First!
Sliding up the curved walls is really fun and having to feed the penguin is a cool mechanic. This is a very fun penguin game (:
Thanks!
Hard game)
Pretty little game, I just wish the game was longer and used more the theme.
its hard but its fun to play
Tough game! But fun. Good job!
penguin was pretty fun to control, I agree with @tad-i-guess about sliding up the curved sections (a little like sonic :) the penguin sprite especially looked great, though it'd be fun for it to be a little bigger and have him flap his little wings on the double jump.
I didn't make it too far, but the level did a good job of progressively introducing the mechanics. I think the signs should show their message when the penguin is in front of them, it took me a while to realize I had to move the mouse over them.
great job!
Frustrating at first, but after a while it gets to be a fun and challenging Bennett Foddy kind of game. Great job!
it's hard and fun, love the little penguim
I agree with the other comments. It was a little hard just do to the mechanics. Maybe you just need to tweak the physics a bit. I like the quick turn around after dying. I felt like I could try different strategies to find a fast and fun way through the map.
This game is sooo hard! I tried something like 30 or 40 runs, what a nice try & die that needs a perfect execution.
As a platformer, the hardest part is often the "physic" of the character, but the double jump, air control and speed is really well balanced, so congrats 'cause it is not an easy task!
- Too bad there is no audio - I think the fishes we pick up shouldn't have collision, because they slightly bump us when we pick them and it can be dramatic! haha - Maybe some checkpoints? - I had some times a small bug, when dying, the game wasn't "reset" really well (the first fish wasn't there, and dying a second time made it appear again), so nothing serious :)
Anyway, I had fun playing it, I'll give it another try to learn the map by heart! haha
seems pretty straight forward, good job! I think the controls are pretty good, the penguin looks cool. I would scrap the hover with mouse mechanic, and just have it pop up when we're by the sign. otherwise it looks pretty good
Tip for any future Ludum Dare contestants: Put a penguin in your game and I am obligated to like it.
Nice job! I would have preferred to be able to jump with up or w, but that's a pet peeve of mine. Overall, nice work!
Penguin's are too cute
@grena Thank you for taking the time to write a comment! And yes, I do think audio would have been nice, but as we were working on it we ran out of time. We originally had plans for checkpoints, but... yeah. You mentioned the game not resetting properly, and honestly I have no idea why. Anyhow, thanks for taking the time to review our game!
Nice game! I like it a lot. My only wish is that there were checkpoints, it's so hard to start all over again every time I'm mess up :)
it was pretty hard to get the ramp jump mechanic down and the signs wouldn't show anything most of the time, but cool game, i liked the art too!
@monkeybit29 You have to hover your mouse over the signs, which is a bit unintuitive. We should have probably made it so they showed up when you were next to them. Thanks for playing!
Good job. Enjoyed playing. Hovering the mouse cursor over the signs makes it a bit challenging. Perhaps try giving a different option (e.g. hitting enter).
Difficult, but still fun. Art is nice and consistent, everything works as it should controls nicely.
Nice little platformer. I just have 1 thing to add over the other comments: The robots didn't seem like enemies to me, I only found it out by running into them lol.
Keep up the good work!
