How does the game fit the theme?
As a junior scientist, your main job is to watch penguins, as nothing can go wrong... right? Uncover the mystery of what is happening in the facility, so be quick because time is limited!!
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I have used free sound effects and the majority of assets from a paid package, also a friend of mine made music for my game.

PEEEEENGUINS !!! I'm so fond of these birds <3
Unfortunately I have to agree with the people in the comments, I had a hard time understanding the objective, this definitely deserves a post-jam update, because I otherwise love this simple lab and aquarium setting, the penguins and the music !
Hey! Thanks for playing the game. I'm working on a post update that will give an actual meaning to the gameplay!
I dont have any new thing to tell you that no one has already told you but the game is unclear and I had no idea what I am suposed to do, I used the other comments to help me.
But your idea looks cool and I think the the game can be nice if it would be clear what you are suposed to do.
Please try out and rate my game too.
Hello nice visuals and sounds! But the gameplay is kinda problematic i would love to have a tutorial on what to do because at the start you told the player that he has to pout the pipes in place but after that there was no guidance.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm already working in a post-jam, update soon I will make it actually easier for the player!
I found the description and screenshots fun and intriguing so I instantly wanted to play, but I think I ran into a bug. I could not get past the main menu (with "play", "controls", and "quit") because it dropped me into a room with the menu elements and some pipes. I could not interact with anything in that room to start the game.
I'm sorry about that, I forgot to add the post-processing to the pipes at the beginning they serve to interact with (E). And sorry for not making it clear! Thanks for the feedback!
Sweet, I got in! Definitely going to play it more tonight. Thanks!
Happy to hear!
So very intriguing, my friend, but I simply don't understand what this is, how you're supposed to play it, and what is/isn't intentional about the design. Strong presentation, of course, and a good setting. What does the blue gun do? Why are the pipes constantly falling?
You are supposed to play in a manner that you observe what the penguins are doing, for example following the routine to see if each penguin is on its track, about the pipes, there is a trickster penguin, dropping your pipes. Your mission is to discover which penguin is the (Imposter). The blue gun is a scanner, when I compiled the last version it stopped working {it was made to detect the name and age of the penguin so you can differentiate which one}. Also thanks for the playtest! I'm working on adding the actual gameplay and focusing on the fun to uncover the penguin!
