The animations and transitions are so smooth, great job! The game is fun too, though it's challenging. I feel like there's just no way to save a penguin sometimes. But it works, I wish there was a more interesting way to arrange the ice, but it very much suits the theme. Good one!

This game is incredible! So much attention to detail and polish! The gameloop is really fun, I spent a lot of time trolling the penguins purely because how much effort went into the visual effects of penguins falling in the water. Great work!

Shape EscapeI really liked the presentation of this work—the reflection of the penguins on the ice, the water effects, and the images in general are excellent! The gameplay is very good; it's fun helping the penguins navigate the paths and avoid breaking the ice, although... I must admit my penguins went through a lot of pain xD!

Psychic ShaperCharming game! The UX is great the art is fantastic, all of the cute little animations of them falling over and sliding is adorable!
The gameplay is simple, fun and rewarding!
Maybe add a leaderboard or something next time as i can see this being fun to compete with other scores!
Great job and good entry!

Scale The SlopeThis is a very lovely game! The artwork and animations are fantastic. It's difficult to get the hang of. There are just so many obstacles being thrown at me when I'm just trying to get the hang of resizing the ice. I eventually did start playing a little better, but this game could probably benefit from an "easy" level. Overall, this is a wonderful game that you should be proud of. Well done!

Harvest Henry's Pumpkin ParadeLiked the gameplay but daamn that's so hard to grab penguins.. they take their lives to go to the middle of the plateform, i keep being hit by monsters and ice :( great game tho

Doom's DayPenguins are a tad bit too slow, which made it a little too hard. Style is awesome, is very well polished! Great job!

Plop-n-stop WaterwaysThe penguins are so cute! But they are too slow and keeps falling into the water lol. Great and polished game with "cool" concept as well (pun not intended)

Astronomical AssemblyGreat SFX, music, art and game concept. Very polished. :D
My suggestion would be if you separate the penguins by their colours would be easier than the scarf.

Purrgatory TowerCute game that is fun to replay multiple times. One small complaint I have is it seems like if you hold the ice platform out to long it'll go back to normal but there is no indication it's about to do so. I don't know if its intentional or not but if it is it would be nice if it shook a bit or something before doing so to let you know. Otherwise I really like the game and the penguins.

Antarctic AscentAwesome art style and color palette!We really love the gameplay loop! Its so creative take on the theme! Awesome job!

Shroom BlasterThis game is awesome and reminds me of an old flash game (it also made me nostalgic for Club Penguin). It got REALLY hard towards the end, but that might just be that I'm not good at the game. 😅
I felt like I should have had some kind of penalty whenever a penguin fell into the water, maybe a second or two taken off the timer. Just an idea if you plan to update the game in the future. 🙂

Higher HeightsI'm not the best at games like this, but it was fun! There was a small bug with the music where it would go silent when the flat ice gets hit for the first time, but other than that it's a really solid game. Good job!
