Great presentation! I think you'd gain a lot of legibility by simply making each penguin a distinct primary color -- or some other kind of visual differentiator -- so that you can keep track of who's who after you've done your initial stat-check. I'd also suggest that, given the consequence of under-feeding your penguins, their appetite might be better represented persistently, like a health bar, as hesitant as I am to recommend more non-diegetic UI -- maybe it could only display once their appetite is at a critical level? Anyway, incredible polish and charm. Great work, especially for your first ever game!

appreciate the feedback! I was actually going to add the different coloured penguins but bugs kept appearing to steal my attention, was also going to add waves and replace the mountains as well.
having the hunger show when critical might be a nice touch, or make them look more frantic, I kind of wanted them to actually get fatter the more you fed them but maybe I’ll add that in an update
