Penguin Runner
Why We Picked Penguin Runner
Penguin Runner is built from tapping pieces into position, a few checkpoints and a map small enough to remember. A small map, a clear goal, and no apology at all for the scale. The screen is readable at a glance, so the next move can be planned while this one is still in motion. It stays because the checkpoints respect your time and the levels respect your intelligence. For reference: 412 of 500 on the arcade shelf, 4.4 out of 5 from 9 ratings, and 356 plays.
How to Play
What you actually do, in order:
- Everything responds to a tap, which is the only input the game asks you to learn.
- The exit is marked by the level design rather than by a marker, so read the screen before the map.
- Backtracking is usually faster than forcing a new route.
Editor’s Note
The art is doing more work than the story, which is fine at this length. Adventure pages load the game in the page itself, so a level can be restarted without losing your place in the browser.

In Penguin Runner you control a little penguin who's running to collect his Dinner Fish!
Watch out for the obstacles in his path though and beware of the polar bears! With simple controls, just tap the left or right side of the screen to move and collect as many fish as you can!
