Frantic Pengo

Post by gabriele amore »

Hello There!

Frantic Pengo is a silly new arcade game inspired to Pengo (and to those wonderful Japanese early 80s coin ops)
You play the role of Pengo the bold and faithful penguin, trying to rescue your true love (Penga) that has been kidnapped by the evil Lava Monsters

Throughout 14 screens (including a final boss) you will have to kill all the monsters by crushing them using the available blocks: ice, stones or lava!
(simply push the M key while pressing directional key: OPQA; the final boss has to be hit several times before dying)

Once all monsters are cleared you will be able to collect your true love's harts and proceed to the next level.
Beware: lava monsters will respawn after death if even just one magic cauldron is in the screen (you can destroy those cauldrons using the blocks)

Some of the enemies cannot be killed: these are the garden snakes and the blue sentinels (which is some screen can also move around)

The game includes some wonderful tunes created by Pedro Pimenta, gorgeous tape layout and labels made by Lobo (please find them is the dropbox folder)
the game was made using AGDxmini with the great help of Sebastian Braunert and Allan Turvey

AGDx mini is a wonderful development of AGD made by Allan Turvey
AGD is a sepctacular tool created by Jonathan Cauldwell

Cute! It reminds me of some of your CGD created games, but this one does a lot more. I love the music and the final boss too.

Very nicely done, "seemingly" simple with addictive gameplay and a tune that suits it just right.

Aptly named as indeed frantic at times, and no unfair deaths...only my poor judgement...

Lovely little game!
