The gameplay features a variety of unique mechanics, including water spots that consume objects, spikes that destroy items, sliding ice, snowmen that attack, and bombs that require strategic placement. These elements combine to create a complex and engaging sokoban-style experience, enhancing the traditional puzzle-solving gameplay with additional challenges.
“Other mechanics include water spots that swallow everything you put on top of them (including the penguin itself), except logs that can float and turn a water spot into a platform, spikes that destroy everything, ice on which crates slide (but not the penguin), snowmen that shoot snowballs at you, bombs that explode a couple of seconds after you move them, and unmovable rocks that can only be destroyed by bombs.”
“That sounds like a nice sokoban with extra mechanics, doesn't it?”
“The gameplay is plagued by mechanics that feel more like obstacles than engaging challenges, such as water spots that swallow everything, including the penguin itself, except for logs that can turn them into platforms.”
“The presence of spikes that destroy everything and ice that causes crates to slide, but not the penguin, creates frustrating moments rather than enjoyable gameplay.”
“The game features unmovable rocks that can only be destroyed by bombs, which adds to the confusion and disrupts the flow of gameplay.”
