Penguin Racer Go Go is a Checkpoint Racer with a variety of obstacles to avoid and items to pick-up in order to get the best Ending.
I had a blast designing this one and whilst I would love to have added more tracks and some A.I. Penguins, those had to be cut-out due to time.
Controls and how-to-play are explained on the menu screen.
I hope you have fun and possibly a little bit of frustration to get that little penguin to his goal!

Really cool game. I really like the sounds, I think they kept me from getting frustrated when I screwed up ;)
Hard one! Somehow reminds me Temple Run from Android. I love temple run and I love this one too!
Great game, looks pretty darn polished for a game made in a weekend! Was really addicting and easy to get into. Simple gameplay and great presentation. Awesome job!
Simple but well polished! The controls could've been a little smoother... but other than that the sounds were great and the graphics were fantastically themed :D I could totally see this being a mini-game for like wii sports or something :P
Nice game, its a little hard to see the slow snow though. I kept running into the slow snow patches by accident because I could barely tell the difference until it was too late.
I interpret this as the developers way of expressing his frustration with running the VLC media player on Linux (Hence the cones and the Tux the penguin) :)
pretty cool game. Man is it unforgiving tho! Nice controls. and nice art.
Wow, one of the best games I've played so far! Very fun and fast-paced gameplay! Challenging without being unbeatable.
I'm pretty sure everyone said this but OH GOD I CAN'T SEE THE SLOW ZONES COMING. If it was a tiny little bit easier I might have played until I beat it :)
Otherwise, props on making a racing game, I'm pretty sure I'm going to play it again when nobody is watching. Keep it coming Ryan!
Great and well made game. A bit hard as the controls feels too much sensible, but this is an amazing piece, 5 starz!
Like urth, I had to call it quits after one lap. It's a lot of fun and the mechanics work well, but the level is too hard for me. :'(
Especially the placement of the snow is a work of pure evil. It's always there to crush your dreams right in front of a checkpoint. D:
Apart from the difficulty, I think it's a very well put together package. Graphics were on par with a certain other arctic creature racing game (an achievement considering the time frame) and the music and audio fit well.
Great job! :D
Just make some easier tracks now!
I really like the art style for this project. It's like a cute version of F-Zero! The feeling of speed when you run over the boosters is nice, but I usually ended up flying off of the track shortly after hitting them. :) Fun game!
OH MY GOD!
I need to catch my breathe. XD
The game looks polished. It's very hard! Not frustrating, just hard...

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Now this is pretty cool! Couldn't stop until I managed to finish the race. :P I kept felling down or messing up somehow on the final lap many times in row.
