This is really cool.
If I had 1 complaint, it would be that the controls are a little difficult at the start.
Thanks!
1 question though. Why does he have a knife?
I asked a girl im friends with if she wanted to draw the cover art. She said sure and I just went with it because it looked funny. This was the original cover art but I altered it a little bit.
Yeah that makes sense. And it is pretty funny. It kinda reminds me of the picture of the Kirby plush holding a knife
Nice game! I included it in the collection of games created with EasyGameMaker, here:

Cool! Did you play through the whole game yet? I need to add more levels.
I played until the big frog. I don't know how to pass that part.
Use the mushroom to jump on its head
TITLE SCREEN IS FINISHED AND THE SLIDE IS WAY SMOOTHER AND FASTER WOOOOOOO!
does a lot right. movement speed feels a little slow
It’s possible your wifi is a bit slow. The game usually runs pretty smoothly. At my house it runs good but at my grandparent’s, the game is a lot slower because of the network. If you wanna go faster, when walking forward hold down the down arrow on the keyboard. Any other suggestions? I’d like it if you leave a rating.
no i meant the penguin moves a little too slowly, like the other people have said
I mentioned wifi because he actually moves smoother and faster on good wifi. Anyways, if the game is running smoothly with barely any frame drops, then you can use the slide move. When walking forward, hit the down arrow on the keyboard and he will start sliding and will go at a faster rate. Thanks!
i am just trying to give you feedback. you obviously put a lot of work into the game and there are many good elements. but the penguin is slow and slide does not make much of a difference, and the level layouts are not conducive to using slide. other people have said similar things. i hope it is helpful to let you know our experiences as the players. my wifi is high speed. best of luck.
Thanks! I may consider making a level based on speed.
Pretty good game, I have a few complaints though. The slide is really weird, I found myself barely using it. I feel as if the slide should act more as a run button. You also lose momentum when jumping, and you don't regain that momentum when hitting the ground again. The bosses are also way to easy. Also, for some reason on the 3rd hit of the frog boss, you can't hit him any more, making the boss impossible. Other than that, the game is pretty fun and I enjoyed the platforming areas.
it actually is possible, Ive done it many times. It can be a bit challenging. Also sorry the slide is weird. I may add other stuff.

Very interesting game. One piece of feedback I would give is that the penguin feels very slow, so it might be a good idea to increase the speed.
Thanks for feedback! Im actually a teenager and this is my very first game tbh. If you are walking and hold down the down arrow you will slide and begin to increase in speed. Also, how did you stumble upon my game?
I found your game, because I was just bored, and I was just looking at the most recent html5 free games. I'm also a teenager. It's pretty good for being your first game. I released mine a few months ago, and it was a lot more simplistic.
