Of course the art is amazing, but that goes without saying. It's a relaxing game, though there is a lack of actual things to do besides matching icons to the cards. I love the take on the Penguin Party theme, since it was similar to ours. I also felt that I was losing more gold than I was getting from certain adventures, so maybe I was just playing wrong, but I couldn't know for sure.
Small note, the game launched in VR for me, so just disabling the VR setting in unreal would be ideal :) It's stupid that it's on by default so I don't blame you for not turning it off.
Overall, it's a fun game and with a bit more to do in it, I could see myself spending a lot of time creating the best penguin adventuring team ever!

Flippers of SteelVery cute! I absolutely love the art style. I kind of wish there was a bit more variety in the adventure view, but understand the difficult prioritization that has to happen in a jam.
Are the quest names procedurally generated? I found them very charming. Congrats!

A Penguin's ProgressThe art and audio are really awesome it's pretty impressive ! I feel like there may be a bit too many downtimes in the loop though, I often find myself just waiting for my party to come back so that I can send another one. Still it's a minor feedback in an overall great short game.

Igloo'scapadeThanks! The downtime is actually planned. It's there to give players time to read the penguin names, wait for better geared penguins, read their dialog and just chill out. We didn't want it to be fast paced. We had an idea for the fire to burn out over time and having to keep it going but it felt a bit too stressful for this type of game so we scrapped it.
I think more things to do during the down time would have helped though. We had plans to equip weapons and armor you earned from the adventures, but didn't have time to implement it. I think more management features would have helped.
Thanks for the feedback!
Cute, relaxing little incremental loop with fun art. Enjoyed it!
