I really liked the soundtrack!

The controls are so clunky that I actually only got through 2 levels before getting too frustrated :/

The rag doll effect is so funny though!

Otherwise, nice work. Hope you had a fun LD experience =)

Interesting game, although it was a bit hard to navigate without being able to see a whole lot of the map at once. Still, a novel idea!

The music's great and the slipping effect is hilarious! The controls are a bit difficult to use, though. Overall, great job!

Nice game. Some suggestions:
1) I wish I have minimap or zoom out to look around area
2) Maybe penguin can have some special ability (for space button) like fast sliding or so.

Great humour, good audio. Bit sticky to control with the jumping but a nice little puzzler here. Great stuff!

Utterly ridiculous and utterly fantastic story! Thanks for playing/rating our game, sorry it crashed on you. We've informed our crack team of bug fixers. -t

Really fun! Maybe it's a good idea to inform visually whether the player had grabbed the mirror

Great game! The idea was smart, and I really liked the puzzle solving aspect of it! That made the game really fun to play. The storyline was really funny and interesting, and the soundtrack was good too! There was a slight buzzing noise in the music, not sure if that was intentional, but if it isn't then that is something to look into. Other than that I really liked the music and the voices lol!
Grabbing the mirror and moving it to where I wanted it to be was a little hard. But overall awesome job! :)

+1 for werepenguins! The entire thing kind of gave me a PS1 vibe for some reason. Perhaps it's one of those quirky fun ideas it worked best with =p

This is an interesting game concept but the controls are a bit hard! It's fun, good graphics and nice music!

I really like the concept behind this, and how the theme was used! :) I would say, though, that the controls were a little bit hard to use, but overall, nice entry!

Nice idea! Found the controls a bit difficult to operate - I would preferred to have the mouse position to control the orientation and wasd to move in that direction and maybe have the camera at a slight angle, not at a birds eye view. Overall good game though!

Interesting concept, love the audio. That ragdoll effect never gets old, love it! Movement felt a bit off, the waddling penguin didn't help either.
