Good programmering

Good job finishing on time, the idea is great. The powers different penguins have are nice but the graphics could better represent them. The movement is a bit slow at times but it fits the icy theme. :)

I like the idea but some instructions would have been nice. I played for a few minutes before figuring out how it worked The animations were really good, nice job on your first entry.

Lol, it was hard to figure out but otherwise pretty good.

A little bit difficult to understand, but it was interesting enough to be worth figuring out. Good Work!

Wanted to like it, but you need some instructions, or remove the penalty for death when you still haven't figured it out. Unplayable as is. What do each of the forms do? How do you use the hook form? What does the blue beak form do? How come you have to click to restart when you don't use the mouse for anything else?

Thanks for the feedback everyone! i've added a better description of the controls now, so it gets easier to learn how to play. :)

Octopus is OP . nerf. heheh. I finished the game only using octopus by superjumping to next circle.

I really like this game, with some polish it will be a great game! Congratulations

Cute game! It was fun playing and discovering all the powers the penguin had. Simple concept but great execution. Great job!

Congratulations on your first Ludum Dare! Of course, I had to give this one a shot! ; P

A fairly solid platformer (though I think the acceleration is a little slow), with a decent enough range of powers. It took me a while to get to the finish, but I eventually made it.

A fine, if simplistic game, with a cute penguin!

I had fun comboing pelican -> octopus -> goat.

I'd like to be able to save some point in the game. I wasn't able to finish and gave up because I had to restart from the beginning.
