How does your game represent "Slick"?
To gather funds to purchase his first home, our protagonist enrolls in a legally-dubious mountain race against a colony of penguins. Desperate to gain an advantage, he calls upon teachings gained during past culinary experience: butter is slippery; and if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.
The main character uses the slickness of butter in order to assist him in winning the race. Slickness is a core part of the game as, without it, the other racers (penguins) are significantly faster.

fun and short, very slick man
Short and sweet. The butter trail felt real...
Thank you for changing me
Racing penguins down a mountain has never been slicker! Nice job on this one! The animations and art style is great.
Dayum gramps thick af
slick/slick
A very slick race, to be sure.
The movement felt pretty good as you weave around the obstacles, but the bounce back off of stuff and randomly generated environment made victory feel heavily luck based. Hopefully you don't get caught in a little pocket of obstacles...
That being said it felt good to get my win and hold my trophy aloft, I am the best penguin confirmed!
Ty for the feedback! I’ll think I’ll be using brown noise with a simplex mask for more even obstacle placement next time, glad you still enjoyed it!
BRO’s CHEEKS ARE OUT O.o lmaoooo sometimes i had trouble keeping up and had to restart but i enjoyed the game nonetheless
the first 5 star all around :)) love it
I would add that this activity is not only legally dubious but morally dubious as well. I feel like R to restart should be an option throughout the game, as sometimes you just get destroyed by butter-spawn rng. Also how come the penguins dont wince in pain when they slam headfirst into a rock/tree? This fits the theme really well and I could not stop playing until I beat those damn penguins!
That was the best legally-dubious mountain racing against a colony of penguins game I ever played!
It's the butter than binds us! Nice job fitting the theme, I hurt my knee several times
Well this definitely fits the theme lol. I dig the character design and the crashing animation. I would say the game is fun but I had to restart the first time I played because I got tree locked.
Ty for the feedback!
The goofy concept and art style really reminded me of the WarioWare games, and I liked it! Good job! :)
High praise! Ty!
Very funny game. Loved the peter griffin pose when he was forced to stop. Controls were very smooth.
Man uses butter to give himeself the edge on the penguins, very smart. Had to keep playing until I winner.
The art is a lot of fun
<3
Best game i ever played. My grandchildren will hear about this.
I love the animations and the graphics! I kept confusing left and right because I was putting myself in the slickest man's shoes (his left is right from player perspective
Jam winner for sure
