March of the Penguins

The game has been divided into twelve chapters, with different gameplay each time. The penguins need to be navigated through the environment, find a suitable mate, find food, take care of the egg, guard the young ones and finally make it all the way back. A large part of the game is based on the concept of Lemmings. Players need to help the penguins land softly, melt obstacles, attract them in a certain direction using fish, and create ramps, slides, bridges and steps to access new areas.

The levels can be explored using binoculars and the penguins need to collect a certain amount of snowflakes to pass. The penguins cannot die. When they fall off a cliff, they simply restart at the beginning of the level, but players need to bring them to the end as a group to succeed. Other levels feature fast-paced gameplay on hills, mazes, and underwater challenges where predators need to be avoided while collecting food.

Guarding the eggs adds a new layer of difficulty in later parts of the game. If a penguin hits an obstacle, it is dropped, and there is little time to pick it up again or it freezes. It also needs to be taken to a warm spot before the thermometer time runs out. Some educational content has also been included, providing information about the penguins' habits and migration patterns.
