I have a suggestion: Maybe but some kind of RPG element into it? For example, your penguin can fight against other birds who CAN fly, feeding it burgers can sort of give it a buff, certain fishes gives you a better chance to fight special birds, and achieving a high enough score or play time can unlock new areas to explore.
