Here is a very short puzzle game.

You control Archibald Von Penguin, and you're here to explore a mysterious Temple.

On a Gameplay side, you have to destroy every unstable platforms in a Sunken temple by jumping on them.
You don't have any jump button, your character will automatically bounce on anything.

Controls :
Move with the Arrow keys.
The aim is to get the right direction, and to put the right pression on each arrow to control the size of the jump.

I really enjoyed this! Got stuck on Level 5 though, can't see a route to get all platforms :( Great art sound and atmosphere! Had a lot of fun, cool game

Really fun little game, really cute graphics and cool mechanics!

Please tell me the slow down sound effect is the Dio "ZA WARUDO!" sound effect :laughing:

Awesome! Really like the idea in general, but sometimes it is not clear why do i fall off

Duskel4 Oct 2021, 23:31

Concept is fun, but plateforms are breaking weirdly sometime and it make the game hard to play :/

ZA WARUDOOOO! I love the idea! I am definitely not a puzzle game enjoyer but i did enjoy this game :smile: Congrats!

Hey there! Congratulations for completing the game. Nice graphics, specially the environment. I wish there were more levels with more mechanics! My only nitpicks are: I couldn't see the character at all, just its hat, and the platforms were sometimes reacting strangely if would hit it kind of in the corner or so.

Congrats again on the visuals!

I liked this one. It's a chill game, graphics are charming, music is fitting. Jumping sound effect could use some work (sounds more like a moving boulder than a jump sound), but that's only a small nitpick.

Very nice graphical style, interesting mechanic, a little tough to be sure I was where I wanted to be (same issue as platforming in an fps). Overall very cohesive, fun, and challenging game, great work!

Really nice ! The graphic style are so cute and the gameplay so fun, good job !
(My brain at the level 5 -> 🤯)

Overall a great quality game. Very polished could see it being on the app store with more levels! Great job guys!

Great idea of unstable platform! Love those adorable models and jungle like background music. How about adding hanging rope to swing by platform to platform?

Cute art and nice music. And it was really challenging. Well done!

jump sound greatest ahaha

what an addictive game, congratulations

Good game! I found the jump mechanics a bit complicated. I really liked the music and the atmosphere. I found the little pigguin Indiana Jones very funny

wobs5 Oct 2021, 23:50

Oh nice a fellow penguin game :D I really loved the puzzle aspects of the game and the graphics, very beautifully crafted!

The starting jump mechanics took a short while to get used to, but I figured it rather quickly out so that's not too big of a problem. Overall a very cute and atmospheric game, congrats on the great submission! :)

It's a cute little game. I really like the visuals, but the perspective makes it a lot more difficult to see where I'm landing and I keep clipping on the sides of the blocks. But, otherwise, completed it and had fun!

HelenAngel6 Oct 2021, 03:49

Really enjoyed this! Beautiful graphics & fun game play. Great work!

Great atmosphere and music, I liked the mechanics of the game. Nice entry.

love the tune! Also the game's difficulty is on point for me. Good job ^^

C'est lui Archibald Von Penguin? Ce serait le grand papy de Canardman?

llaumegui18 Oct 2021, 09:05

Nice entry ! I think it would be better if you give a small dropshadow to the penguin, it's kinda difficult to know where you're landing for the moment

Bravo les jeunes sinon !
