Penguin are great, but the game really needs more polish.

The lacking animations on the gargoyles are really lacking and all the hammers/maces in the game are not usable at all (they are too slow and dealing not much more damage in return). The graphics are fine, the character really responsive but some times when I would pick up a new rapier it would only trust backwards.

Good game, but really rough execution.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback.
We are planning to remake the combat in the game to be faster and add more diffrences between weapons.
Hopefully our update will fix everything.

Cool penguin :D. I liked the models, but there aren't enough animations for the boss, but it's a cool idea.

Good penguins. I enjoy the models, character designs, and environments. The Movement is fine, but combat feels a bit stilted from the get-go. Upgrades and the exchange mechanic can shake up things a bit but a nicer way to combat bosses from the beginning might help. Overall well made, and could def see it’s potential.

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback, it genuinely helps us a lot.
We are planning to change player combat.
sadly we didnt complete the game, but we are planning to finish it in the future.

I love penguins. The mop joke was good. I think the game lacks technical support, but as a joke, the game is good
