Thrill Penguin

Great stuff.

Me ha gustado mucho el control. Se hace bastante sencillo el manejo y lo mejor, podría funcionar en cualquier PC de bajos recursos. El juego es un reto bastante importante pero es justo. Interesante para aquellos que les guste superarse, ya que el juego mide tiempos y muertes.

I was looking around for penguin games one day, and I happened to stubble upon this underground gem! Thrill Penguin is a pretty good and polished platformer, but MAN can it be difficult at times! Controlling the penguin is very smooth, and the speediness of it allows it to keep my attention span for more than 12 seconds lol. Though sometimes, the penguin can get stuck while trying to climb walls, or it could become very stiff while trying to control it in midair. The pixelated graphics are nice and pleasant, and the soundtrack for this game gave me major Cave Story vibes. I liked how the boss spewed out fireballs in the hallways like Bowser in the first Super Mario Bros, hehe. Overall, it is a pleasant experience from beginning to end, especially if you've played games like Sonic the Hedgehog or Pizza Tower. If you're a fan of penguins like I am and you're ready for a challenge, this game is for you!

Man, Thrill Penguin is everything I love in a hard platformer: good challenges that keep you on your toes, mechanics that let you go fast as hell, clear telegraphing of the hazards and the famous trial and error that you see on your loved masocore titles. For a game as cheap as this, the time I've spent with it left me extremely satisfied and I can't recommend it enough 💢 🐧 💨

I spent about a week and a half of playing it and while there were times where I shut down the game because I felt frustrated, that frustration was never due to the game itself, but rather just to take some time away from the game because I had spent too long playing. There is a total of 60 different levels (10 levels per stage for 6 stages), all of them introduce new mechanics that are really fun to get a grasp of. There are really only two mechanics that you have to worry about, a "jump" button and a "everything else" button for slides and climbs, and the tutorial is literally just like 3 practice levels, so any nuances in movements or mechanics are up to you to find out. Also the gold medals dont require you to be frame perfect and are extremely reasonable to achieve on each level, so much so that sometimes I would get a gold, and play the level again because I knew I messed up something that would've given me a better clear time, so there is a lot of replay-ability in that sense. My only small gripes with the game is that I wish there was some boss variety, but it wasn't that big of a deal that there wasn't any AND I hate self scrolling levels, and so I was not the biggest fan of the vertical levels, especially replaying them for golds. Overall a super fun platformer and speedrunner game, that also comes at a pretty cheap price for the amount of content, highly recommended!!
