I really liked the fluid 8-directional animations for the penguins and the overall art style! :)

Cute fun little time! I think the enemies wind up walking into water a tad too often, but otherwise I enjoyed it!

First enemy turn, one of the evil penguins went full jihad and blew themselves up along with one of my guys. My sole survivor ended up impaling themselves on some spikes. 10/10

I love this so much. The music, the vibes, the mechanics. I ended up throwing the bomb over and over and did more damage to my penguins than the enemy penguins but still fun!

Exploding penguins has never felt more fun.

Cute penguins and explosive chaos - what's not to love? The wall bounces are so satisfying when they actually hit. Great arcade feel!

That ice sure was slippery. I was making fun of the AI until I tried to move myself.

Really cool game. Turn based fun with unpredictable movement. I love this!

This game is a lot of fun and has some absolutely hilarious moments. It's a really fresh interpretation of what is otherwise a pretty well-trodden genre (turn-based tactics). The music fits the vibe well, and it was fun just watching the enemy penguins make crazy moves. Agree with some of the other players that more clarity and onboarding could really help. I mostly won levels because the enemy penguins would accidentally wind up in the water rather than me making a good decision. But honestly, there's a lot of potential here. Great work!

Reminded me of old good worms, AI is great it's not easy nice

Really cool concept. was blown away on how good the AI was. The shooting mechanic was quite confusing, maybe a tutorial level would have helped. The text on controls didn't help much. With some polish this can be amazing!

This idea is so sick and almost there! I think the throwing mechanic was pretty confusing, was having a hard time with it. Also the AI killed itself in my matches lmaoo. Very cool concept though. I bet you could make something really cool with a little more time.

Cute penguins! I had trouble figuring out how to get the throwing controls to work in a predictable way, but I enjoyed playing this.

This was such a cute game. The AI was a little random but the mechanics were incredibly fun and I this felt like a classic early 2000s arcade game you would play with your friends for hours in the computer lab. Loved it!

I love these crazy flockers! Great concept and execution. Nothing quite as satisfying as getting a snowball to bounce between an enemy and a bumper several times in a row.

Blue penguins wins by doing absolutely nothing. 
Very silly game. 

I felt like moving and throwing was actually more dangerous than just ending turn and letting the enemy penguins kill themself. 

Submitted(+1)

Very fun! The penguin animations and sound effects are perfect. This game really makes you feel like a penguin. Great use of the theme and again: SUPER FUN!

I love this game! :) I had an awesome time throwing a bombs and taking a swim. I'm a big fan of the over the top wall bounces and it leads to some funny interactions. This game is SLICK. Great work!
