Nice hypercasualgame. But i didn't quite see where you put the theme.

Nice game! Simple to pick up and play but it can be challenging at the same time. The music was a fun fit and I enjoyed the ability to pick up the golden snitches and get some revenge on the penguins haha! Nice work :)

Really nice game! i loved the music and the whole vibe from it. the penguins were super cool and diverse it made it a really enjoyable play! would make for a nice mobile game to play while waiting for a bus!

would you mind checking out my game?

Thank you for playing my game too ^^ It's not at the level of yours for sure.

Fun little diversion with cute choice of art/theme, but would feel more fair with some more fine tuned spawning.

- My favorite thing is the different speeds of the penguins, it creates more diversity as you try to dodge through them to keep your combo, which keeps it more engaging.
I liked the penguin variety, the bumper penguin especially for example means you're not just losing your combo but being bounced into a possibly even worse situation.
I think it was a good decision to have you fail at the edges, meaning you need to keep through the center and not just hug the wall, so things stay more intense.

- Because you need to focus on your penguin and dodging, it could really benefit from sound to indicate that your score multiplier has increased so you don't have to see it. And a sound when you lost your score multiplier by bumping into an enemy, different to normal bumping into an enemy, to create more of an impact for that loss.
Also the golden snitch penguin, and feeling of fairness in the game would be improved greatly if it came at a consistent pace instead of random like it does. I had a game where I only saw it a few times, then another where it came out multiple times frequently and I ended up with my highest score easily thanks to that. If you also had a flashing indicator at the top of the screen where the golden penguin would drop down from, that would be even better to give the game some pacing where you have a target location to get through/penguins to dodge so you can be able to catch the snitch.

Thank you dude ! That's great feedbacks. I was looking to find a solution for what you told. Anyway I will work on it later for sure. Your feedbacks will help me to improve the feelings. :)

Submitted

:) no worries at all! Glad the feedback helps. Good luck working on refining it :) .

Fun little game, I love penguins! Your SFX and music were perfectly quirky and fit the jam's theme well. I'll admit I didn't play on a mobile device, but honestly touchpad wasn't that bad. I kind of wish touching the sides didn't kill you so I could focus more on not getting pushed back, but that may just be my personal preference. Overall, really solid game! I could see this doing well on mobile.

Would appreciate it if you checked out my game too!

Thank you so much ! I think to push it on the play store one time. I wait for feedbacks to improve it later. :)

Well, that turned out to be quite fun. It was a great fun game. I think you can release a mobile app for this on the store. At first, it just felt very simple but then different types of penguins started coming. That changed the whole dynamic. Hahaha! Thanks for this game! Also, the music was great too. It suited the game perfectly.

Please play and rate my game too if you can. I would really appreciate it! Thanks a lot!!

Developer

Thank you dude ! Mobile game is in my personal roadmap. I want to add more events to make it very casual and enjoyable. But for the jam I focused on the concept. See you in an other jam :)

Tested it out on my phone (android + chrome) and it ran perfectly. Once you get into the groove on the phone (always leading the inuit) it’s real fun!

I really should have read the instructions first, I thought the kamikaze gave you points ahahaha, quite the opposite.

Developer

Thanks dude ! You have done a really great game :)

Perhaps I will try to launch it on the play store later.

I'd suggest that the golden penguin isn't a penguin but, idk, some other animal or something since all penguins are bad but that one, but idk. It's simple and fun, I like it! 

Developer

Yeah, you have right but I didn't what to draw.

What a nice idea! And tune in bg makes a lot of the vibe :)

Very fun game, I think this would work really well as a mobile game. The art was very cute and the music was catchy. Maybe you could test adding some other obstacles to avoid like parts of the ice sheet breaking and mending to make the game a little more dynamic? Overall great job!
