Not something you want to force people to do when they just want to play a game.\r<br\/>It runs quite abysmally as well, nowhere near playable FPS on my machine regardless on if I throw in libnoise or run it through wine.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Apart from that though, the gameplay is enjoyable and feels really solid. The art and sound is nice too, and the controls feel good. If you could improve the performance slightly this would be a very good game."},{"author_name":"mahalis","author_uid":"46778","time":"Dec 25, 2015 @ 4:45am","epoch":1451018400,"text":"Cute!

Takes some practice, but rewards with a warm feeling of helping a penguin.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Surprisingly, two-button controls are smooth and intuitive.
