Fun and challenging! My only issue is that the controls feel a little slow or delayed perhaps? Like sometimes I'll press a direction and it takes an extra tile to move that. Maybe give a few frames of grace and let the penguin turn even if it is slightly a past a tile maybe? Either way, still well balanced for what it is and I like the enemy types. Great job!
Hard game, but wins are super satisfying to pull off! The first level felt the hardest due to the learning curve honestly.
A bit too hard but very fun, nice game))
This was a TON of fun! As someone who grew up playing the original Snake and Bomberman the gameplay loop really clicked with me and was very creatively implemented. This got some real potential
Super duper hard but so much fun gameplay, nice entry! :)
It’s a bit too challenging for me. The shifting controls and environment often get me confused, and I end up dying before I know what to do.
Soooo hard! I tried my best but couldn't get through the first enemy. The turns seem to require a lot of anticipation. But I love the gameplay! ANd the idea is great! Would love to play it again! COngrats!
Kinda hard but I had a lot of fun
Love the chaos and the game’s difficulty is well balanced! :)
Well done! :D
this is extremely difficult but in a very fair-feeling way, i really dig it :D took me quite a bit to get past even the first enemy, but is very satisfying to get a huge chain of bombs to hit, great work!
I really enjoyed the fast paced nature of this game! Despite the chaos, I felt like the game was always fair, and that with enough practice, I would be able to beat every level consistently, as all of my many, many deaths felt entirely fair. I did get tripped up every so often forgetting that I couldn't do a 180-degree turn on the spot.
Really good idea, nicely difficult. Great work, and great use of the theme.
Really straight forward game to pick up and get started. I knew what I was doing within a couple of seconds and after a death or two, and the penguin has a lot of personality for something drawn as simply as it is. :)
Curious what changes you made to balance the game or to give off the correct visual warnings?
Penguin Hero had a lot of fun playing this! I thought it was a great implementation of the theme, and just the right amount of difficulty to be hard, but feel achievable and give that motivation to keep trying. Penguin Hero will remember this day for the rest of her life!
