One Direction by smnbackwards

[raw]
made by smnbackwards for LD28 (COMPO)
You are a penguin on an iceberg. Knock the snowmen off your iceberg by tilting the ice. You can change the tilt by rotating in One-Direction. Also snowballs. Don't fall in the water and watch out for the holes and the wind.

Goal:
Knock the snowmen off without falling off or in the holes, by tilting the iceberg or hitting them with snowballs.

Controls:
Space to rotate the iceberg, Mouse 1 to throw snowballs

First LD, first time using Unity, turned out to be a lot more fun than I expected, even if my game feels slightly underwhelming. Next time I wont try topdown art.

The way the iceberg rotates is very confusing to the eyes, a smooth transition would've been better. Background music also.
It's a good concept though, and if you can not get confused by the jerky 90 degree rotation its pretty fun c:

I agree with Flyinping5, it is a bit jerky.

Great idea! I would make the rotation softer but the game is fun to play! Great job! :)

If you have time, rate my game too! I would really appreciate it! :D (Mine is about penguins too, but they explode) :P

Good concept. I would've like to see a gradual rotation for the ice instead of 90 degree snap - think it could've made the game more dynamic and less confusing.

You should move the place of the score, at the bootom left, it's not very visible when we play.

Very original idea, I really liked it! As some folks already said, the smooth rotation of the iceberg would be more awesome!

Interesting gameplay mechanic, shame there's no audio.
