Controls:

You can use keyboard or joystick to play the game. Control Pinwi with the joystick and shoot with the fire button. 
The snowballs will be thrown in the direction that we are pressing.  There are 5 possible directions: left, up, right and their diagonals.



Slide and dodge. 

By pressing the lower diagonals (down-left and down-right) the player will be able to slide sideways and dodge enemy shots in the meantime. During the slide you will not be able to shoot. Use it wisely.

Q: Up 
A: Down 
Space: Shoot

Gesture

According to the CPC Retrodev rules, we included a gesture to the game Larcena's Legacy. Some enemies may leave an envelope when dead. This item contains his salary as a hired thug.  It gives us extra points and should not be missed if we want to finish the stage with a "Perfect" bonus (read the manual for more information).

Oh! Thank you! Nice homage. ❤

Where is the DSK file? 

Sorry, try now.

Juegazo, muy divertido, ¿es posible o será posible hacerse con una copia en físico? Muchas gracias!

Si, sacaremos las cintas en 2 o 3 meses, seguramente hagamos pre order y lo anunciaremos por aquí y nuestras redes.

Hey guys, any chance of a version that works on the GX4000?

Is it playable on ubuntu?

Me encanta el juego, sois uno de mis equipos de programación favoritos, de los que más, por vuestro sentido arcade y por lo bien ejecutado. Nota: en winape no puedo disparar en diagonales, ¿se sabe algo por favor?. Muchas gracias por vuestro trabajo. Saludos desde Barcelona (España).

Gracias Bruno! No alegra que te gusten nuestros juegos. 

El juego está probado en Winape y no tenemos problemas con las diagonales, la verdad. De hecho se desarrolló usando ese emulador y RVM. No te podemos decir que puede ser., lo siento.

Gracias por responder. Al final resulta que el responsable de que no disparase diagonales he sido yo (falta de experiencia mia con winape). Porque he estado trasteando con el apartado settings > input de winape el otro día para poner joystic para un juego que lo requería obligatoriamente y se desbarajustó todo. He reinsatlado winape y ahora sí dispara en diagonales. Un saludo.

I really love these type of 8-bit games. and the penguins are so cute!! 😄😄

The game doesn't work on my M4 board!!!😭

We have uploaded a compatible DSK now. Please, try "Penguin_Attack_V1.0.1 [Mass Storage].dsk"

Thank you...now it works perfectly and it's a beautiful and very fun game, just like I imagined it!❤️

Thanks for the update !

Muy adictivo y,  para mi, el verdadero ganador de la "CPC Retrodev 2022"...había que decirlo y se dijo.

Cómpralo, no te arrepentirás. Simplemente genial!!!

Muchas gracias. ❤

Menudas viciadas están cayendo a este Penguin Attack! Un trabajo excelente, a nivel sonoro (con varias pistas),  gráfico (unos diseños de sprites y animaciones geniales asi como los propios niveles) y jugable (con una suavidad en el control del personaje genial). Presiento que van a seguir cayendo muchas partidas. Mil gracias!

Muchísimas gracias!! Eso espero, que hasta el domingo hay tiempo de enseñar esos peaso de records. 😄

Vaya viciada de juego, boooooommmmmm
