About Penguin Rescue
Penguin Rescue is an icy physics puzzle about protecting a nest of penguin chicks. Sneaky seals are creeping toward the nest behind the snow piles on each side of the ice field. Drag on a brave penguin to send it sliding across the ice – the longer the drag, the faster it goes – and ram it into a giant snow pile.
Each hit cracks and shakes the pile, and when it collapses an avalanche rolls down and buries every seal on that side, even those still on their way. Every pile only falls once per level, so timing is everything: wait until enough seals are in the lane, then strike. Penguins that slide past the edge are lost, so aim carefully. The 15 hand-made levels are all verified solvable, and using fewer penguins earns more stars.
