(Readers, don't write to tell us polar bears live in the North Pole and penguins in the South – tell publisher Digital Chocolate.)Įach of the levels in the main Campaign game are split into two sections: there's the catapulting part and the diving part. To start with, your helmet-wearing penguins line up and take turns at the catapult, where pressing '5' fires them forwards. It's not quite as simple as it sounds, though.
There's a sweet spot that propels your penguins through a speed ring, making the subsequent diving segment a lot more effective. If you get it completely wrong, a penguin can end up splattered into the ice, meaning you lose one dive opportunity at the bears – which can prove costly. So, once you've finished the firing, the game cuts to one penguin at a time flying though the air like a black and white torpedo. In this segment, pressing '5' now instigates a dive that needs to be activated at the right point above a polar bear in order to successfully hit it.Īdding a little complexity is the fact each penguin has a limited number of bounces, too, so if your dive is timed right you can take down several bears in one go. To further complicate things, ice occasionally gets in the way and needs to be smashed through to reach the bear beneath it. Resorting to specialised penguins, such as the flaming kind, ensure a more efficient way of getting through the ice, although if you've run out there are also switches on some levels which detonate the obstructions.Įvery level is different, with a target number of polar bears to take out in order to progress. Even if you successfully pass a level, though, you can go back to it later to try and win full points. You'll want to in order to make the game last longer – played from start to finish, it's possible to get through it in just half an hour.īut this bit of Crazy Penguin Catapult is clearly aimed at younger gamers, so the easiness of completing it isn't a major problem.
