Perfect!!! I totally loved it. Really amazing idea and execution. 20/20 from me. 

I want this on a real GB cartridge! Hehe :)

Developer

Thank you very much for playing, and you rating. <3
We don't know yet about the future of this game, but who knows.. We will see this later. :-)

Long penguin
Good game with an interesting concept. The graphics are cute and cute penguins are always good. I also like the music. Really good game^^

A great game with a couple little quirks that made it a bit more frustrating than I'd have liked. Namely the small jump arc with little control once started. I stopped at level 7 because of this but may come back to it.

WOW!

I loved your game! I have absolutely nothing to criticize. Certainly a game that would have been part of the gameboy repertoire in years past, and certainly a game that would be easily adored on mobile.

Congratulations!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Mmmh, a mobile version of this game may be an interesting idea.. 🤔 But nothing sure yet, ofcourse. We will see that later. 😅

Cute, clever, and most importantly, fun! 

Developer

You know if you had fun then this means pur job is done somehow 😛 Haha, thank you for playing! 🥰

Another amazing game. I don't know how you guys manage to pull stuff like this. This game is freaking amazing. Very cute! Graphics, sound, game-play ... just amazing. Good Job! Definitely making top 5!

Developer

I don't know what to say.. Except a big thank you for your kind words and playing the game 🥰

 have become one with the igloo! very cute game! I think there were some interesting puzzle ideas you started to explore here! In the later levels that took several attempts to work out, i found the waiting for the fish jump timer, so that I could fill up my penguin, to be a tad frustrating.

Developer

Thank you for playing, and for sharing your score with us! Very much appreciated! 🥰

Yes, I think I should tweak a bit how fishes spawn. Maybe not just the delay, but also make more variations around how they spawn. But yeah, no more time left for that, haha 😅

Not sure yet if we will turn this game into a real one yet, but we will probably come back to it later as we really like how it looks, and I'd love to try a few more puzzle mechanics hehe 😊

This was a blast to play through! Such a fun unique game with a whole lotta content! This is fantastic! Great job!

Developer

Huh thank you very much 🥰

769 seconds!! I love all the thought that went into this. You really smartly designed the levels to introduce each mechanic in a way that was easily discoverable by the player without any text or explicit prompting.

The graphics and audio were perfect too! This is a really solid game, and an excellent entry. Well done!

Developer

Hey! That's really cool you shared your highscore. I'm really glad to see that you reached the end screen. GG! And thank you very much for playing and these kind words ☝️😊

The mechanics are very well introduced, the first levels are very well done. Cute presentation and very interesting puzzles, great game!

Submitted(+1)

In addition to being really fun and creative, the music and visuals are amazing. The artist made it simultaneously look like both a real gb game and a modern indie. That is to say, the color limitation comes across as a deliberate design choice rather than a constraint of the original game boy. Fantastic job all around

Congratz, It’s so cute :).

I liked the mechanics, It’s fun and challenge. In the beginning I waste time figure out how to eat fishs haha, but when you understand, It’s become more fun.

Penguin penguin heh

Very cute game with fun challanges :) In your description you say 20 "Short" chalenges... but the penguin is so tall in some of them :P hahahaha 

Got stuck on level 7 for a little bit but finally figured it out! Really solid game indeed :D

Had a lot of fun noming, spiting out fishies, and figuring out how to escape the cold to our cozy igloo :D 

Developer

Thank you very much for playing! Really glad you enjoyed it so far, and found the solution to level 7, haha 😁

I think you find a very good pitch for this game. Something like "Escape the cold, and find back your cozy igloo" 🤭👌

Super fun and easy controls.

That was awesome! Loved every second of it. The puzzles managed to stay interesting throughout and it was just a joy to play. Great job! I didn't do particularly great on time, so I may have to try again later to see if I can do better :P

Developer

Thank you very much for playing! This means a lot, really. 🥰

If you try it again, please let me know what time you did then. Really glad to hear you reached the end. Not always easy to find a good difficulty balance hehe 😁

P.S.: Looks like your comment were posted twice, btw🤭

Really clever platformer puzzler. I love the cute art and happy music. It was interesting that you can't jump, but eating and spitting fish has multiple functions. You can use them to grow and also to break blocks. It was pretty cool!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing! Looks like you understood the core game mechanics hehe 😁

Great little romp that ticks all the boxes. 
The controls we're a bit confusing. As the listing is a bit overwhelming. Great marks beyond that though!

Developer

Thx for playing! Yeah, I guess I could improve the controls list, haha.. S'ry about that. I wanted to make keyboard controls okay for QWERTY, AZERTY, and arrow keys at the same time so any player can pick which controls he prefer. ^^
