How to get "unlimited" money: Refresh the page immediately after upgrading the penguins. You'll keep your money but you'll also get the upgrades. This can save a lot of grinding time. NOTE: This only works on the penguin upgrades, does NOT work on the general upgrades (speed boost, life boost, extra penguin, bombs).

The game was pretty fun and I liked the concept. However, the menus aren't clear enough. They are a little messy, with typos, and the options menu basically do very little to nothing. You get to choose quality, which you can barely see it changing; the mute button doesn't work, which is a bit of a problem when the game starts off without any sound/music. I basically gave it 3 stars before I noticed you could activate the music ONLY during gameplay at that little "M" icon at the corner. Also, I wish we could click back at the bomb icon to remove from the cursor and don't activate it by accident. It's a great game with a few flaws.

Game was made in one day? It shows. No proper testing. Earned money is arbitrary, doesn't matter what you do. Music is harsh and abrasive. Orch. Hit is not an instrument. Pengies are stupid and keep missing for no sane reason, or uncannily lucky and end level too quickly and you get practically nothing. For a game that records all your numbers, this is a colossal no-no.

Could you make the bomb stay in the cursor if that's the only special ability left? I lost time of collecting coinage some levels due to having to go down to the left corner to keep selecting the bomb. Other than that the game was relatively enjoyable.

Aaahh penguin overlords, I remember staying up until 3am trying to finish this game, which I did! The satisfaction that ensued was great

I enjoyed it and got all 4 badges, main issues were not being to easily collect the plops after progressing, getting an absurd amount of money on one level but then getting not even half on the next levels was odd, also penguin AI kind of annoying sometimes. I will give this 4 stars because 3.5 is not allowed

Drakon Lameth: how the hell did you get the idea that a game from 2011 was a 2018 + modern game. The date when the games were published is always right under the game screen

Save your bombs for when a penguin gets stuck behind a wall. Kill the turtle it was aiming for and it will switch targets, hopefully getting unstuck.

The tutorials were so "Do this, do this, do this." hand hold-y, I thought this was a modern (2018+) AAA game, and the lack of intelligent AI (yes, I enjoy a penguin spending 2 seconds walking against a chunk of ice because there's a turtle on the other side instead of going around) definitely doesn't hurt parts of that assumption.

They should probably just let the money spheres stay on the stage and if we fail to collect it, they should just collect it automatically. This game is fun but thats a problem tho

if you have it unlocked, level 30 seems like the best place to grind for cash, those spawner turtles give 200$ quite often

Needs better way to get money. Usually I just end up getting like a third of what there actually is on the map. otherwise 4/5

This game is really nice but pathfinding scripts are programmed really really bad, often penguins are used to run straight on obstacles and they keep running against them without getting around them.

Money exploit: Buy an upgrade, press "back", refresh the page. You'll keep the upgrade and the money you just spent will come back too. Collecting money is super annoying in this game sadly so I hope this will be of use!

The fact it closes the screen before I can finish collecting cash orbs really annoys me no end and make a grinder of a game even harder to progress... 2 stars

The targeting system is really messed up. A penguin will continue chasing after a hidden turtle until he actually finds it, then will travel back across the entire stage to another turtle that has also now hidden itself... ad nauseum. Penguins will also try to chase their target turtle without end if they're stuck behind a bush even if there's another turtle right on top of them. I would really like to use my bombs to protect my penguins from damage instead of just to stop them from being idiots.

Would have liked it more if the penguins could walk around walls, the money autocollected at the end of levels, the money didn't disappear as I am trying to pick it up, and if those teleporting turtles weren't so darn hard to kill.

It's really annoying to need to use the tip of the mouse to grab the reward, ANNOYING! Auto collect would be so easier, would make the game so much better! I have no idea why give badges to this!

Couple things i want to say about this game.
1st money balloons need to be removed because you can't really catch them all ( because abysmal range of magnet and they wanish almost instantly) and can't enjoy managing your troops so to say, instead you need to.
I always felt that this collecting money part was always just to deter your attention from part where game is really boring.
2nd better tracking for pengus, at least make it so if he is stuck for more than 5 seconds track target that is not behind barrier OR make them go back a little and maybe then they can avoid ostacle.
overall 3/5 because of b******t money grabbing and s****y tracking ah. also make it so turtles can't shoot off the f*****g screen and their bullets don't penetrate barriers. that is b******t

I agree with people wanting a money collecting upgrade. It would also be great to be able to click on a penguin to have it change its random orientation of which turtle to run after. Manual click would keep the game vibe and use of obstacles alive.

I would like a sequel to this game Penguin Overlords. This game was way too easy for me. Was not difficult at all. Did make me think a lot and I love that! Do you have plans on making a sequel to this game Xdragonx10? Looking forward to your reply to my comment. Thank you!

The music is a cover of Dearly Beloved from Kingdom Hearts. I'm surprised there hasn't been any copyright issues for it.

For those complaining about hedges, I think that is what the bombs are supposed to be for. If you can figure out which turtle your brain dead penguins are going for, you can help their pathing a bit. Not enough really, but a bit. Also, IMO the best upgrade by far is the body. It adds a lot of health per upgrade, which is essential in a game where you naturally lose a lot of hp each second. Dev should consider adding hotkeys and something to at least mute the music. It is ok music, but it does get old after a bit and while yes I can mute all of my browser, I would rather be able to just mute this so I don't have to use two different types of browsers. Unfortunately chrome at least doesn't let me use mixer to control individual tab noise. There may be work arounds, but I feel like a couple of options to customize a few settings would go a LONG way to making this feel like a polished experience rather than just a neat idea kind of slopped together into a game.
