This is the game about the Penguin who tries to protect his life and his iceberg from evil invaders!
Both enemies and the hero have weapons that increases the target weight as they hit.
Be wary, as ice crumbles beneath your feet and size is the matter of survival. Bigger you get, faster you sink.
You can run to reduce your mass.
Watch your weight, push out your enemies, save the penguin and his iceberg!

I really like how clever the gameplay is and how you managed to do something rather innovative, even if the game-type itself is so ancient. I love the story and setting, and the art is adorable. Even the Penguin-HUD deserves a gold-star for being so innovative.
The only thing I didn’t like with this game is the annoying choice of music. I didn’t feel like it was fitting at all and it was so annoying that I actually had to take my headphones off.
By the way, score is 188.
Seriously though, this is a VERY solid game! There's a seam strat: be careful where you shoot your enemies, make a big hole in the middle and just juke orcas and bombs into falling through those. Easiest 250 points of my life :D
One thing I'd alter would be restart screen, it breaks the flow a little bit.
Nice art and music as well!
nice gameplay!
Pathfinding needs work, though, it's really easy to trick the enemies into falling off.
And nice graphics! Good job!
