Release date updateI am sorry to say that I will not make the "April 2025" release date that has been on the store page for the last few weeks.
Gentoo Rescue is a passion project that I have worked solo on for over 2 years. The game is gigantic with 50+ hours of hand-designed content, which is not even including the puzzle editor that will be available on day one. The decision to delay launch has not been easy, but ultimately I do not want to jeopardize all of this hard work by releasing the game before I feel that it is perfect. Gentoo Rescue is also being developed on the side, and unfortunately the original date is not playing nicely with my full-time job and other life obligations.
It's not far off, but there are still some things that still need a bit more time. For now the store page has been updated to read "Q2 2025".
If you want to follow development more closely, then please join the Discord server and follow my personal account on BlueSky, and my Gentoo Rescue account on X.
[ 2025-03-30 20:30:17 CET ] [ Original post ] Get penguins home safely in Gentoo Rescue! Penguins must coordinate with walruses, who just want to escape into the water. Items let you break the rules in progressively more extreme ways. They come with drawbacks, though, so tread carefully.

Featuring
Penguins, walruses, and fish. They bring opposing win criteria, which complements the "blessing and curse" nature of the mechanics.
Rapidly expanding set of mechanics and emergent interactions.
Over 300 diverse, hand-crafted levels that are simple, instructive, but deceptively difficult.
An interconnected network of puzzles with item-based progression and metagame twists.
Journal for tracking mechanics, which also lists entries needed for the current puzzle.
A tiered hint system for when you're truly stuck. These teach a deduction-based approach.
16 biomes distinguishing areas and mechanics.
Original music.

Accessibility
No time-sensitive inputs, with undo and redo binds that work through resets.
Use controller, keyboard, or mouse with customizable binds. (Note: Puzzle editor requires a mouse.)
Colorblind friendly with customizable colors.
Most puzzles are optional for progression, and a setting makes any puzzle skippable.
Map navigation system for quickly returning to anywhere you've been.
Old solutions are saved.
Many other QoL features and options.
