Love the sliding penguin artwork, the music is also bangin'

Fun concept and a really nice art style. I love the color palette. You did an awesome job making the penguin stand out clearly, even though the background shares similar colors.

If I had one bit of feedback, it’s that it can be hard to see what’s coming up sometimes. A slight camera shift ahead of the player, or zooming out a bit to show platforms above or below, could add some extra polish.

Overall, I had a lot of fun with this one. I’m a big fan of these short checkpoint-based games where the goal is quickly reachable, perfect little dopamine hits.

Thanks so much for the review bro, Im super glad the penguin stood out against the background that was a concern of mine while making it! Yeah, we realized a bit too late the viewport was too small... Thanks a bunch for playing!

Cool submission! As others have said, I think a more dynamic camera or even just zooming it out a bit would've done a lot. I was getting confused. Loved the vibe and sticking to a consistent art theme. Cool color palette too!

breakcore penguin (i agree with other points that camera was a little too zoomed in and i didn't really know what i was doing)

Yessir lmao! Thanks for playing and the feedback bro, we realized a bit too late the retro viewport was a bit too zoomed in

Ok so the player controller feels REALLY good here. Definitely sells the sliding on ice feeling. The colors and music fit the mood of the game, which to me is all about this intense penguin stopping at nothing to get to the bottom. I agree with the other comment regarding some camera rework. I did get lost a bit but I always found my way back. The game feels a bit like a fever dream at times, but in a good way. That feeling of brute force sliding and jumping around while clobbering other animals lol. Good stuff!

Dude thanks a ton for the feedback, I'm really glad the mood felt right! We definitely would fix up the camera a bit if we had more time, it got a tiny bit cramped. Appreciate you bro!

Developer

as a slippery guy.. i like this title. I got lost on the map. Wasn't really sure if I was even moving in the right direction. Maybe consider reworking the camera(like in ours game :D)? But overall, good job guys.

Developer

Thanks for trying it out, agreed the retro style viewport made it a bit tricky to see at some parts
