About
"Rise of the Penguins" is a 2D Side-Scrolling Action-Platformer for Gameboy. The game is meant to be simple and linear but with some challenging enemies. The game is inspired by ghost n goblins and a bit of mega man.
6 levels with a variety of enemies in each level
2 Extra Levels
Boss Rush Mode, Unlocked only after beating all 6 levels
6 mini boss enemies and 8 boss enemies(including the 2 ks ones) and a final boss
6 simple difficulty settings to adjust checkpoints to make the game harder or easier, with checkpoints resetting after a game over but modifiable through these settings.
Basic hud that shows the highscore, health and time remaining
Janky animations made by me
Minimal story with no text -but hoping the game is engaging enough to keep playing

хорошая игра
This is a great game. I like how it challenges you throughout the levels. The first boss fight was hard but it felt rewarding uppon completion. Penguins rise up
I'm a huge fan of this game! I absolutely love the unique pixel art, the adorable penguin, the music, and especially the boss fights. For real—the boss fights are so much fun! After completing the story, you unlock the boss rush mode, where you can enjoy and master the fights. It's a real challenge! I played it thoroughly on Game Boy Color, and now I'm enjoying it again via Steam. This isn't a platformer where you need intense precision, perfect timing, or skill optimization that might lead to frustration. For me, it’s a balanced and rewarding jump 'n run game with exciting boss fights. If you like games like this, you'll definitely have a great time!

Динамичный 2D-платформер в стиле ретро с пиксельной графикой и хардкорными испытаниями. Плюсы: Уникальный стиль — пиксель-арт и атмосфера старой школы; Эпичные боссы — захватывающие битвы с уникальными противниками; Настройка сложности — шесть уровней сложности на выбор. Минусы: Короткие уровни — некоторые игроки могут посчитать время на прохождение недостаточным; Неожиданные враги — иногда появляются из ниоткуда, что может раздражать; Сложное управление — может потребовать времени для привыкания. Итог: понравится любителям ретро-игр и сложных платформеров. Уникальный стиль и захватывающие битвы с боссами делают игру увлекательной, несмотря на некоторые недостатки.
Increíble juego retro-plataforma-2d, gráficos simples y con una dificultad desafiante.
Retro platform sevenler için hoş bir nostalji oyunu, Gameboy havasını iyi veriyor ve oynanışı basit ama yer yer zorlayıcı. Ghost n Goblins ve Mega Man tarzını sevenler için kısa ama keyifli, eski oyun tadı olan tatlı bir indie.
да напоминает игры с денди и вообще это не плюс, все заскриптованно и однообразно. ну а сама игра не запускается пока из папки наверх файлы не достанешь. да и устал я с этого дурацкого управления стрелочки и х=й пойми какие кнопки которые еще искать...бредятина
