Major demo update!Demo has been updated! The new demo features metroidvania-esque elements, where backtracking is rewarded and different levels can influence one another.
This demo contains 15 puzzles, and will take roughly:
- 30+ minutes to reach the end screen
- 100+ minutes to complete all puzzles
- 150+ minutes to obsessively complete literally everything (don't do this)
I wanted to cram as much as possible into this demo, so on-boarding is a little rushed. Things will ramp up a lot more nicely in the full game. Please reach out if you have any issues, especially any accessibility or QoL concerns.
Please join our discord for feedback![ 2024-07-26 15:03:53 CET ] [ Original post ] Get penguins home safely in Gentoo Rescue! Penguins must coordinate with walruses, who just want to escape into the water. Items let you break the rules in progressively more extreme ways. They come with drawbacks, though, so tread carefully.

Featuring
Penguins, walruses, and fish. They bring opposing win criteria, which complements the "blessing and curse" nature of the mechanics.
Rapidly expanding set of mechanics and emergent interactions.
Over 300 diverse, hand-crafted levels that are simple, instructive, but deceptively difficult.
An interconnected network of puzzles with item-based progression and metagame twists.
Journal for tracking mechanics, which also lists entries needed for the current puzzle.
A tiered hint system for when you're truly stuck. These teach a deduction-based approach.
16 biomes distinguishing areas and mechanics.
Original music.

Accessibility
No time-sensitive inputs, with undo and redo binds that work through resets.
Use controller, keyboard, or mouse with customizable binds. (Note: Puzzle editor requires a mouse.)
Colorblind friendly with customizable colors.
Most puzzles are optional for progression, and a setting makes any puzzle skippable.
Map navigation system for quickly returning to anywhere you've been.
Old solutions are saved.
Many other QoL features and options.
