About the Game

Penguins of the North (PotN) is the peak in penguin puzzle platforming! As the first adventurous band of penguins to reach the North, you must help lead these poor fellas through a new wild frontier filled with interesting puzzles and evil enemies.

The twist? Players must control all penguins at the same time with just one controller (hey, no one said these were the smartest penguins). However, these penguins are adaptive and possess unique abilities to help them overcome new challenges they encounter on their journey. Find a way to utilize their penguin powers wisely to grab the key of each level and reach the exit, all while keep them alive (well as many as possible…).

Can you help these penguins survive the North?
