Penguin Deliveries

Initially created in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 38, the game takes the jam's theme of "Small world" far too literally. 

Inspired by fight-the-inevitable-force-of-gravity games of old such as Lunar Lander, Penguin Deliveries tasks you to navigate between planets across a variety of levels; dodging asteroids, struggling against planetary gravity and admiring the attractive assortment of foliage and buildings, all presented in a bright and colourful art style.

Penguin Deliveries will be showcasing at the Norwich Gaming Festival on the 2nd and 3rd of June.
