Penguin Wars is a remake of an arcade game from 1985, developed by City Connection.

Mechanics

The rules of Penguin Wars are extremely simple - the struggle takes place on a special table, on both ends of which we have various animal character controlled by players, and differentiated in terms of features and abilities.

In the basic variant of the game, the players reflect a white balls between themselves - the one who manages to get all ten balls to the opponent's side first, or hit them enough times to make their stamina bar fall to zero, wins. The game is diversified by modifiers, which were not present in the original (such as turning balls into bombs), as well as obstacles appearing on the surface of the table.

Game modes

Penguin Wars offers the opportunity to play solo or with up to three other players. The game can be played in the 1v1 or 2v2 variant. In addition, the game features a story mode, in which we follow the fate of individual players.

Technical aspects

For the purpose of Penguin Wars' new incarnation, the developers have prepared the entire audio-visual layer from scratch - the colorful visuals please the eye with contemporary special effects accompanying the exchange of balls, while in addition to the remastered versions of the original songs, the soundtrack is expanded by completely new songs.
