Things I liked, the water shader was cool. Things I disliked, seemed really difficult to move the ice pieces. I clicked several times but was unable to get the ice piece close enough for the penguin to move. Considerably too slow, perhaps the ice pieces should be more greatly influenced by the waves?
Thanks for sharing the Github! Not like its required. Like what you have but still trying it out
Thanks for the feedback. You need to drag with the mouse across the surface to make enough of a wave to move the ice, not just click. But yeah they probably should be affected more as well.
The water looks really nice and making waves with your mouse is really satisfying. I don't really get the objective of the game, like how to win. It seems mostly you just push around icebergs and then penguin jumps on them, and that's it. Some clearer objective would be nice. Good stuff!
@billehbawb Thanks! Yeah the objective is missing unfortunately because we ran out of time.
Impressive water animation! I like the concept and would like to see more :) Good job!
@greendinogames thanks! the water is a very old demoscene effect, converted to 3D :) Quite a hack, but works nicely.
Kudos to you for not using a game engine! I peeked at the scripts and can appreciate all the work that goes into something relatively simple. Playing around with the water is a really cool and unique mechanic. I think you could definitely expand upon this if you wanted to.
The water is so cool and beautiful! Good job
