I got stuck on level 13… It was really fun though. Good work!
If you don't mind me asking what is your process for making a game like this in such a short amount of time with so much polish? I thought my game concept was simple but I could only manage it in close to 6 hours.
Oh my god the little squeak when the penguin jumps is so cute I CANNOT STAND IT
huff.. huff...
Okay, now that I have that out of the way, I can talk like a sane person :D
This is great! The art is polished and reads extremely well, with a nice tileset and a good palette. The animation on the penguin is very, very good. The level design is also excellent, with a smooth ramp up into the difficulty of the later levels. When things got frustrating, the cute squeak of the penguin kept me going!
Excellent job!
Hey there!
Great entry. It's breathtaking to think you did all of this in such a short amount of time.
Personally I felt like the controls weren't as tight as I would've loved them to be. It easily happens that you slip ahead when you didn't intend to. The amount of levels is insane. How did you manage to do that? Damn!
One of my personal favorites in this jam, well done.
First of all, I love the animations I was hooked from seeing the polish on the main menu. The graphics are okay for 3 hours and the gameplay is solid. Outside the box thinking is required for some levels which makes it stand out. Good job!
Great game, such a simple but profound mechanic you used as your twist! I managed to find one of the shortcut solutions :) My time was 5:29
Great pixel graphics and crisp gameplay. I can't believe you had time to do that many levels!

5:55 bee tee dubs. EAT IT!
Amazing game! I had a time of 11:32 with 130 retries. It's so addicting, and the penguins so cute!
Oh boy! I love games!
This was really fun and pretty polished! I can see real work put into this one despite the time limit! Your theme made it fun and interesting, I liked how certain levels that look impossible can be made simpler and how other levels expected you to learn from that so they still weren't easy despite knowing the twist!
I hope this gets placed pretty high!

I really liked how you implemented the twist into the game !
Really like it!
It was fun to see the "twist" of the game and the level design made it even better!
I think the only complain is that the movement feels aa bit slippery but I think there should be ice on the ground so it fits I guess :D
7:53 with 147 retries. Great Game!
Loved everything about it. The music, the sprites, the sfx. It was amazing how the mind interprets there being limitations that aren't there and easily sets itself on one path without considering the alternatives.
