*Very* simple gameplay, but nice graphics ;-)
Just use the arrow keys!
Actually, this little game is supposed to be a sample of our
3D Game Engine for Flash: bipolar engine.

The engine is capable of rendering very detailed mode 7 planes
and many billboards at the same time.

While the engine has been developed over the course of 2-3 months,
the game itself only took 3 days, including all graphics and animations.

Right now, we're working on a racing game based on this engine, which we are going to post on Newgrounds, too :-)

not a fan

while playing i noticed a few things i believe could use some work. the first is that the penguin moves too slow, it takes him forever to change directions. this is not true however for the enemy penguin who seemed to be able to turn on a dime. secondly is the minimap. the minimap was annoying because you really couldnt tell what direction you were moving in. that is of course unless you zoom in, in which case the minimap becomes useless. the third thing is probably just me, but the fish sound effects got on my nerves. anyway, if you fix the first two issues your game will be good. if you fix the last thing you will at least make me smile.

Needs work.

I would say that this is a good start, but it still needs quite a lot of work. The ground texture was aweful. You should not try to make this look too realistc. You should just make the ground from a simple snow texture.

Good start :)

binarymadness responds:

Thanks, that's some useful criticism.

Granted, the realistic ground texture doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the game.
On the other hand, we wanted to emphasise the 3D effect of the ground, and an only snow texture wouldn't have done that, in our opinion... hence the spots of gravel.

cheap

waht a cheap engine

Impressive

I don't get impressed by much Flash games these days, since I've seen it all.

But I was impressed with this. Excellent work, very nice engine ;)

awesome

yeah i found the -3d- engine really nice... must have been quite a bit of work to get that running. id love 2 see more of your stuff
