Hehe, like the twist with the sacrifices to this genre of games, maybe add some running animations for future implementation :)

Very interesting take on the theme! A bit disappointed by the lines of your family, they didn't sound really convincing and kinda ruined the feels for me. Keep up the good work!

Nice entry, fits the theme. There is, however, one thing that I don't really like and that is that it's the choice between game over and continuing, nothing halfway. I do understand that from the story though, but it's not really a choice. There also seems to be a bug with the water gap. Other than that, nice casual game!

Its a nice game idea imo, but it would be even better if the player really has to choose. Currently you just have one option otherwise the game ends. Keep it up :)

I found the background story a really nice touch to your game,as well as the end screen animation. It kind of made the gaming experience a little bit more cute and involving to experience!
For further changes it would be maybe cool to give each penguin an own design and maybe more dialogue options.
