I love the concept and art so much, i like that u have a defined goal and everything, but it can be a bit laggy or idk like i cant always dig and walk where i would think i could, but very good job for such a short time!:D

Thank you for playing and for the flowers! I think you were slipping on the black ice. Maybe there is too much of it at the wrong points, but it was intended ;) 
Now after the jam i will implement a small tutorial before the game begins.
Again, thank you very much and i hope you enjoyed it!

Great job with this!!

Developer

Thank you!

A fun game. I like the design a lot. Health bars might be a good idea. Cute sound effects for the creatures would be nice.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, a health bar for the kids is a good idea :)

Submitted

It could be very good game with some improvements... Good job!

Developer

Thank you for your comment. I will improve it to a very good game then :)

Submitted

Good game, hope to see it improved more <3

Developer(+1)

Thanks and i am glad to hear that. I will not disappoint you.

The idea is really amazing! But the controls bug a lot.

If done right, this game is very cool!

Developer

Thanks for your feebdback and for playing! Sometimes picking the snow or attacking isn't flawless. But slipping on the black ice is intended ;)
Anyway, will improve after the jam!

So glad that to hear you will improve after the jam, because it's a great idea!
A small tutorial won't be bad either, also explaining that you can slide on black ice. I wasn't sure if it was a bug lol.
And sometimes the collision area    with other objects is so big that you cannot walk past an object.

Nice to hear that you enjoyed it! Thank you.

Fun unique concept. The gameplay feels a bit wonky at times, like finding the right location to get the snow hit detection working.

Developer

Thank you! Yes, it's not perfect yet but i will optimize it later and maybe do a second game with the same theme.

Thank you very much!

It was an interesting game. I think it was too hard for me until a certain point where the polar bears just decided they didn't want to eat the baby penguins anymore (not sure if that was intentional or a bug) but still, I was missing 2 or 3 blocks to complete the igloo because of the warming and the seals.

Great game, also I like the music.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. The kids were already down then, it's a bug. I know it's a hard game... it's the dark souls of the penguin world

Game is very cute and I like the idea, but I'm not sure how it works, I can't seem to lift the snow...? Also it doesn't fit my screen;)) but that's not a big problem. Cool music!!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and your feedback! You have to dig the snow first, so hit space multiple times in front of a snow stack until an ice block appears. Then you can drag it to built your igloo :) 
For fullscreen you can click on the bottom right fullscreen-icon

Hope you enjoyed it anyway :)

Ah okay, now I get it! It seemed the ice cubes sometimes are hidden behind the snow so I didn't see.. Ok now it's fun! Quite difficult though, the igloo was melting all the time, I wonder how it looks when it's finished. Maybe you could make it a bit less difficult (make the night a bit longer perhaps?). However that's probably the reality for the penguins these days...the ice melting too fast. Good for bringing that to our attention! Love the mini penguins too :) 

Developer(+1)

Take care of the mean seals, they destroy your igloo ;) Hadn't enough time so i would add sounds to the seals when they attack the igloo. 
Again, thank you very much for looking closely at my game and your comments. I'd love to play your game soon!
