My Review Of Penguin Break

Penguin Break By GameFlow Entertainment

GameFlow Entertainment has taken the bubble popping game genre and made it fun again. Not only did they change the bubbles to adorable penguins, but they added the element of colored snowballs which must be thrown to clear the penguins. This new element adds a slight degree of difficulty to this hand eye coordination based game. Penguin Break also increases in difficulty as each new level is reached.

Penguin Break has two modes of play, the first of which, is Escape. In Escape Mode you are given columns of colored penguins which start out at varied heights. The object here is to throw colored snowballs at the matching colored penguins to clear them before one escapes from the top of the screen. If you find yourself unable to throw the snowballs fast enough to clear the ever-rising stacks of penguins, you can give your iPhone or iPod a shake and it will drop the higher up penguins down into the lower columns, giving you a short window of opportunity to catch up on your snowball assault. In this mode it isn't necessary to clear all the penguins, but rather to clear a certain number of peguins during the alotted time.

The second mode of play is Frenzy. Frenzy mode starts with a screen that gets totally filled with these colorful critters. The object is to throw the colored snowballs at their colored penguin counterpart to clear them from the screen. All penguins must be removed within the time limit in order to advance to the next level. In Frenzy Mode their are several powerups you can earn which help you to clear the penguins. Each powerup is explained nicely in the included tutorial menu.

Personal high scores for each mode are stored within the game, and only your top ten best scores will be recorded. The in-game scores are stored with any username or alias you wish to use. Each time you get a new high score, you have the option of connecting to Facebook and posting your score to your wall to compare with your friends. Your facebook friends' scores will also show up in the in-game top scores list under the friends tab.

Penguin Break is loads of fun, and is packed with hours of playability. If you've ever enjoyed popping balloons, or matching gems, you will enjoy playing Penguin Break. This is definately a nice spin on the classic games in this genre.
