Really liked the slick movement! It really felt like you were on ice. Snowballs were a pain, and made staying still problematic, but were mostly easily avoided by staying mobile. Maybe some predictive snowballs that aimed where you were heading would balance that out.
It was fun :) you could try to apply a voronoi breaking algorithm for the iceberg mesh
Nice looking game. Movement was good. When jumping it would have been nice to know where I was going to land (maybe with a shadow or something), it was difficult to gauge the depth correctly (might be because i'm blind). Also what kind of sick animal abuser is throwing the snowballs?
The game respects the theme. it must be cool to be able to play with several players :)
This game as a couch co-op would be great. That 'on-the-edge-of-control' feeling is really satisfying. Made me laugh out loud a lot.
Thanks for the feedback. I will have to check out voronoi breaking algorithm. If I take this game concept further multiplayer would definitely be a requirement.
I hope the penguins slip less in real life. And who is this # $ *! who throws these snowballs. Seriously this game is really fun. Thank you.
The movement feels really good. You feel like you gonna fall all the time while you play this game. Also sometimes I was able to jump off water.
My time
Good game! It reminds me of a minigame in a Mario Party (was it 8?)...
Oh, I forgot. There's something wrong in the particles beneath the penguin's feet... Is the penguin the parent of the particle system?
Penguin is the parent of the particle system I definitely, need to tweak. I never played mario party but have seen a let's play which inspired this. Although if I take it further I want to take it more in the direction of gang beast.
who keeps trowing the damn snowballs? :) love the graphics. really cool idea. a fun slippery ride
Fun to play.
Nice game. My record: 104.6
Great game ! I loved the take on the theme and the way you polished your island, both on the "mechanic" and the visual side.
Pros : - Nice breakup of the iceberg, coupled together with great water behavior - Gameplay and controls are intuitive - Snowballs are midly punishing, especially early, which makes for a balanced difficulty curve - Fun "stressful" music that manages to set a mood
Cons : - Some kind of powerup usable to get back on track when your platform is already a little deep would be nice
All in all, great work ! I managed to reach 90.4
Interesting idea. The jumping was a bit too powerful and hard to control. Also, the game is kinda boring. I think just adding more "juice" would help a lot, e.g. more particles. But the penguin was cute.
