About Penguin Jump

Every star you pick up adds points to your score.

The danger is red enemy penguins. They start showing up once you have collected a few stars, and a single touch from any of them ends the game on the spot.

The higher your score climbs, the more red penguins walk the platforms. At the start the stage feels roomy, but later the safe space shrinks a lot and choosing which floor to jump to gets much harder.

Stars do not stay in one place. They pop up on platforms all over the map, so you are always on the move and often have to cross floors where enemies are walking.

The game uses simple 2D cartoon art with snow and a winter landscape in the background. Platforms sit at several heights like in a classic arcade game, so both stars and enemies can turn up high or low on the screen.

Key features

  • Glowing stars are your only source of points, and they keep appearing in new spots across the stage.
  • The number of red enemy penguins grows along with your score.
  • There are no second chances, since one touch from an enemy means game over.
  • It is an animal game where the hero and every enemy are penguins, and the enemies are the red ones.

Tips & tricks

  • Look at where the red penguins are before you go for the next star, because every star you take raises your score and brings more of them.
  • Give enemies plenty of room even when you only pass near them, since any contact ends the run.
  • Use the different floor heights to get away when an enemy is walking toward you on your platform.
  • Pick up easy stars early while the stage is still mostly empty.
