What a wonderful game. Great story, great voice acting, great graphics. I normally blabber through the games I play, but this one is special and thus I treat it as one, and keep my mouth shut :o]
Kudos to all involved, you did an awesome job!

I am lovingly awaiting another game next year. There is nothing about this game not to love; the narration, the art work, the fonts and various assets throughout. The soft snow movement is so lovely, I want to make snowmen and roll around. I love this little penguin!
