Rescue Mr. Penguin is a 2D Puzzle Game.

Your are Mr. Penguin and you are trapped on a big block of ice swimming somewhere in the wide ocean.

"Why trapped?" you may ask. Well Mr. Penguin has a tiny problem: he can't swim.

He has always been afraid of water since he was a little kid penguin.

But rescue is near! A ship has been sighted near the ice floe.

If you can make it to the ship you might escape.

The ice is very slippery and unstable though. You can't really stop once you started started moving.

To stop you have to make use of your environment.

Use your ARROW KEYS or WASD to move around!

FYI: There is an ingame Pause Menu (ESC/PAUSE/SPACE Key while playing) where you can mute the music and restart or even skip a level.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

It's my first submission to LD, hope you enjoy it ;) Please leave a comment and give me feedback what you like/dislike and how to improve the experience for the player.

Really great humor in there. The puzzles get consecutively harder, the curve here is done really well

A nice take on this kind of puzzle, although I feel it could use something to spice it up a bit.

Simple sliding puzzle game but I had a nice time. There are quite a few different little mechanics introduced throughout which is neat and keeps things interesting.

The gravestone caught me off guard the first time I died, so funny! The puzzles were all well designed and 20 well thought out puzzles is a tonne of content for a jam game. I had a lot of fun!

Level 18 was a whole lot harder than the following ones :P

Nice game. Although it would be nice with some faint grid indicators

The sliding speed was quite slow, but otherwise solid entry.

Congrats on making your first game! The puzzles were very interesting and kept bringing new mechanics to the table. The amount of levels were very impressive too!

Very nice entry, especially for a first go!

Nice mood. Lots of content for a gamejam! Some interesting puzzles. Maybe not the strongest match for the theme, but still a cool (haha, get it) entry.

Congratulations on the game, the puzzles are well done, a suggestion that you can work on a visual identity with professional animations and arts, maybe you can find an artist even here in ludum, and adding the works to become a commercial version in the future, very lucky I was happy to play your game, if you can give feedback on my game I would be grateful, a big hug.
