About the game
This game is about global warming and how penguins can deal with it. Explore space through the eyes of a cute little astronaut in this endless arcade game. The game was made by 3 friends with lots of love and passion, We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. :)
Known bugs
sometimes the jump indicator flickers for a second due to some floating value imprecisions. :(

Great job!
* nice intro and thanks for remembering a skip button
* jumping from planet to planet is a bit harsh in timing.
But then I find this game. Wow. You are my hero.
On a more serious note, the graphics and the audio are pretty good. Everything looks polished and very well done. The voice acting was pretty surpising, too.
The gameplay...
Well, maybe it's all down to personal preference but the way the player's ship moves confused the heck out of me.
@2lol555 thanks for the tip mate, glad you enjoyed it ^_^
@caeonosphere seeing a planet ahead is a really cool idea, thanks for the suggestion, really appreciate it. :)
@youkaidrawing I'm glad you loved the art style! :)
@sat9 Woooow, I'm so happy to hear that, penguins are hella cool! Maybe we communicated unconsciously the whole time! :) Yeah, the jump curve is definitely hard to get used to, we wanted a rage-game style gameplay, I think we may have over-succeeded.
I'll check out your entries as soon as I have the time to do so.
@skyrex wow, I'm so glad to hear that, hope you had a good time playing it! :]
@sadsmile @atillagallio thanks for the feedback guys! :) We know it's a bit difficult, but once you get used to the curve it gets better, I promise. :v:
Hope you guys had fun times playing it and again, I'll try your games as soon I can.
That early intro was amazing! Good voice acting and a funny story thing :D Also the audio was great, and graphics, and the game feels 100% polished and I couldnt find anything to complaing about.
Wonderful!
Penguins rock!! <3
And the references to climate change and humans not being so nice for the planet ...
Anyway, as for the actual game play: Nice sound! Cool graphics! Gameplay was a tiny bit hard for me, but then I was happy when I had managed a few jumps in a row.
I keep wondering, if it is just get as far as you can, or whether there is a secret ending somewhere. :)
I'm sorry to say that, but there is no secret ending implemented. We definitely wanted something like it, but the deadline was too tight at the end of the event!
