Hi Weswog; it's straightforward but neat; strangely hypnotic! I like the ice wall idea, and really like the music; kind of relaxing in its own way. The whole thing is nicely therapeutic! Good luck with the contest!

Thanks for the comment

I also think the music is hypnotic.

Thanks, Weswog

Good Job! And good luck with the contest!

I noticed a spelling error: When you beat the orca at the end, it says "You Defaeted the Orca!"
It should be 'defeated', not 'defaeted'.

Also, if I may make some suggestions:

I think it would be good if you limited the number of shots the penguin can fire. Right now I can press the space bar a million times and shoot a million ice blocks.

I would put in a delay, like this:

Create a boolean attribute in the penguin, something like 'okToShoot'. Set it initially to true.

Then a Rule, like this:

Rule
when all conditions are valid:
self.okToShoot = true
Key: Spacebar is pressed
-----[spawn ice block]
-----Change Attribute: self.okToShoot To: false
-----Timer After 1 second, run to completion true
----------Change Attribute: self.okToShoot To: true

That would let you only fire a block every second. You can play with the Timer's delay to make it harder or easier...

Also, right now the bears can get hit multiple times, and I would get points each time. That's how I was able to get 16,000 points!

The Rule in the ice blocks should be something like:

Rule
when all conditions are valid:
Actor overlaps or collides with Actor of type Bear
-----Change Attribute: game.score To: game.score + 100
-----Destroy

And in the Bear:

Rule
when all conditions are valid:
Actor overlaps or collides with Actor of type IceBlock
-----Destroy

Also, when the game starts over, make sure to set the score back to zero.

Anyway, I only mean to offer constructive criticism. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the suggestions:) I also have a question since I want the bear to be destroyed yet show him turning blue how do I do that?
