Push-Push Penguin

Push-Push Penguin is a cheerful puzzle game built around a deceptively simple idea: push things around while trying to figure out how to reach your goal. Naturally, the simplicity does not last long. As the levels become more complicated, positioning, timing and careful planning become increasingly important, and one badly placed object can turn a promising solution into a miniature disaster. The cute penguin theme gives the game a friendly appearance, but do not let that fool you into thinking the puzzles will always be kind. It belongs to that wonderfully addictive tradition of compact puzzle games where each screen presents a self-contained challenge. If you enjoy games that make you think without requiring a fifty-page manual, Push-Push Penguin is worth waddling into.

“Push-Push Penguin is a remake of Sega's original 1982 arcade game Pengo, at Black Cat we decided to remake Pengo as our entry into the Retro Remakes competition. We chose Pengo because we felt it was the perfect game to update and expand, adding power-ups, a combo system and a more expansive menagerie of bad guys has brought Sega's original concept alive again.” - Black Cat

Review by Freeware Database:

“Out of the many Pengo remakes released in recent years, Push Push Penguin by Tomaz Kac still stands as the best one available with minor changes made to vary gameplay. Among some of it's improvements include a simultaneous two player mode using joysticks or a single keyboard, a new freeze move and additional bonus items to collect. This particular effort may not impress the current generation of gamers but anyone who fondly remembers the arcade classic won't be disappointed one bit.“
