"Air Penguin, developed by Gamevil Inc., is a game about a penguin that is separated from its family and struggles to get back to them. As the game boots up for the first time and other times through the game, you get a quick synopsis of the “story” behind why this penguin is bouncing from ice chunk to ice chunk. He was separated from his family when a giant crack in an iceberg left him on one side of the crack, and his family on the other. His side quickly floated off to sea with him on it. Mind you, this penguin has super jumping skills and instead of jumping over to his family immediately, he sat on his floating iceberg like a dumbass, watching his family fade away into the distance. Flaw#1."
Okay here I go, my first review for a game. I finally broke down and got a smart phone (Android). I feel that my phone is definitely smarter than me, and so is Air Penguin. I started playing and three days later I am still stuck trying to jump over sharks, bounce on floating ice, and trying not to get speared by some frickin flying swordfish.
Air Penguin, one of the this year's numerous bird-based App Store hits, is now available to download from the Android Market.
People who own an iPhone or iPad must have the Avian Flu or Bird Flu with all the bird themed games that have been released recently. It all started with Angry Birds, which was followed by Angry Birds Rio, Tiny Wings and most recently Air Penguin. Air Penguin differs from previous bird themed games because the game takes place in the Antarctic and it also uses the tilt mechanism. Does Air Penguin soar or does it fall flat?
