Fun and addicting gameplay loop. I also love the artstyle.

This game is very charming and hilarious, very quickly ran into a bug where I just left the arena, where I then just decided to watch the show, which then got really intense. But actually playing the game was also super fun! Dope game!

These penguins are so cute!!! The chaotic nature is crazy addictive. Nice work (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Penguin suicide-bombers were not on my GMTK Game jam bingo card this year.
Adore all the 3D models - very cohesive style and they fit well with the post-processing effect. The chosen UI font and design also fits this style nicely.
Gameplay was easy to grasp, fast-paced and fit with the jam theme and the whacky visuals perfectly. Lots of juice, feedback and sound effects every which made everything feel very polished. Impressive work for a solo-jam.

Played the mobile version. It ran pretty well all things considered. Anyway, really fun game
Loved how the explosions felt. The visual style in general was really crunchy. Same for the character models. The 3D voxels really looked cool
I liked the overall gameloop of needing to throw the dynamite before it explodes. Especially loved the penguin enemies that shoot at you. They had you make some pretty quick split-decisions to choose between the penguins and the normal dynamite since the penguins also shoot at you.
That said, I think the penguins needed some sort of animation or something when they shot because I could never really tell when they would shoot. Along with that, I don't really get why you grab dynamite and the penguins since you seem to throw them in random directions afterwards. I think it would've been better if you could throw the dynamite at the other penguins outside the arena if you wanted to have the grab. If not then it would probably be better to just kick the dynamite or penguins then and there instead of grabbing and throwing.
All things considered, I'd say that this was a cool and fun little game. Good stuff
Oh I would love to see this as a proper mobile game, responsive and I liked your art direction. My only feedback is I wish there was more than just bombs and penguins with guns. Nice work!
hooooh super fun chaos! i like the style a lot, crossy road vibes, good work!
I think this is the smoothest and best looking 3D game i've seen in this jam! While short it is very repayable and really fits the theme. Ultimately really fun and cool to watch you run around and see the bombs explode, well done!
Cute graphics & sound! It's always fun to play a game that has penguins!
I wasn't able to stay alive more than a couple seconds, though. 🤷♂️
Fun game!
I also experienced the bug where I glitched through the wall, but enjoyed throwing the bombs away from my chickens nevertheless!
I couldn't get it to run on firefox, it kept crashing my browser but it worked on Edge. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well done!
Our games both have penguins and bombs but are otherwise very different! Yours is very cute, although I'm afraid the results screen usually lasted longer than my actual attempts >_<
Cursed game idea, but I really enjoyed it! I loved the perspective and the fancy art style! :)
The game didn’t run in Firefox at first, but it worked in Google Chrome instead.
Very funny game ! Liked a lot the design and the rythm ! In one of my playthrough I glitched through the invisible wall and was stuck with the throwers outside of the chicken pen…
I like the vibes somewhat crossy road game which is a plus for me.
