You play as Pengy the Penguin.  You live on a patch of ice in the middle of the ocean.  There are lots of hungry Walruses around, luckily, you have plenty of curry!  Feed the walruses and they will leave you alone!  Do it quick before they eat all of your ice!  Don't get caught on a collapsing piece of ice!

  • - USE ARROW KEYS TO MOVE AROUND
  • - PRESS Z TO THROW CURRY
  • - FEED THE WALRUSES BEFORE THEY EAT ALL OF THE ICE AND YOU RUN OUT OF SPACE
  • - IF YOU FALL IN THE ICE, YOU DIE. YOU HAVE 3 LIVES
  • - WHAT LEVEL CAN YOU GET TO?

This game was made for THREE DIFFERENT GAME JAMS!

This game was created in less than 48 hours for LUDUM DARE 42. The theme was "Running out of Space".  The walruses will eat the ice if you don't feed them, thus you run out of space on the ice!

It was also created for LOWREZJAM 2018. It was made with a resolution of 64x64 pixels!

It was also created for A GAME BY ITS COVER 2018, a jam using the Famicase Exhibition as inspiration! I made my game based on this cover by Shiratama. The optional theme was CHILL, which my game fit perfectly with.

GRIPES:  I am overall pretty happy with this game.  I think it could use more balance, I'm not really sure if it's too easy or too hard.  I was going to add a mechanic to add ice back to the playing field, but ran out of time.  I also added music and sound to this game, which I usually neglect, I'm not really happy with the sound, and I would like to learn how to make better music/sound in the next jam.  Lastly, my code is a mess, please don't look at it. :)

I hope you enjoy the game!

Fitting for the theme, the low rez jam and the cart. I was a bit boring at level 5 and got way to hard at level level 6-7 but I enjoyed my time with it
