Really cool art and physics! The music had a really fun tempo and the sound effects are hilarious. I felt like I got knocked out a little too easily but I might just be bad.

Best Game ever!!! i'd like the theme of the ice but the game is a bit difficult for me

ghost-wave 2021-04-26 10:53

Fun as heck but a bit hard. Bonus points for multiple controls scheme and a browser playable version.

hotpaw 2021-04-26 11:21

You should port this to mobile! Really nice, the best thing is the you lose the game riff, love it!

Awesome game with sick graphics, responsive controls and intuitive gameplay! Love the aesthetic, very impressive for a compo game! You should be proud!

I love how penguin gets slapped with ice. 10/10

hamzaplayssssssssss 2021-04-26 12:20

I`ts really cool but it is really hard the best I can get is 192

I think this is the first game that I actually clicked restart a bunch of times :D Great learning curve, sounds are top notch.

Penguins might not be able to fly, but this guy sure is pretty durable! Lots of fun, and the art is great!

a0m1n3zone 2021-04-26 14:45

This guy really try to fly :joy: . Very fun game!!

vaanrile 2021-04-26 15:23

Really fun game ! Great concept, great audio and a very addicting experience overall (I forgot how many times I have restarted the game, but I am sure it was way more than once). Good job !

dirkinz 2021-04-26 15:52

Fun but dificult. It feels like I get knocked out too easily and then rarely can I recover. Perhaps a bit more bounce or slide on the penguin would make the knockouts not feel so game ending?

javicoder 2021-04-26 17:20

a simple but very fun game. Good physics. I loved the intro, with that cool music,

tad-i-guess 2021-04-26 17:58

This is really fun and the graphics are really great

mkmuffi 2021-04-26 19:10

Fun game to play, but I feel like you hit the ledges too easily, and the controls are a bit floppy. I like the 3D look of it though, and the sound effects are funny! Nice job

pohko 2021-04-26 19:14

Very cool game, I especially enjoys the sfx :laughing: It was tough at first and got me to keep playing and get better, I enjoyed that a lot about it.

mdotedot 2021-04-26 19:29

A tad too dificult for my taste. But looks very nice. Cool animation :smile: Good Job.

chesschaser 2021-04-26 19:36

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!

kadams 2021-04-26 20:11

Who says penguins cant fly?

quoclon 2021-04-27 01:44

I agree with a couple other comments, a bit difficult. I also didn't immediately understand why I was losing. I love that he does little flips as his way down. The animation/art/mood are amazing. The controls were easy to pickup and play. It also worked well for me on WebGL :)

valid 2021-04-27 04:18

That was challenging! Great music

secret-magic-404 2021-04-27 10:04

Easy to play but hard to master... hehe :smirk: Achieving that balance usually takes a lot of time and playtesting. Congrats on making it happen in a compo submission!

jk5000 2021-04-27 19:05

This game made me smile, and what more do yo want form a game? The controls could perhaps have been better, but I am not sure it would have made the game more fun to play. Overall a good jam game. Well done.

steelax 2021-04-27 19:27

Yeti Sports vibe! my only complaint with this was the flap mechanic buggged on occastion the fact this was made from nothing in 48 hours is humbling as hell.

tevasliutauras 2021-04-27 21:18

Had a lot of fun with this one, great graphics too!

szymon-ogd 2021-04-28 16:04

323m! I couldn't get further :( I like the penguine animation! I would add the possiblity to stand up. God job.

PS. I was laughing for 20s when I saw the stepping pinguine.

Hahaha really fun game! smacking the penguin and hoping for a fast recovery XD

bereg 2021-05-02 14:02

The game is so cool and the pinguin is cute. Nicely done, it's was fun to play.

brokenmatcha 2021-05-02 19:59

I love this game!!! This is so funny :laughing: very nice game!

This game broke me mentally...and I think that's what I liked about it? I could definitely feel myself getting better the more I played, but I'm still a far cry from some OTHER high score chasers out there... >.>

usenrame 2021-05-03 02:16

Game 5/5 It's really catchy and sound design is a true masterpiece! Great game! With love from falling ragdoll brother <3

rhoff95 2021-05-03 22:07

Cool game. I really like that the penguin spins around as he is hit. I would prefer if the player character was higher up on the screen, giving more time to react to oncoming obstacles. Screen rendered above the player does not really serve any purpose.

maytch 2021-05-04 11:32

I managed to reach 395m. It's cool to see how much people can make solo in 48 hours.

pbg 2021-05-04 11:54

Fun, but tough. I found the amount of inertia the penguin had to be very challenging to manage. Excellent looking game! I played the webgl version and thought it looked great.

cavedens 2021-05-04 15:58

Good job. I sucked at it but was made very well

meep 2021-05-13 05:04

Hey fellow penguin-game entry :D Was a really fun ragdoll game and super satisfying when you get a good run going. Absolutely loved the penguin model- managed to get 960m :)

alaah 2021-05-13 11:03

There are so many dangers to account for at the same time but I really liked it after I had got the gist of it. Although I still think the mobs with a ranged attack might be a bit overkill. It's impressive how you managed to make full and good-looking 3D graphics in a compo. It could pass as a full game from the shareware era. And I love you for the voice acting. [I played it live](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1011129873?t=0h50m39s)

stanov 2021-05-16 19:39

The graphics are exceptional, for a compo game! Also the animations and sound effects! I can see a lot of effort being put into it.

The difficulty is veeeeeeery high! :D I wasn't able to avoid even the first platforms :D I would suggest to cap the speed at the beginning or make the controls less floaty.

But still, for a compo entry, definitely above an average.

Cheers!

Well if that isn't the cutest unconscious penguin I ever did see. This is one of those simple concept that's really hard to master. Kinda like a flappy bird. The cute graphics really fit and the audio was good too. Not really got anything negative to say. It's executed really well.

Good stuff :8ball:
