This is a very interesting game idea, and I hope you are able to find enough time to finish it for the game jam, but I appreciate how hard it can be.
I really like that we can generate textures, image, and sound files in code.

Hopefully I will get something ready that I can submit
I made a low poly penguin just now.

Very temporary graphics, but here's a penguin on ice. Starting to doubt I'll have a game ready in time

... is that where the phrase, "skating on thin ice", came from... Tee Hee...

Hi all, unfortunately I will not be able to submit a game this time. The project that I was working on for it has turned out poorly, so I don't want to take it any further. Maybe next time......

Sorry to hear, it looks like a fun game in the video!
RE: Jam for All Basic Dialects #7 - Marcus - 03-20-2026
I might hop off too, because these penguins are just way too stupid and always end up group hugging eachother ...

If you remember the movie, "Happy Feet (2006)", grouping together was how they would combat the cold. Well done for simulating 'that' particular behaviour!

The tap dancing penguin, sure I remember it
They sink now. It could become an okay mini game if I manage to inject a slight will to live in the penguins (run towards center if close to the edge) and an attack (perhaps just a "bitch slap").

Nope, I won't be able to finish or submit anything, my weekend just got fully booked.
