This is a great game. I also appreciate your positive attitude as you handle the feedback in the comments.

Do you have any ideas for how to incorporate multiplayer gameplay into Penguins? It's generally harder to do (or not as fun) with puzzle games, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Keep up the great work!

Thank you! One of my ideas is to let people design their own levels and challenge their friends with the level they wrote. This is something I've thought about implementing in a future update. If anyone here has any thoughts, I would love to hear them.
Rachel, we're beta testing a new 'hub' feature of our SDK that allows users to create and share levels, Elemental Fury (http://mgw.us/ef) will be using it in a future version. The hub behaves similarly to a social network, where every level created is a post that can be liked, completed and commented on. You can view the feed of levels that everyone you're following has interacted with, or look at lists of top, new and trending levels. We're curious to see whether it can become an fun multiplayer mechanic for puzzle games
