Not bad! I like the art and especially music!
I do think the use of the theme could've been better but overall its not bad!

The art and music create a beautiful atmosphere! The gameplay is also fun even though it doesn't fit the theme of the jam much. It takes a while to figure out what you need to do but once you do it's quite fun. It has some bugs one of which was pretty annoying - I couldn't select some of the floating ice blocks and they just passed me by. Overall great entry!

3.. 2.. 1. Clean!I think utilizing the theme to its fullest is more about making the core game loop around it instead of referencing it. But that's more of a game design exercise and quite hard.
It's all just for fun so what's important is that you made a working game in 72 hours.
It turned out great so your team should be proud.
Thanks :) I understand, but for us, the interpretation of the theme is purely subjective and just forces the devellopement in one direction, and therefore, there’s really no “perfect” use of the theme, just more or less original ways of using it. But I understand that our use is not the most original ^^’
We love the idea of saving pingus. There's a bug (?) that pinguins just flying away sometimes when ice is cracking, and this is very tragic.
Great concept, nice entry, good job!

The Lost FrameOkay this has alot of potential I really enjoyed it, the use of the theme felt super unnecessary, it was almost like by adding more penguins Im just making it harder on my self, I think if you had it to where a penguin dropped every countdown without a choice that would have made it more of a requirement that I was attentive to it. The blocks breaking was cool, I would suggest making more come out more frequently so not only do I have some to expand, but replace was damaging and then its a puzzle of me just picking and choosing where they go! Over all I like what you have here its alot of fun!

Shape ReclaimThanks for your feedback! :)
We’ve been trying to balance the game, and if Pingus fell automatically, we think the game would be too frustrating. Adding more Pingus makes it harder, but it adds more points per second, and the total Pingus alive at the end also adds a lot of points. I understand that you want to get to the end with the minimum number of fallen Pingus, but it’s actually not the best strategy in terms of points! :p
For the replacement, we had the idea but abandoned it because we didn’t think it was necessary, but maybe it is :/.
For spawning, we thought it was a sweet spot, but in fact the RNG can make situations without blocks for too long :/
Its not letting me run the HTML5 version, its making this message pop-up: "
Error
The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing:
Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)
SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)"
I checked other HTML5 games using Godot and they worked fine, so i dont know whats making this different

Monochromia ClassicLoved your game, loved that with simple mechanics you achieved to make it deep in mastering. Visuals, are insane, really loved this waves, and penguins design. Only lack of matching UI separate it from greatness) And also you definitely needed to use high res image for main menu)

Shape 'em AllThis is a nice concept, I actually felt bad for the pingus when they did fall off, then again they are penguins they should be able to swim. regardless the game was fun, the art was great, and the music/sound effects were pretty good, there were stretches of time where I got no blocks and while I assume it's an rng thing I gotta ask why does that happen?

GeomeTrick!I ran into a bug there the penguins wouldn't fall... the countdown started, but other than that nothing.
In the end, only ~8-9 penguins dropped.
I later than into an issue where I went ~25 seconds with no ice.
Not sure if these things were intentional or not, but ignoring these two things the idea was super neat.
The concept was pretty unqiue and played out really well too. Great submission!

Coal StoryThanks for your review :)
About the Pingus drop, it seems to be a bug, but it’s the first time it’s appeared :/ I’m sorry about that. Did you see the tutorial? You have to right-click to choose where Pingu drops.
About “About 25 seconds without ice”, yes the randomness of this mechanic can do things like that. I can improve this by adding a maximum limit between two spawns.
about 5 penguins fall from my boat i am bad at this game but reali nice i like pinguins graphike
