Defend the Surface by zeal

[raw]
made by zeal for LD29 (JAM)
Press any key to PLAY. Hold the key to hold the ice rock, lift the key to drop it.

My second Ludum Dare! All in all this is a five hours of work originally meant for the compo but I didn't make the compo deadline. Hope you all enjoy this little game!

I couldn't make any sense of this. Nice art style though.

Thanks! I should have included the instructions with the game. You press any key when you need to speed up. Press any key when the Inuit guy is touching the ice block and lift the key only when you are right above the penguin to eliminate him so he cannot get into your igloo.

Not so easy! I especially like the penguin sound.

Cool, nice variation of the "one button" game. Was a bit too hard for me, however... Those damn penguins! :)

Interesting gameplay, but probably need more of than just one mechanic. Good job!

Difficult, but kinda fun. I'm a big fan of penguins and this made me sad :( 8/10

I have no idea why I enjoyed this so much haha

The controls just seem in that nice place of easy to pick up but hard to master! Nice art style and fun game. Great design as it is addictive!

A fun game because it's so damn weird. Protect the surface from penguins using ice cubes? Looks good, and it took me a while to get a good score. (7 is my highest by the way.) Good job for only 5 hours!!

Nice submission, controlling the player felt a bit odd, moving and picking up then holding the button threw me off for a bit.

Art is cool but a little explanation would be good. I was a bit lost what to do. But still a fun game

The game gets boring after sometime. There could have been some power ups or stuff like that.

Pretty decent for the time you put in. Kinda hard to get the right drop when you move that fast.

This one made me laugh - simple controls, and ridiculous graphics and sound ;)
