About This Game

Get penguins home safely in Gentoo Rescue! Penguins must coordinate with walruses, who just want to escape into the water. Items let you break the rules of the game in progressively more extreme ways. They each come with drawbacks, though, so tread carefully.

Featuring

• Penguins, walruses, and fish! They offer opposing win conditions and turn every mechanic into a double-edged sword.

• Over 250 diverse, hand-crafted levels that are simple, but difficult.

• An interconnected network of puzzles with item-based progression and meta twists.

• Exponentially growing list of emergent interactions between items and other elements.

• Journal for tracking mechanics, which also marks entries required for the current puzzle.

• A tiered hint system for when you're truly stuck. These teach a deduction-based approach.

• A post-game score-based "challenge mode" containing over a million puzzles.

• Original music.

Accessibility

• No time-sensitive inputs, with undo and redo binds that work through resets.

• Colorblind friendly with customizable colors.

• Use controller, keyboard, or mouse with customizable binds. (Note: Puzzle editor requires a mouse.)

• Most puzzles are optional for progression, and a setting makes any puzzle skippable.

• Old solutions are saved, and previously seen puzzles can be reentered from menu.

• Many other QoL features and options.
