You might want to use just one key to interact instead of 'z', 'enter' or 'r'. Also, repeating the intro after every death got pretty old pretty fast - especially given that I died a lot :-)"},{"author_name":"Meep","author_uid":"2629","time":"May 3, 2011 @ 1:03am","epoch":1304384280,"text":"Yeah I meant to make it go to the mountain room but accidentally had it go to the first one. ): It was too late to fix it, but what I do is just use the quick restart (Press R mid-game) if I mess up early on. As for the single button thing, I never considered that before and might try it post-LD.

The temperatures on the mountain are dangerously cold, so you must take a little penguin with you. Its hug will provide the necessary warmth for you to embark on your never ending vertical voyage. If you get hit by falling icicles, the penguin will fall off your back and you must retrieve it if you hope to climb further.\r\n\r\nThe platforms are randomly generated as you climb, and the icicle drop-rate increases as you get higher up the mountain. Controls can be found in-game.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately I was again hopeless at making decent background music for the game. Hopefully the gameplay, art, and sound effects will suffice.\r\n\r\nThis is my third Ludum Dare competition. The theme was rather difficult for me, that by the time I came up with an idea I liked, there was only 22 hours left. Fortunately I was able to finish it, and I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out.\r\n\r\n<3 Penguins\r\n\r\nAdditional Controls:\r\nR (Mid-game) - Quick Restart\r\nF4 - Toggle Full Screen\r\n\r\n- Meep<\/p>","title":"Take This Penguin"}
