About the Game

As a cute penguin in a kayak, paddle in an obstacle course while avoiding swinging hammers, spinning walls, falling spike balls and more to reach the end. Why? Uhh.. good question, I'm not sure either, but it's probably very important.

With realistic kayak physics, paddle solo or team up with a friend… well, the physics are as realistic as a penguin in a kayak.

Many stages of pain fun!

A variety of stages each with unique concepts ensure that gameplay never feels repetitive.

Avoid swinging, spinning, falling deadly obstacles, play a memory game while trying to stay on a moving platform, and more.

3 game modes

  • Normal - Checkpoints.

  • Hard - No checkpoints.

  • Nightmare - Game over if the kayak touches any obstacle.
