Wow - cool game !

Now I know how Austin Powers got his idea of suit colour !

Haha, thanks a lot! ^_^

Controls were kind of hard to manage, but the minimalist graphics were well used and the explosion effect was nice.

i love the clean minimal style you have going on here :D
if anything needs to be touched up, i'd say the controls were a bit clunky to get used to (the turning)-- but after that, this is a really solid game!

Loved the penguin. So simple, yet recognizable right away.

It feels a bit punishing to die right away when you get hit. The controls made it quite challenging because turning is a luxury you don't have time for most of the time (not without moving forward / backward), but you sometimes have to because you use it to aim as well.

Nice game overall!

(btw: I could not keep the iframe version above running in fullscreen, on click it would exit fullscreen again)

Nice graphics.

Turning is painfully slow, though! I don't think this control scheme works well.

I'm sorry about the controls, the rotation used to be slower though, and we tried to fix it.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm really happy about that!

Nice effort! Controls stopped working on fullscreen in chrome

Thanks! ^_^

Sorry about the controls..

Argh ! A PINK penguin ! XD

Just kidding, not a bad idea, and nice work. :)

Nice work, clean design, I just wished the controls were a bit more responsive.

Cool game. Better if the penguin turns a little faster. Sound would improve things a lot.

nielz 2014-12-17 13:59

We made a second one (not for the Ludum Dare), and improved some stuff based on the feedback!

If you want, you can find the second one, on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jeff-The-Pink-Penguin/993718020645432?ref=ts&fref=ts .

Thanks a lot for the feedback! ^_^

Would have to agree with some others that the control scheme is a little awkward, but it's pretty fun otherwise, well done!

Link was broken for me too but I went to the parent web site and played.

Pretty nice! Powerups add a nice variety to the game. I don't mind the tank controls, reminds me of Resident Evil haha. But yeah, the game was fun, if not original. Would love to see your next game with more graphics and sound too!
