Iceburg by Piller Yann

made by Piller Yann for LD 38 (JAM)

This game has been developed in 30 hours: Saturday and Sunday, with a good night sleep in between. Be nice ^^

Story

In the small and [literally] unstable world of Iceburg, homogeneity is the key to social peace. When you, a fat and red penguin come to life, the community feels threatened in its foundations and need to react. How ? By slapping, pushing and killing you of course !

Will you choose to sacrifice yourself for the common good and take your life ? Will you fight for righteousness and open-mindedness ? Will you wait impassively until they finally kick you out ? Let's find out !

Pinguin biology 101

they can move (asdf);
they can jump (space);
they can slap (left mouse click);
they can't fly: falling of the platform is equal to a painful death;
moving too much make them dizzy. After a while (green bar full), it might make them puke fish (right mouse click) hard enough to eject others;
they are resistant, but have a limit in how much slaps they can take. Too many hits (red bar full) and they faint for a while.

Notes:

only big penguins (you) have motion thickness.
small penguins (not you) faint after only one slap.
penguins are stubborn: when they want something (your head), they won't let go.

Great game! I thought that it was really well designed and balanced. The animations were great and it was really easy to tell what the objective was. For being built in 30 hours this game was fantastic.

One thing that might be better is the camera. Sometimes the camera dipped a little low and it was hard to see the top of the ice burg.

Haha, great idea. I love the sound effects. Had a bit problems controlling the penguin though. I kept falling of the island.

Nice game. :thumbsup:

Funny, especially the lyrics in the intro. Might be cool to add a system to win levels or something to that effect.

Gorgi game! The music reminds me of the third man- on guitar. I found if I tipped the world like this, I could not die- meaning, the level of difficulty was extremely lower, not that I was invincible.

That was until I paused the game. When I unparsed. My character disappeared.

But I still couldn't die. Don't know If I was controlling my character, or what, until finally...

Amazing voice acting and incredible penguin genocide simulator
I give this a :penguin:/10

In all seriousness though, this game shows a lot of polish and has a Linux build to boot (yay penguins!)
Only thing that really needs improvement is the camera.

I absolutely love the graphics, must have been hard to design along with the animations in 3d! The theme obviously works really well (reminds me of club penguin) and the music goes well too. Overall, a fun and well designed little game!

EN - Very nice. Really good graphics and everything is very polished. Our game idea is similar, but our graphics are not even in the same league.

DE/CH - "Huregeil" sagt man in der Schweiz doch als maximales Lob... oder? Na dann "a Huregeiles Game..." Gruss aus dem grossen Kanton...

Do you write a sound with lyrics for this game? :D It's incredible.
I don't know how to win in a level, but I like the penguins, and the game has and awesome sound and graphics.

It's the game of Ludum Dare for me. Thank you.

Good Job!

I loved the game, slapping penguins for your survival it was fun!
One thing I could never do was to throw the fish, I pressed the button but nothing worked. Too bad I wish I could shoot fish!
In any case It was a blast to play. Good job!

Such a violent game! :D I loved the art and the music (I'll go on singing this for a while). The concept of the unstable iceberg is great, makes a big difference. Well crafted!

pretty nice. the graphics I liked the most, especially the icy backgrounds. gaming logic was pretty ok after the initial confusion of how the controls work.. penguins looked nice and there were lots of them...
