Turbulent Tundra is a game about penguins, polar ice-caps and procedurally-generated platforms.

You play Darren, a penguin who no doubt sincerely wishes that his species possessed the power of flight. No time to wish Darren; your ice cap is collapsing into the sea! Thankfully, Darren can run at an impressive pace, which might allow him to survive for one, maybe two minutes longer than his poor penguin friends.

The selling point of the game is re-playability. The levels are randomly generated on the fly and the added craziness of trees, snowmen and a constantly accelerating scrolling will hopefully give you a refreshing gameplay experience. Go on, give it a play.

The .mfa is heavily commented, but in addition, I have recorded a developer diary documenting the process of design. You may well be interested! http://vimeo.com/9106462

What do you mean? Every single event is commented. Or did you not read the comments that actually talk about a block of related events.

Such a great game! I'm surprised you made it so fast. DizzyDoo, I wish you luck on getting more money on this game (I'm addicted to the Fusion Roundtable podcast btw)
