Yes, most people I know that play the game find that as they play longer they get better. There are patterns in different levels and users learn how to see the solutions more quickly.

Those are really great suggestions. Thanks for posting, I'll try to include those updates soon.

And I'll look into those!

That's cool, I hadn't made that connection before now!

This is how I described it to someone else below, so I hope this helps:

This is a puzzle game in which you're able to slide objects (one penguin and a few ice blocks) around a 5x5 grid. The objects will slide off if they are not stopped by anything else, and the goal is to get the penguin to a waterhole in the center of the grid. It's difficult also because you get a limited number of moves on each level.

I know, sorry about this. Someone else mentioned that the title of my post should include android, but I don't think I can change it at this point. I'm glad you clicked the link anyway and found it!

Unfortunately, there is currently no video of gameplay. There are images on the app store info page. You could search for "Penguin Plunge: Stuck in Antarctica!" on the app store to see the pictures of gameplay and then download the app.

Yes, there is another game named Penguin Plunge. This is the free app and the full title is "Penguin Plunge: Stuck in Antarctica!".

I agree being able to undo more than once would be nice. I'll look into changing this in a future update.

Someone else also mentioned getting feedback when you touch the screen. That seems like a great idea and I'll try to update the app to respond to touches immediately.

And thanks for letting me know about your confusion. I'll try to update the tutorial so it's as easy as possible to figure out!

As for the crashes, I am aware of users encountering a few issues and I'll work on fixing those problems.

Thank you! One of my ideas is to let people design their own levels and challenge their friends with the level they wrote. This is something I've thought about implementing in a future update. If anyone here has any thoughts, I would love to hear them.

Thanks so much for your feedback.

I designed the first 50 levels by experimentation. There are a total of 1000 levels, so the last 950 were computer generated.

That's a really great idea and definitely something I would love to implement in the next update.
