Aw this looks cute. Adding to me to-play list
Here's another review: If penguins what to go up mountains then they should learn how to fly. :)
lmao relatable
Under 3 minute speedrun? This is just insane. :)
JK Thanks for the feedback. There definitely are quite a few weird inconsistent bugs that can make things annoying, and certain mechanics like delaying your boost after slide jumping to get more height could have been taught a bit better. You also taking a bit of a different path to the top than intended, so you probably missed some rooms that would have made the difficulty curve a bit less frustrating, but that cliff screen is really hard
Also the reason you couldn't double jump on that screen you were stuck on at 18:30 was because you were falling off the edge and then using your double jump in the air, sort of like the room at 13:20, so you weren't able to double jump again.
