This game was absolutely nuts. Who knew freezing penguins to death as they panicked could be so much fun (I am a bad human being)?

As many others mentioned before, a proper instructions page within the game would be helpful. But overall, was a very funny game to play.

Thanks for playing everyone and yes , we ran out of time to add the "How to Play " section , which by reading all the reviews , would have made the gameplay quicker to grasp.

The absolute dissonance between the gameplay looking like something out of ULTRAKILL and the setting consisting of penguins running around squawking made me laugh so hard that I had to stop playing for a good 20 seconds or so. Nice going with the art!

I do think the game could use some instructions. Even something as simple as a "how to play" on the main menu would have been helpful. I did eventually learn how to play the game through trial and error (holding down the snowball button charges shots, penguins can unfreeze if left unfrozen long enough, etc), or at least well enough to win the game.

I have to ask though: how does the penguin AI work? At first, I tried chasing down the penguins, but it seemed like they would always strafe me if I got close enough. I eventually won by sniping them from long distances, which seemed to do the trick.

Thanks for playing , we do intend to polish the game further , after the jam ends.

Graphigs were nice. An idea: How about to make the game as a multiplayer

I had a lot of fun with this game! I could totally see this being multiplayer. The art was super cute and well done! At first I didn't realize the meter was a snowball charge (I thought it was my hit accuracy or % of penguins frozen), so I think you could add that to your itch page instructions. Overall, you all did a great job!

Thank You!!
