About the Game

The Lost Penguin is a Sokoban-style cozy puzzle game. The player moves the penguin on a 2D grid to reach the goals by strategically planning the route, connecting with friends, interacting with eggs, gates, teleports, enemies, and more. The rules are simple yet the combinations create infinite depth.

Features

  • You move a penguin on 2D tiles. Moving drains energy. Energy exhaustion immobilizes the player. Recharge areas refill energy. A level can have multi-penguin goals that require the player to connect with other penguins to form a group.

  • Eggs can be hatched to create a new penguin, or pushed away to change the environment.

  • Movable snow blocks work like a switch that changes the path dynamically.

  • Predators are dangerous, but sometimes can be surprisingly helpful.

  • Send a love letter to another penguin to remotely synchronize movements.

  • 70 hand-crafted levels. Each level presents a new problem that requires a unique solution.
