Amazing Penguin is a frantic action-maze game developed by Natsume for the Game Boy in 1990. Taking cues from classics like Qix and Pac-Man, you control Prince Pendrich across 40 grid-based stages, tasked with clearing lines and activating switches while dodging enemies to save your kingdom.
How to Play
Your goal is to clear all the specific marked lines and switches on the grid. Walking over lines clears them, and completing a section will destroy any enemies caught on those borders. Since this is a Game Boy title, use the Arrow keys for the D-pad to move, Z/X for the A/B buttons to attack if you grab a power-up, and Enter/Shift for Start/Select.
Tips
- Trap strategically: You can wait near an almost-finished shape and close it just as multiple enemies step onto its lines to clear them out at once.
- Mind the clock: The strict time limit means you can’t always wait for the perfect trap; keep moving to clear lines quickly.
