Arctic Escape by UnitedFailures

[raw]
made by UnitedFailures for LD 42 (JAM)

In Arctic Escape you play as a penguin trying to reach a liferaft to evacuate a collapsing iceberg. Each step the penguin takes causes the ice behind it melt away. Every step you take causes the ice (adjacent to the water) in the opposite direction to break. You must navigate around the map to reach the goal while regarding how the map will shift with each step.

What a cute game. Fits the theme really well too.
Although I think some of the levels are impossible? maybe I'm just dumb, but I couldn't figure out level 3 or 5 at all. Oh and maybe don't have the tutorial show up on every level, it gets a little tedious. Other than that though, nice job.

You made some really good levels! Needed some time to figure out that a lot of stuff is bait :D The controls of the menu could be improved though, but had a lot of fun.

Nice retro feeling game that fits the theme perfectly. I like the choice of winter and melting ice I didn't get any sound but a good choice of free music would definitely add to the mood of this. I found the puzzles difficult to work out and was guessing a lot. Pleasant little game well done! -RS

This is a really good game! I had a similar idea, but I think that yours works really well and captures the theme much better. I find that the 6th level was much harder than the 7th, which is supposed to be the final one, but still a great game

Nice game! Played until level 5, then it get's hella harder.
Maybe you should make some navegavility from 1 level to the next.
Great job :)

Cute game! i beat it!! https://www.screencast.com/t/a3sW0hq8 ah hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Loved the speed at which your guesses and calculations could be made. The level just before the last was definitely the most difficult and really rewarding when you finished it. Nice job!

The puzzles are really well made, gave up after level 5, it got way harder then. The only thing I'm missing is a next level button, so I don't have to go back and then select the next level in the level select screen. All in all a great entry!

Nice game! The lack of sound kind of diminishes the experience but otherwise it's very well made :)

Great puzzles! Art style and mechanics are nice~ As the others, I got stuck after level 5 :sweat_smile: And I'm also missing a next button, but that's details...

Cheers!
