Really didnt catch the wave of the game, sorry.

Funny but fun game.

It was hard at first, but after while I was able to win it.

The concept is nice and fairly original, and though the tux concept is a trifle forced, it makes sense that a penguin would want to get fish. It's rather difficult though! I haven't gotten beyond 6 penguins or so.

very interesting idea, but the game screen was way to big for me, and it was a bit too much of a learning curve.

Seemed very buggy on my system, with the penguins sliding all over the place.
Couldn't get a tower of over 3 penguins built.
3 3 3 yes

seemed like it would have been fun, but you locked the screen size to taller than my screens maximum resolution will show so I couldn't play is since I couldn't see the bottom penguin.

Nice idea, but far too hard. I couldn't get more than about 2 penguins stacked.
3 3 3 yes

Screen was too big to play right.
2 2 4

Needs some sound, and it need to start slower!
2 3 2

tough game, very fiddly
3 2 3

Quick, simple, fun. The screen was a bit too big for my resolution.
2 2 3

cute little game.
2 2 4

Nice game. was fun but got a little too difficult i think.
The sprites are good, a little work on intro screen and finish screen would have helped. The Screen size was a little weird.. could not see the full screen :)
2 2 3

Would of been nice to have more in this game.
2 2 3

neat concept but hard to keep the wiggly penguins up.
A bit rough on the implementation
2 2 2

Cool of you to put all source in a single file, thats the way to go with one-week-competitions but it would have been even better wihtout that single ugly class! ;-)

I think the game is to hard, I can not get more penguins than 5-6 before it all falls appart. Grabbing the fish feels impossible.

The game worked for me, but was too large for my screen, so I couldn't figure out what to do. Consider screen requirements next time :)

Excellent game! I liked the simplicity of it, and how you focused on making something fun more than trying for flashy graphics -- for that, I give you props.
I liked the good physics that you got going with the penguin tower too -- it felt realistic, and I liked the wavey effects you could get with it. This was fun!
The control scheme felt a bit limiting, but perhaps that's what you were going for, because maybe if you had it be mouse controlled, it would be too easy.
I could see this being a fun game to play with a Wii controller.
Thanks for the fun game!
2 2 2 yes

cant see the bottom of the screen where the cart is
2 2 3

Pretty neat, I guess. It was kinda hard to grasp just how I'm supposed to position the cart to prevent the penguins from falling. The game gets old after about one play through, so it doesn't really have lasting value.
2 2 3

the idea is ok, but the game is not.
3 2 3

a bit too hard, but nice idea
2 2 2

Needs work.
2 2 2

uh.. yeah.
2 3 3

Irritating, but neat idea.
4 3 4

Nice game, but the way to the fish is faaaar to long ._. ;)
3 2 3

I enjoyed the game, but it was too hard. I couldn't get the fish!

It could definitely use sound. Music would be good.

I liked the instructions on the intro screen, it helped me get into the game immediately.

It definitely needs some easier levels to start with.

Thanks for being a part of Pyweek!

Felt a little frustrating because the cart control is kind of mushy. More direct control might be more fun.
2 2 3

The gameplay is interesting - something could be done to make it seem more lifelike and
natural, but at least the concept is sort of original. The game would benefit greatly from high
scores and some difficulty settings. I found the penguin disappearance rate to be pretty
harsh and make the game seem unrewarding. A mouse-driven interface might also suit the game
better.

You could add some easier levels (where the fish is not so far away) or wind for harder levels,
but all in all: A funny idea and a funny game.. (The game window is a little to big for my monitor,
btw.)

I thought penguins had a better sense of balance ;). Good game. I haven't yet caught the fish.
2 2 3

Too hard for me :/
The controls for the wagon made it seem pretty much impossible to reach the fish.
2 2 2

The tower mechanics seem pretty random and the cart moves either too slow or too fast.
2 2 3

That was too hard, how the hell do you keep em on? A bit of tweaking would have been nice...Also the "default" screen HEIGHT was too much for my resolution, so you should at least try and program to people's average screen resolution or give em a way to change it...
2 2 4

Penguins in a tower. What more could you want?
3 2 3

Nice entry. I had to modify the source to have the game's window fit in my screen, though.
4 2 4

Haha, fun! But hard.
1 1 2

Very boring
2 3 2

Well, I got the fish, so that was cool. The fact that the cart was somewhat difficult to control made it challenging, but not super fun. The game was stable and easy enough to play.
