How to play Penguin Stampede
A captain penguin rides a snow cannon along a rail. Every level is a long icy road with two to four seal forts, and the last one is the boss fort.
- Hold to fire and slide the cannon left and right to aim.
- Steer your stream through blue × and green + gates to multiply your army, and avoid red ÷ gates.
- Every penguin that reaches a fort knocks off one point. Clear a fort and your cannon rolls on to the next stage, with an army bonus for every penguin still standing.
- Crowds of seals and walruses charge at your base all the time, with a big wave every few seconds. On the boss stage a Chief Walrus leads every wave.
The mega snowball
While you hold fire, the snowflake ring fills up. Let go and the cannon launches a giant snowball. It flattens seals and snowmen, grows through × and + gates, shrinks in ÷ gates, and takes a big chunk out of a fort. Forts are tough, so you'll need several mega shots and a strong army to bring them down.
Five worlds and upgrades
Levels rotate through Snowy Peaks, Sunset Glacier, Aurora Night, Frozen Lake and Blizzard Pass, each with its own layout of gates, moving gates, speed pads and snowmen.
- Twin Cannon adds a second barrel. Buy it with coins or unlock it free at level 10.
- Rapid Cannon fires faster, Mega Charge fills the ring sooner, and Ice Barricade makes your base tougher.
