6/10 | Cute | Cozy | Wholesome experience but short. This game was incredibly cute and adorable! Great for a short little YouTube video OR experience in your downtime. You play as a penguin who is simply looking for your colony of other penguins after an avalanche event. It was genuinely quite enjoyable to play HOWEVER there is no guidance or really any concept other than the above. It's just very simplistic. A bit too simplistic perhaps? The music was absolutely gorgeous too, cannot complain in the slightest there. I do think if the developers had added achievements that'd increase the overall rating for me slightly & perhaps a few more levels/side quests or something. There's always room for improvement so who knows! Maybe they've got more to come in the near future. As for now, I'd recommend this BUT please be warned it is VERY short. Devs, if you do read this, you've done a great job but please consider adding more. I NEED more of this cute game.

Definitely a cute wholesome game, I had fun figuring out what the penguins needed and were saying to me with their emojis. I also enjoyed how each level has its own objective that is different from the first. It kept it engaging despite the same mechanics. And the last level was very fun getting to purely slide with the music and all the friends met along the way. 10/10 for the Elephant Seal's top hat I hope the game gets more hype!

As someone who's not a big gamer this was a great first game. I got invested in the characters and environments it honestly made me a bit emotional. I did get stuck a couple of times but it may be due to my skill level. It's a very beautiful game that had me absorbed.
