Penguin On Ice by Chlaxi

made by Chlaxi for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

Chlaxi's entry for Ludum Dare 54 with the theme "Limited space".

You are a penguin that woke up adrift on an iceberg. You don't fancy a swim, so try to stay on the ice! - Oh, and mind the fish!

Controls: WASD to move. Escape to exit game. M mutes the music.

Controls are a bit confusing. Took me a moment to get used to it. But once I got the hang of it, it was alright.
Graphics are okay. Cute and simple.
I liked the music. It's chill and sort of fits the whole icy theme.
I lasted 110 seconds, idk if it's good :D. Overall, it's a fun game.

I like this one! You have a solid foundation for a nice mobile game I think. It reminds me of the first game I played on the iPhone 3G that utilized Gyroscope. What would be nice is if the fish would hit the floor harder, but you have something on the level to latch on to, and maybe you could plan out where you want to move next as the board tilts the other way, which would add a bit of strategy I think 🤔 Either way, love the entry! Good job!

At around 90 seconds, I was beginning to wonder if it could go on forever, then a bunch of fish stacked on one side. I like that the fish shadows kind of hint at where you should walk next to anticipate the weight shifting.
