I like the look and feel of your game. Simplistic as the graphics may seem, the Pelinguin und Slimeblob are super cute. Everything has a nice mood to it, I'm especially a fan of the twinkling stars :)
I had problems, though: In the tower like level I was not able to progress upwards because my jump was too low or the slime pushed me out. I could not figure out what to do.
Also, I think the choice of controls is suboptimal. using the arrow keys to move is good, but E is really far from the keypad. On the other hand A and D are used for moving, but I can't jump whit W. This feels weird. And forcing use of the mouse to close dialogues is also a thing I did not like about the controls.
Nevertheless, I am a fan of your cute atmosphere :)
I like the penguin art and animation. Character movement felt a bit slow and sluggish though, and also couldn't figure out how to move up past the slime guy.
I really like the slide animation and the art style!
simplistic design is nice but could use some more obstacles and some ambient sound
Hello guys, thanks for the feedbacks :) ! Sorry that you didn't make it through the end, we should have give you some tips during the game. We wanted to make a game where you have to try stuff by yourself until you find the right answer, but I guess it didn't suit to this kind of game (or we just didn't do it properly uwu)!
Hello guys, thanks a bunch for the feedback ! Yes our designer really nailed it !
As @etoile mentioned, we wanted the player to find the keys for each level, and it's logic for the lore of our Pelinguins ;) As for the level 4, you can shoot projectiles with the mouse click, you should really beat this level to see the easter eggs afterwards, and discover what happens to our ... hero?
The E button spam contest is torture. I can feel the arthrosis forming. Is the speed to it bound to framerate? Other than that I liked the jump challenge before it :)
examplef.gif an example of how fast it is
@jefvel Whoops sorry for that x) It seems that we forgot to take the deltatime into account. Thank you for letting us know! We will try to make an update that'll fix this ^^
(Don't break your arm because of our game please, that's not our goal >w<)
@marcrobin don't worry, I have two of them anyway. I thought it was suspiciously difficult, like what kind of super humans made this game :smile:
I liked the visual style and animation of the penguin

I enjoyed the visuals and the penguins movement felt very smooth. Though sometimes I felt like I was hitting my head on a lot of things that would mess up my jumps.
I really liked the the background with the stars and the small balls that jump!!! <3
We also created an entry for the jam in case you wanna check :)

Nice style and enjoyable premise. A bit too difficult to make the right jumps when you get to the slimeys or what-they-are.
I've made game with penguins on one of the previous LD's. Penguins are cool!
The penguin is cute. One of the jumps in the area where you have to climb up felt really overly precise. I liked the twist at the ending.
I just adored the pelinguin’s animation! I did not want to lose my tiny pelinguin soul, though...
Great job on the game!
"you play a half-pelican half-penguin" this intrigued me :). Good entry, the animations are nice, but you could speed up the transitions (especially when going back upright). Well done.
Also I might be your 20th rating :D
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!

Hope you got some valuable feedback on your game and looking forward to seeing you next LD jam if I dont catch you before then! :D
