Penguin Heroes | You are in :Penguin Games |
How to play?
Each level starts at the penguin spin roulette machine, where you choose randomly one of the penguin characters that you are about to control in the next round (Fusupakool, Pingusan, Bigboyfat...) The game counts 4 different stages (mountains, desert, island and the town) but only the first one (mountains) is unlocked at first. To get to the other stages you must earn enough amount of money and buy access to that stage at the shop. The further you fly, and the more items you collect, the richer you get. Everything would go easy for you if there was no giant octopus. It spits black ink at you and if you don't shoot back and avoid his shots, you will end up at the bottom of the ocean.

Controls
Regarding controls, there are only two arrow keys plus space bar. Up arrow key shoots out fish and is supposed to be used against the giant octopus. Space bar boosts the speed or makes the penguin jump and glide on the ice platforms. Down arrow key is emergency button. If you push it, a big cow flies in, grabs you tight and get you out of whatever situation you were in. It'll give you few seconds, long enough to get your grip back and prepare for the fight against the octopus.

Sushi Shop
Before new level begins, you'll get a chance to spend some money on the upgrades. Instead to use fish on giant octopus, you could use some small octopuses or sharks or piranhas, but each one of these items costs money, and I am talking here thousands of dollars, pardon Japanese yens (or were they maybe Chinese yuans ?! not sure). Besides ammo, you can upgrade the boosts and switch the flying cow for something bullet fast and technologically more advanced. Shop is also a place where you can upgrade your default jetpacks for something better and finally this is where you buy your ticket for the next stage.

To spice things up a little bit game has few achievements you can earn along the way: super heroes, fishy frenzy (all fish purchased), Outrages Octopus (octopus defeated), Around The World (all stages unlocked) and Pole Passer (10 poles flown through).
