It's a nice game, even though it's a bit short, my uncle and I played it since he saw me when I was rating jam games, and for me it was very easy hehe, but for him not so much, we agreed that a little more contrast or colors would help with better spatial orientation, for everything else it was very fun, adorable character design, and very good music. and really admirable being a 3d game. which runs excellently in the browser.

Very fun game! I especially appreciated the vast expanses of the map which gave a flowy feeling to the experience, good work!
It's a good game, I think it could have used a bit more jumping and speed, but it's cool to see a penguin snowboarding.
Well done and very cute! the controls felt like snowboarding. had fun!
Cute! Played it twice, did get to 1:01 with all 15 flags passed. Smart choice for a solo dev!
While it's a bit of a shame you didn't get around to animating the character like you hoped, there is at least a bit of charm to t-posing penguin just sliding down the hill at mach speed on their snowboard.
Very solid game. Didn't even mind the length, as it makes replayablity quick and easy. Only thing I can think to wish for is the ability to correct your direction if it gets extremely messed up. But overall the way the controls work add to the charm.
A very nice and easy going game. I love the whole vibe, kinda wish I was able to do flip during the jump :P but still lots of fun!
The game was really fun !
The gameplay is really good and polished, easy to understand.
I loved the music.
Mabye more level for a post-jam version ?
1:03!
I loved the attention to the details in the small interactions and sound effects used, as well as the cloth physics used for the scarf. I had a lot of fun playing the game, although for some reason i was expecting to be able to turn midair (?) and I had a feeling there were too many checkpoints at the end. Great work!
I love the vibes of this game 🤤🤤 the gameplay is actually addicting and the art is so good (the music also fits supprisingly well). When playing i found decelerating was a little offputting at first and i always end up in the snow but after a bit i got the hang of it. All round an amazing game i love playing and will definetly come back to sometime!
I was not ready for the smooth jazz penguin hitting the slopes. But now it's all I want!
Fun game!
The snowboarding feels very good and it seems like theres lots of room to improve your time with skill.
Your transitions were super nice as well.
Great work all around!
I want more level!!! It's a very addictive game! can be polished a little more, but is very cool!
Short and simple game, with very smooth transitions and controls.
I would actually love to play more.
Well done!
This is great - there's stuff that could be fleshed out like background detail or character animation, but all the core stuff is really strong. The movement and controls feel really nice, the sounds and music are spot on, and the main little guy is such a cute design. My best time getting through all checkpoints was 1:10, and I kept wanting to try again. Thanks for sharing your game!
Thank you so much for the feedback! I totally agree, I would've liked to spend more time on level/environment design and animation, and had tons of ideas for fleshing out the level, but ran out of time in the end. I'm really glad you enjoyed it and wanted to keep playing, that's a great compliment! Thanks for playing!
This game was a short and sweet delight to the senses! Excellent UI in particular, but I loved the music and sound effects too! I only wish for more slopes/levels to play on, and I wish I could do a backflip on the big jump! Great job yall!!
