~~ULTRA GLITCH~~
Gather some money..Purchase upgrades...start a level...Quit to main menu. Your Previous money is back and your purchased upgrades are kept ;)

TIPS: penguin stuck on an obstacle? use bombs to kill the turtles your penguin is trying to reach. Use the extra penguins in hard to reach areas or near shooter turtles at the top of the screen for best effect. It costs way less to buy the extra penguin than it does to upgrade a penguin to that same level. Farm level 30 for money. Bombs should also be saved to get that last out of reach turtle before your penguin dies or the pesky teleport turtle they cant catch. I hope this helps anyone struggling

I will never again look down on "magnet" upgrades. Collecting money was annoying in this game, as was the penguins AI: they locked on to a seemingly random turtle, ignoring the one right next to them and get stuck on a wall for half the stage.

5/5 Gameplay. -1 for stupid money collecting. -1 for making the money disappear/levels end too quickly to collect. -1 for making no upgrades to your collecting ability. Final score: 2 stars.

serious the penguin AI is retarded. two of them left and both stuck at a bush while a few turtles remain. i fail the staged because their health just dwindled down. WTF is that? Excellent game but penguins should have brain upgrades

Pathfinding is ridiculous. Once a penguin has locked onto a target, it will continue to walk toward that target, even if it means walking perpetually into a wall. I know this game was made in a day, but there's a lot missing that could have been programmed in that one day. I should not be losing levels because my penguins are too incompetent to detect walls or switch targets.

I thought the game was pretty fun, but usually the difficulty and money rewarded ramp up steadily. This was a bit too up and down.

Once you're past the Desert, the fastest way to farm money is to play level 30 over and over, it's even faster than some Metal levels

The ending is so bad... I just killed the normal turtle and it was over... no ending text no final boss it was just over in a second...

Wow. This game is just not fun at all. All the buttons are incredibly small, the screen transitions are slow and out of place, and it's just an overall unintuitive game. I hardly need a tutorial when the game plays itself. I don't need hand-holding when all I have to do is collect the money dropped and use that to buy upgrades. I could figure that much out myself. I'm just here for the badge of the day. Got it and now I'm out of here.

I'm starving and there are tons of food RIGHT BESIDE ME. Best thing to do? Bang my head against the wall to try to knock it down to get the one that's all the way at the other end of the room. Yep sounds right.

Note: There is no downside for skipping upgrades. So try to do that for your second, third, and so on penguins. Also, zooming out may help make looting easier.

Yeah. Sure. Penguins spend rest of their lives chasing teleporting turtles instead of killing turtles which fkin shoot them to pieces. Or find 2 rocks an impassable obstacle. Bloody hell, I would call this game shit, but I'm afraid fertiliser might be offended.

The birds not only walk into walls but they keep chasing a turtle even if it teleports to the other corner of the map and a closer stationary target is not a centimeter away.

Max Egg collecting tip:
While you are playing, keep a sweeping clockwise motion and collect the eggs as you go. Forget about the ones appearing behind your cursor, get them the next time you sweep around. Every 2nd sweep or so as you pass the bottom left see if you need to heal your guys. You'll get the hang of when you will need it as you go.
If it helps, after using your powerups, bring out the bomb powerup. Just click it and the bomb will appear. Having the bomb selected helps you keep track of your cursor as you collect eggs on the more hectic stages.
Good Luck Legends!

I agree with LiamDC: There should be an upgradable 'Proximity Pickup' for your cursos; if you have fully upgraded penguins and activate the Speed Boost perk, it becomes challenging to pick up the big money without it fading and nearly impossible to pickup the money left on the field. +If you agree.

A magnet coin/money option for an upgrade would be really awesome and top this game of nicely.
I find myself missing out due to my penguins knocking off the turtles faster than the money can be collected and lose my earnings :(

The ability to bind the special abilities to the keyboard would be helpful. It's a bit tough to use a special without missing a ton of money, especially later in the game. Would also be nice if there was an upgrade for the money magnet.
Great game, just wish there was more!!!

The pick-up radius for the cash is too small, there are no keybindings for the power-ups and the penguins can't run around obstacles or change targets.

I know this is an old game, but...
The progression is odd - level 30 nets twice as much money as level 37.
The controls are weird - the egg collecting (even with magnet) is annoying
The penguins are stupid - they keep running into walls

Needs to either have a collecting upgrade, eggs left on screen need to stop level end, or any eggs left on screen get auto-collected. I hate seeing a big stash appear at the last second and I have no way to get it before the level finishes

Save your money to buy the "Extra Penguin" upgrade, it's a lot cheaper than upgrading a single penguin with the armor. i.e. The $7500 for the Extra Zombie is a steal compared to the $16200 for just one penguin to be upgraded to that. If you can manage to get the extra Zombie just summon it at the beginning and use the health boost if needed, you should be able to breeze through most levels up until some of the Desert ones. Then just save up for the Robot ;)
