The music with this game is particularly noteworthy, and the key response is the best I have seen for this type of game. Read Review

Full Instructions
Penguin
Now you have the *coolest* game on the market running, you will probably want to know how to operate it...!
Having mastered the controls (below), you (Penguin) must persuade the Snobees to lie under any passing ice-cubes. The Snobees are irritating beasties whose diet consists of ice cubes and the occasional Penguin!! They are, however, sensitive to electric bolts which fly around the edge of the combatfield (prompted by pushing hard against the walls).
To make things even more difficult, there are three indestructible diamond cubes, which when put in a line have special properties. The diamond cubes energy value tends to decrease with time so don't hang about!!
Enjoy your game and look out for more great programs from H. Soft.
