:penguin: **Thanks for feedback!**
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Eat feature only added for fast remove if you pick wrong fish
Also you can return fish back to you again, if you collides with penguin that holds fish :)
:penguin: **Thanks for Feedback!**
@astrocookie Can you tell why controls are complex? What causes problems?
this was penguin club
after a long time I read that these are supposed to be my enemies, they surely dont look like it, I thought they were friends and I had to take the fishes to them
:penguin: **Thanks for Feedback!**
I didn't know about penguins club, but I like it, must check now) :punch:
Thanks, I am really appreciate it
This penguins is just hungry :D Don't judge them, you will do everything when it comes to survive like they do
:penguin: **Thanks for Feedback!**
I added some fixes and hope it helps
@chompdev Wow, it's interesting idea, i didn't think about edge dash, I need to try on my own)
@zeit You rock! :)
P.S. Not sure how to flip the iceberg.
The loop is very intuitive, it's clever of you to put the color of the direction, display the keys and have the fish picked up automatically. For me despite the difficulty, these smart details make the game very accessible and it's great
Stealing the fishes back is a bit hard to get used to.
I did not find any bugs. I will recommend your game to my friends. I liked the game very much.
:penguin: **Guys, you all rock! Thank you for your feedback!**
I think it would help to know where the fishs are (all the time).
I would prefer to throw the fish instead of push the penguins (but it can be just me).
Good job!
I like the low-poly design of the penguins and they look so CUTE with the fishes in their beaks! Such a great concept too, I bet a lot of people are kicking themselves for not thinking of it! Great work!
It was a little hard at first, as the other penguins immediately took the fish as soon as I encountered them. As I understand it, in such cases you need to have time to quickly use the dash and not to forget about, but it was not clear how to replenish the charge, there is not enough tutorial more than just specifying the keys
But once I figured everything out it was pretty fun, great job!
I loved running away from greedy penguins and watching them fall in water while they were trying to catch up with me to eat my fish. I also tried to bring them to the fish reserve thinking they'll be happy to eat the fishes there, but they only wanted MY fish. So I drowned them.
It's always nice and useful to see a live reaction of acquaintance and gradual understanding of game mechanics.
- I find it really harsh that the entire game resets when you land in the water and it quickly kills the fun for me. Perhaps tying "game over" to another aspect, such as having too many open deliveries left at the end of the day would be better. This would
also allow you to remove the penguins from despawning, which is really annoying.
- Some of the mechanics, such as you being able to take back fish from penguins, aren't very clear.
- Your art and music is fantastic.
- Impressive that you got an upgrade system working, that stuff takes time.
All in all a good submission, great work!
:penguin: **Thank you all for Feedback!**
I'm glad that you all had fun, I hope you really enjoy it.
I am listening to all the negative and frustrating moments of the game (positive too xD ), and I will try to find the time to make a small but improved version of this game based on your reviews for mobile platforms, also I want to run it smoothly in mobile WebGL. I think that's where this game must belong :) (maybe do, it all depends)
Here’s the stream if you wanted to re-watch initial thoughts (timestamps in the description to jump to your game!) [youtube link](youtu.be/jljB3XXZHcg)
- I thought eat replenishes my charges, and took a moment to realize it's a "get rid of the fish you're holding so you can pick up another one" button
- Grabbing the fish back from the thieving penguins could be a bit finicky
- LMB "Push" says hold but it seems to do exactly the same when just clicking. Unless there's an upgrade I missed?
- It took me a moment to realize there's a timer, I think it should be a bit more visible (brighter color, and maybe a number of seconds remaining)
- Since this is ice we're talking about, it would be cool if you gained momentum as you go forward
- Falling in the ice resulting in a total game over was a bit too much
- I took a moment to realize the colored dots meant "deliver here", I think they should be arrows with penguin next to them
Still, a fantastic submission. Congrats :)
Really nice job to you! :smile:
Overall, I had a blast playing it. The low-poly graphics are adorable and the music is so calming. There are even upgrades you can get to make your deliveries easier. The only downside was that it was a bit hard to figure out at first, especially with some of the mechanics like grabbing the fish back from other penguins and using the "eat" button to drop your fish and pick up another. But once I got the hang of it, it was super fun and addicting. Definitely recommend giving it a try!
** :penguin: Guys, Thanks all of you for feedback! **
I'm glad that you really enjoyed playing our little game :)
I didn't notice the time bar before the second day, i wish it was a little more visible. I don't know if it's my screen or if it's because i didn't play in fullscreen but the money is practically above one of the amelioration for me so i can't buy it.
Overall it's a really good entry to this jam, good job !
Had quite a lot of fun getting a bunch of enemies following me then leading them into an ice break rather than pushing them in - but definitely got a bit too bold with it once or twice and just ended up falling in myself!
I especially enjoyed getting rid of the greedy penguins
