Penguin Commandos by cudabear

[raw]
made by cudabear for LD32 (COMPO)
You are a commander in the penguin military, freshly promoted and sent off on your first task: clear out a nearby cave system of its violent inhabitants. Take on your group of penguin commandos: Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green. They may be stupid, overly-aggressive, charge headlong into combat, and die a lot, but they're your soldiers and you better like them!

You can't control your troops directly, instead you will need to corral them by blocking their movements and also the movements of the enemy.

There's no preloader or title screen, since I ran out of time unfortunately. But if you wait a little while, it will appear.

Good luck!

Very, very nice. I love this kind of game, and this one was very well executed. I did run into a bug where enemies wouldn't move, but this is not easy to code. Loved the little story, too bad the text bubbles appear below the crates :(. However I think you might've read the wrong theme ;).

Great work.

the gameplay was fun, if a little slow! I like the personalities you gave to the penguins :)

Wish I could command them a bit more, especially in the placement department, but good stuff nevertheless.

They seemed to like to chill together in the middle of an area (in second level especially) instead of actually guarding the barricades.
