Penguin Brothers is a single-screen action platformer released for the arcade by Subsino in 2000. Blending the frantic enemy-clearing pace of games like Bubble Bobble with explosive mechanics, the game tasks you with clearing stages by throwing bombs. You navigate tight, single-screen layouts, dodging hazards and catching enemies in blast radii to turn them into projectiles.
How to Play
Your objective in each stage is to eliminate every enemy on the screen. Once the area is clear, a key drops that must be collected to unlock the exit to the next level. Use Shift to insert coins and Enter to start. Move your penguin with the Arrow Keys, use Z to place or throw bombs, and press X to jump.
Tips
- Chain reactions: Placing bombs near each other allows you to set off massive explosions, which is essential for catching faster enemies or clearing crowded platforms.
- Throwing enemies: When an enemy is stunned by a blast, quickly pick them up and throw them into other enemies for bonus points and efficient wave clearing.
- Watch the fuse: Bombs take a moment to detonate. Learn the timing of the fuse so you can drop a bomb and retreat to a safe distance without taking damage.
