Simply great! Only complain I have is a weird depth sorting issues on some sprites, but everything - gameplay, music, visuals - fits together and just a blast to play. Extremely fun!

Great! Really good sound and gameplay. Congrats for your job!
Awesome! Actually, it is easier to play by making a hole in the center of the level and exploit path finding of enemies to fall into it. But adding weight is fun!
Penguin Royale is a cute and clever limited-space shooter. You play as a penguin that has a magnifying machinegun which is used to magnify the enemies, so much so that their weight crushes the ice beneath them. Furthermore, those very same holes in the ice created by the previous enemies, can be used by the player to lure other enemies to their deaths, even without shooting at them!
I really like how clever the gameplay is and how you managed to do something rather innovative, even if the game-type itself is so ancient. I love the story and setting, and the art is adorable. Even the Penguin-HUD deserves a gold-star for being so innovative.
The only thing I didn’t like with this game is the annoying choice of music. I didn’t feel like it was fitting at all and it was so annoying that I actually had to take my headphones off.
Music fits perfectly and makes playing more fun definitely :) but there is a lack in diversity of oponents. yeah, 1 guy shoots but it's not hard to dodge and it doesn't change the way of killing them in any way. Nice idea with having less and less space available
really well executed gameplay. plays very well. polished little game! great stuff
This is a very well done game, I quite enjoyed it. Gameplay is concise and straightforward, and the limited space makes it still challenging. Very nice!
Wow! Great pixel art!!! I like a lot the idea of grow the enemys with shots! eheheh and makes him break the ice! good game!!! Congrats!
I think I had a bug where sometimes my character would just start moving in a direction I wasn't pressing? Got me killed a few times. Unless I'm misunderstanding some other part of the game. Anyway, other than that it felt really good to play, the growing enemies were fun, the graphical style is really cool, I like the pixel art. Nice game!
This is so cool, fun and satisfying! I love it! Also the space penguins and art in general look super badass. Oh and congrats on that transition, also looks great!
I love the mechanic and it works so well!
The concept is really innovating, and it's well executed. Very nice work!
By the way, score is 188.
Wow, great mechanics, great graphics. Thanks, that was a blast to play!
Your penguins are so much better than mine :D Seriously though, this is a VERY solid game! There's a seam strat: be careful where you shoot your enemies, make a big hole in the middle and just juke orcas and bombs into falling through those. Easiest 250 points of my life :D
One thing I'd alter would be restart screen, it breaks the flow a little bit.
Awesome! I scored 446, is that good? Fun game, I like that the counter intuitive action pays off. Nice art and music as well!
nice graphics! wich resolution do you use for the sprites and screen? nice gameplay!
I love the art and it's really fun! Pathfinding needs work, though, it's really easy to trick the enemies into falling off.
@cjuan94, Thanks for your comment. The size of tiles ~64x64, characters 32x32. Resolution of screen 860x540.
This game is great. I love the gameplay, art and music too. I have a weird problem where the character keeps moving in a certain direction till i press then release the key again to stop it. Sometimes the enemies fall into the water directly after entry too. Overall, I had a lot of fun.
І вам Українського коменту! Молодці!! Виглядає просто шикарно!
@makerart Дзякуем!
Haha, very funny game! Fun and simple gameplay, cute pixely graphics, cheerful soundtrack... What else to ask for? And the story abaut space penguin protecting his land is just too good :smile:
Simple, fun, and good old school feelings.
And nice graphics! Good job!
Хороший концепт и реализация. Как уже написали выше геймплей хакается тем, что враги падают в дыры, а не обходят их, но это можно и потом поправить. Отличная работа!
