Today was a relatively sunny but very cold day and playing this game while outside was very cold felt magical and fitting at the same time. The game is pretty challenging and even hard in some parts, especially if you aim at speedrun scores. But also finding stars is challenging as some stars are in places difficult to spot (i.e. 8th star). I like how controls feel, the slippery nature of some movements especially on certain surfaces make the game stimulating and adds a nice replayability value. What made me laugh a bit was the fact the penguin can't swim XD but I know the Sonic-like vibe this game has. Still funny though.
I also liked each level design, each design is well made in a way to make the game interesting to play. A very strong point is the graphic and design of each characters, especially Pengu which is adorable. In some levels I got quite frustrated due to the difficulty to master controls, notably during jumps on those small surfaces (looking at you, level 2!) but the learning curve is not too steep, so after a while mastering all levels become fun. Collecting the stars was my favourite part even though I had to use this walkthrough to get the star in level 8:

Thank you for making this tutorial, @PinkiPies ^_^
And speaking of achievements, I share three tips on getting three achievements that made me work a bit because not always this immediate to get the requirements to unlock them, especially ( o ) v ( o ):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only level where you can unlock "Stomach Ache" medal is Ena level as far as I know, just be careful when you reach the first slope because it can catch you off guard if you don't pay attention. Nothing frustrating, just be vigilant of the surrounding and the medal will unlock.
To those who don't know how to get the "( o ) v ( o )" medal just press down arrow to start sliding but then change position to make sure the penguin stares you directly. After some second the medal will unlock. It doesn't matter which level.
The easiest level to get "Flaming Flippers" is Pico level, it's not that hard after a few tries since those seals can be a pain in the ass sometimes. I'm glad I can jump on them to remove them.

This is a really cool game, difficult in some elements but rewarding after you master it, maybe one day I will try to lower the time I took to complete level ? but for now I enjoy the fact I 100% completed it. I definitely recommend this game, especially during this month. It's just fitting the atmosphere. Really cool job, keep it up!
