Along with the launch of D.A.R.K. this week comes a more casual-orientated release, the whimsical action-puzzle game Powerslide Penguin. Developed by Cobra Mobile, of iBomber fame, Powerslide Penguin is available to download from Apple’s App Store now.
Though cool in name, Powerslide Penguin is decidedly hot. Somebody just took out a withdrawal from Chill City Bank – the illegal kind – and it’s up to Penn Gwynn to recover the loot. Slide across over seventy five iced-over stages, barrelling into gems and cash while avoiding dynamite, polar bears, and evil snowmen in this light-hearted action-puzzler game.
At the end of the day, Powerslide Penguin is an addictive little iOS game with easy to learn controls and a quirky storyline, but it is let down by a lack of attention to details in both the character models and environments.
Physics-based, slingshot style, casual gaming fanatics take note, a new challenger has entered the arena: Powerslide Penguin for the iOS.
You control the cleverly-named Penn Gwynn by pulling him back and then releasing at the angle of your choosing. Penn will bounce off walls and objects. The objective is to collect each level’s gem within a certain number of moves and within a certain time limit.
