Super impressive! Started a bit slow, but once I had enough penguins to have them continuously perform their tasks, things went by a lot quicker. Just wish there was more to do with all the penguins, but other than that, I really enjoyed it!

Great job. I actually got a little sad when I got to 20 penguins and reach the ending. I was all ready to keep going.
Real creative transition, charming characters, and nice music to keep you going through the game loop.

Soulful SlideWow, I didn't expect a town builder! So cute as well! I will be waiting for you to extend the idea, that's for sure

Winter RoomI like those little penguins.
Fun game. Starts off a bit slow, but it picks up pretty quickly. The transitions were super creative, and the art was very pleasing to look at in general.
I look forward to the future of this project. I'm excited to see what the upgrades look like.

The Last SnowI had thought to start with 2 penguins, but i feel like it went by too quickly that way. We had other plans that we had to scrap to save time: a research igloo that allowed you to upgrade the penguins speed and carrying capacity, and a whole other resource to gather (snow) that would have been required for the igloos.
I can tell how much love was put into the animations, all of them were well done and incredibly adorable!

Powermelt SimulatorVery nice! I def need to work on my build order and up my fast igloo time.

Arctic AnglerAn incredible amount of thought and care went into the making of this game. While its rather short and limited, this is a standout amongst submissions. Gameplay worked well, the atmosphere was cozy and there was something extremely satisfying to the simple effective gameplay. I played it to max 20 penguins just to see the transition. Well done!
Delightful! The artwork is so cute and appealing and the little squeaky sounds the penguins make are so cute. The animation of the penguins fishing at the ice hole was my favourite. I also really liked the touch of the trails the penguins left behind them in the snow. I would love to see this more fleshed out, because after about 6 penguins there's nothing left for the remaining penguins to work on, and I want to see all my penguins running around lol. I also had a bit of a glitch where the penguins really struggled to pick up pebbles the more houses there were, and some pebbles would become inaccessible. Thanks for sharing your game!

SnowodoroThe was originally another resource (snow) that was going to be added, which would have gave more jobs for the penguins...which would have made it feel a little more lively. I actually added in the penguins randomly moving when idle towards the end to make it feel more lively. It felt really static originally
Very cozy and cute! Loved the gorgeous pixel art, music and sound effects, and the penguins were adorable! I liked just watching them waddle around. Overall it looks super polished, I was impressed! It would be cool to see more features added!

Penguin Snow Race!Cute art and animations. The start is a bit slow, but once you have your second penguin, the progression feels much more smoother.

Frog FrostOh it’s so cute! I don’t often play RTS’s because I often find them overwhelming, but this was a very simple and easily digestable twist on the genre! Adorable art and sounds. Absolutely loved it, great job on this one!
