Nice game! It could get better if improve a little the controls
I like the idea here, and the shrinking ice platform is really cool. I didn't expect the whale to show up, either. It was really not fun until I realized you could hold the mouse down to fire continually, and then I wondered why you didn't just auto-fire all the time. Once I did that, it was more fun, and the upgrade system was cool (although with no penalty for dying, why buy health?). It was frustrating that I shot from somewhere left of my actual penguin, too - made it hard to aim sometimes. But a neat idea, with much more complexity than it initially seemed to have.
This could easily translate to something cool if polished more and added some new stuff to it.
I liked the difficulty curve, and at first I thought the game was done after the first death but noticed there's the upgrade screen, so I played a few times more :D
Liked the graphics, sound effects were okay, but it was missing a background track, which kicks the mood a bit. Overall, a fun game :D
Good controls, a nice mechanic of increasing risk / tension. Good rewards as well. It'd be good to have a bit more feedback when hitting the blimps, but good effort all round, the complete article!
веÑелÑе, и оÑлиÑное иÑполÑзование кÑоÑеÑного миÑ!
Only a few minor things that were confusing but I'm sure you know this. I played for some time and enjoyed it.
Cute concept! It seemed like some of the bombs took more hits to destroy than I could possibly fire in time, and I didn't appreciate the "purchase upgrades" feature, but I liked the variety of enemies and the whole idea of a penguin defending his iceberg. Not sure how he's shooting though. :p
I really enjoyed the concept, and the upgrades and variety in enemies were great!
Penguins! :) I had some fun with your game! I just want to know who the jerks are that are dropping bombs on a penguin who just wants to sit on an iceberg! :P
Very nice! Finally, a game that realistically depicts the sheer awesomeness of the penguins, and their struggle against nature's natural bombers, the cruel whales! :)
The controls are tight and very responsive, and the action is fun. I missed some more variety of enemies/dangers, though. And a two players version would be awesome: a seal and a penguin fighting it out for supremacy over the iceberg amidst a rain of bombs! Dramatic!! :D
Congratulations!
Cool one! Played it 'till I had the Gun lvl 3 and it rocked :-) Nice shrinking island idea. You can build on this if you ask me!
Wow! This type of game addicts me easily!
I loved to upgrade my penguin! =)
I liked the upgrade feature, it was fun :)
I'd like to destroy the zeppelins :P
I didn't understand what was the purpose of the red bar in the corner.
Penguin Power...I got stuck a lot though...Love the particles, nice penguin drawing too.
Cool little game!
I liked the upgrade feature. I imagine that the game would be very repetitive without it. It took a little while to figure out that youre not supposed to shoot the zeppelins though.
Still, good job.
I wasn't able to shoot the zeppelins, they just kept bombing me. :(
Neat game, but hard to play. I couldn't kill any of the airships (can you kill them) and it was hard to kill the bombs too. Also, a little hard to play with a trackball/no mouse.
It's fun! Reminded me of a newspaper story about curious penguins that look at airplanes with so much attention they end up falling on their backs.
Also, penguins and no linux version? What a tease. :)
