Fun little game! Some ideas for an update/sequel.
1. Endless mode would add some more playtime.
2. Upgradable AI Pathfinding would make it more playable AND add playtime (as more money would need to be collected)
3. Turtle Bait (buy it like the bombs, and it attracts turtles for a few seconds)
4. misanthr0pe's idea of destructable obstacles is good, and wouldn't unbalance play since you've got limited bombs.
5. LiamDC's idea of a "Money Magnet" upgrade to make gathering cash easier.
Great work, keep it up! I'll be on the lookout for new games by you.

The gameplay involves nothing but grinding. Since there's no actual control over anything the penguins do, all the player does is buy upgrades. There's no involvement. And there should be a money magnet upgrade, because as you progress it gets impossible to collect all the money. 2/5.

I'm a turtle-eating penguin and I find the way you've depicted my everyday life to be so boring most culturally offensive.

I think the game has a lot of great potential -- I almost really enjoyed playing it -- but all in all it was completely anti-climatic.
In the end the most difficult thing was moving my mouse around fast enough to grab the dropped turtle egg/coins... This game seriously needs a 'coin magnet' upgrade. Another option would be an upgrade that lets your penguins collect coins as they come in contact....
Each of the areas of levels should end with an EPIC BOSS.
Level 30 (the last Desert Level) = around $15,000 per replay, which is approximately twice of any other level.

"Look at that turtle!" says my penguin. *waddle waddle waddle MISS* "Ooooh! Look at that other turtle all the way across the map!" *waddle waddle waddle MISS* Repeat until dead.

so after playing this game for a bit i believe this game is quite solid execpting two main flaws 1.penguin pathfinding is terrible you should update the penguin ai to move around objects 2. at higher levels and when youve got more penguins on the field its impossible to get all the money a magnet upgrade really needs to be in this game

Money pickup kind of sucks though. Magnet upgrade would be nice, or to actually have the money pick up when you zoom your mouse right over it...

So many things wrong with this game! The upgrade system is the annoying thing where you can skip upgrades if you do it right, so you always feel like you're wasting money if you're not buying the best upgrade. The AI can't move around walls, which makes me wonder... why put walls in the game at all??! The abilities don't have hotkeys, so it's nigh impossible to pick up money and help your penguins at the same time. Also, if you skip a penguin upgrade, it makes it look like you haven't purchased the previous upgrade, but at that point, why would you?! The more I played it, the more I hated it. 1/5

It seems to work well to upgrade your bonus penguin before buying other stuff. Get a really strong penguin to deploy for pretty cheap.

even with its flaws(penguins not dodging walls and no money magnet) this game still tops its competition for this game genre 5/5.

First of all, when I saw the "start game" screen I thought "gosh, game'sgraphics seem great!". Then concerning the game, it is nice but I think that it needs some improvements. 1. as every body has already said, penguins are really stupid, too stupid… it could be a good point to make some changes for the AI. 2. It is very hard to catch all the balls/cash when there are a lot of them, maybe we could buy an upgrade in the shop for a “magnet” feature or an upgrade which increases the time before disappearing?

Suggestion.... Can we possibly get macros for the special stuff? Like press 1 for the speed, 2 for health and whatnot? Would make the whole money gathering easier.

@kurtcobainnrvana @XDRAGONX10 I don't think you can give them a break. The AI for the penguins is horrible and on top of that bullets from enemy turtles go over walls that penguins can't move through.
