This game is adorable, I love the chonky raccoon. I had a hard time understanding the purpose of the items that he can hold and I'm still not sure of what they're used for, but overall this is really great!
This is so cool! I loved the song playing in the background, the art style is cute and the mechanics that make the ship unstable are really funny!
I love the visuals, physics of the game and gameplay loop :), but I feel like the hitboxes are a little inconsistent at times, but it might the bricks on the ground that are really hard to see sometimes. Really amazing overall!
This is very neat idea and the game gets pretty intense in hard mode, really put my aiming skills to a test! The only issue I have is that the game song only plays on the left side of my headphones and all the rest of the audio plays normally.
It's just perfect in every sense, oh god. The audio, the art, the mechanics. I love the slippery ice, love how the penguins float with empty eyes after you fail them ( I felt bad for them :( ), love the way the ice slowly falls in a few levels and you have to juggle 2 penguins at the same time!!!
Absolutely loved the twist, I laughed so hard, it was amazing!
@mrchippy @bqq @seam00se Thank you so much for the feedback! The game's difficulty really was something that ended up being overlooked, specially with the lack of a proper tutorial so some mechanics were misunderstood by players. Sadly, we did not have a lot of time to do proper playtesting and by the time we thought about changing the difficulty, it was almost submission time so we had to let go. However we'll take it into consideration for a future game or jam!
@baconharemthug I'm so sorry, the issue has been fixed now. Thank you for still giving the game a try! :D
@100th-coin Thank you for your feedback! The issue ties back to the difficulty sadly. We made a few checkpoints (the door you find in the prologue level) and scattered them around, but it seems like people are dropping the game before getting to them. We also took notes about lowering the consequence of death, that really is something we should've taken into consideration after deciding not to have a tutorial. Sorry for the frustration and thank you so much for your insight! :D
@rufson That is a very clever solution! We are making some adjustments on the game and one of them was change the walk animation so there's a bigger gap between the steps, but we might also apply that alongside some different audio samples. Thank you so much!
