Carol of the Penguins

 Help a pair of Emperor penguins hatch their egg by controlling them asynchronously though three levels of mini games. You can either try to be two penguins at the same time or share part of your keyboard with a buddy and play this as a co-op game.  Penguins sing to each other each time they move and so does their egg. Enjoy their music and sound as clues on which mini game to pay attention to when your eyeballs can't be two places at the same time.

Controls: WASD for the penguin on the left and arrow keys for the penguin on the right. Controller (twin-stick) is also supported. 

Carol of the Penguins is an entry to Godot Wild Jam #28. The theme was Egg and we tried to utilize the wild card "bamboozled" with a fairy mechanic that saves the player from game overs and "two heads" with two controllable characters on screen at the same time.  

*The html5 and mac versions sometime freezes up after level 3 and won't play the ending correctly.  If you are playing on Mac, you may want to try the HTML5 version.  If you are playing on Windows or Linux, you may prefer to try the downloaded versions. 

* Papa Penguin's level 3 is tough for some people. Try to press the keys slowly and don't hold them down and it should work better (this is related to "N-Key Rollover" settings for keyboards and something we've now learned to design for in future games)

This game was inspired by the documentary "March of the Penguins", where both Emperor mom and dad take turns keeping their egg warm and finding food to survive the harsh environment.  "Carol of the bells" is the melody used for the penguin song and this arrangement was created from scratch for this jam using BeepBox (https://tinyurl.com/y8gjemx9).
