The product of loose experimentation with penguins over a weekend.
Note: Scroll wheel adjusts camera sensitivity
WebGL note:
- Performance is unfortunately horrible in Firefox but appears to work fine in most chromium based browsers. - If you experience issues with the web player on Windows, I suggest just grabbing the desktop build (which also includes a minor shader effect not included in WebGL; sorry for the fuss).
I'm not sure if I played it right, but I kept trying to take the penguin elsewhere, but it didn't work, the evil penguins took over everything hahaha. I liked it, found it a bit crazy but fun idea
@zerolarih You played it correctly. The fault is mine. I accept full responsibility for the complete lack of penguin placement options and profusely apologize. The idea that you can pick up a penguin and not have the freedom to drop it anywhere you want is kind of ridiculous - any player worth their salt will pick up on it. Thank you for your nice words, though! (The rest of you as well. 🙏 )
@smidgens it's ok, I loved the art and graphics of the game, if you want to continue with the game idea for a whole game, can be really cool, a little scary but funny, you did really good work :)
Hi! I had a problem with the itch.io build. The camera was too intense and sensitive. The windows build works fine. Interesting exeprience, even if it's too short))
I was just vibing with my penguin to the music waiting for something to happen (did not see the E on the log as I was sitting on top of it). Was not disappointed when I found the end. Nice experience :)
@callmety The penguin vibing you describe is what we in *the biz* call *Procedural Penguinization*. It is absolutely intentional and not at all a result of a glaring absence of hints or poor design. -cough-
WHAT DO I DO WITH THE LOOOG XD The penguin screens are hilarious! Love the models had a fun time but got confused what to do with the log, climbed out of the mad from a tree and got lost :
I really didn't understand the direction. Even though I found the splashscreen reference and tonal whiplash funny, I am not sure what to make of it. I scoured around the couple rooms to see if something was hidden but failed to see/experience anything other than two rooms ready to surprise me. If there is something hidden... please give hint.... please.
The graphics, controls, UI, and sounds are great. :)
I got my girlfriend to play it. But she's not a hardcore gamer like myself and couldn't quite grasp the subtle yet complex game design concept of placing penguins on things. Once I carefully guided her through this step she has become a pro penguin placer and even managed to put the penguin back down on the original pedastal and, in so doing, doubled my own record for number of places I had put the penguin down! She also agrees it should be Game of the Year
In my first run, I was highly doubtful whether I played it as intended or not but, after several tries I got good enough to fall into oblivion from the cliffs. Jokes aside, the audio was great and I liked the dreamy post-effect. Nice job!
Played twice and read all the comments so I'm satisfied I didn't miss anything hidden... I hope! Really felt like I was onto something when I climbed up the level and checked behind it but nope, for sure? 👁
Regardless, fun and a little scary! Nice effects. Cool mood. Made me wonder... 🐧
Ngl cute penguin caught my attention so wanted to check him out :D I gotta say. First, I jumped from the jumpscare. Then, laughed out loud xD That was a fun little thing. And I liked the sensitivity adjustment simulator, too!
10 out of 5 for Humour. Reflecting the sentiment of other comments, I'd have enjoyed further penguin placement options, however the experience as it was summoned a deep uncontrolled belly laugh. 😆

All in all interesting experience and very nice graphics!

My stomach hurts so much I'm laughing!
So cute... and yet. Lala lala!
Really good idea and well done, congratulations!!
Oh! It works fine on Firefox for me.
