• Not dead ...

  Just to let you know that Ice Ice Penguin is not dead just yet. I'm currently working heavily on the online gameplay and it's making good progress. I hope to have a new release out before christmas (2008 that is). Due to some pressing issues in my ~normal~ life, I can't guarantee I'll be able to make it this year ... but I'll try :)

• Final gameplay mechanics in 1.5!

  Version 1.5 of Ice Ice Penguin is (probably) the final version of the game mechanics. The next big version should be 2.0 and should have online gameplay, a level editor (for details on how to create new levels without the editor, read the README) and perhaps even an AI, but the gameplay, as it is now, is how it is supposed to be. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as me and my family and friends do.

• 1.0.2 - now with Bears!

  New really nice release, playwise. Now polar bears are spawned from time to time. They eat penguins that cross their way, but more importantly, if a bear enters a player's targetfield, the player's score is lowered by 15 points (the score can not get negative though). That should make the game much more interesting. There are also a few additional sound effects and other minor changes. This version wasn't extensively tested (due to lack of beta testers), so please tell me if you find a bug.
