How to play?

Penguin is constantly moving and you only guide him using your mouse. If you want the penguin to run, press left click. The game is inspired by an episode from the life of Adélie penguins caught by National Geographic camera. Namely, the scientists have caught one of the penguins stealing building materials while building the nests. That is why some penguins in this game wear numbers on their heads - those are pebbles. If you run into one of those and you two collide, his pebbles can easily become yours - a classical steal. Take care because all penguins are shoving each other, so it can happen to you to that some of them push you, you fall down and spill your pebbles, and others rob you blind in the confusion. Also pay attention to your energy levels. It depends on the energy levels who will end up on the ground.

About Adélie Penguin

Adélie Penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) are a kind of penguins which live only along the coast of Antarctic. They got their name by a French explorer who discovered them in 19th century. They are one of rare bird species which besides Emperor Penguins live in the most southern points of our planet.

They build their nests out of pebbles they gather around, carry in their beaks and pile up to make a nest. Each penguin builds his own nest or at least that is what everybody had thought until National Geographic cameramen made a footage for Frozen Planet series. In it we can clearly see that there are some penguins which have propensity for criminal activity. Instead of searching for materials by themselves, the penguin criminal steals the pebbles from his neighbour and piles them in his own nest. The honest penguin worker is confused. The more he works and more rocks he brings in, his nest is getting smaller while the neighbouring nest is coming along very nicely. At one point, he catches the thief in the act, and the whole hell brakes loose.
