda 2014-05-08 04:22

Love the feel of the skating, looks really nice too. Nicely done!

catman 2014-05-08 16:57

Nice little game, very well made in all of its aspects. Great job!!

stvr 2014-05-09 17:23

Love it! Great art and sound, awesome concept, incredibly difficult.

striwx 2014-05-13 10:35

Very cool !

2014-05-15 12:17

So cute! Nice1!

billhung 2014-05-15 13:34

looks simple, but quite hard. Like the BGM. And the graphics was very cute.

anoarith 2014-05-19 00:38

Really nice game. Graphics and the music was really cute :)

Quite difficult tough because whales spawn really fast
