A játékról

Get penguins home safely in Gentoo Rescue! Penguins must coordinate with walruses, who want to escape into the water. Items let you break the rules of the game and the metagame. Discover their uses, limitations, and interactions. Will you choose the right tool for the job?

Featuring

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

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

• Hundreds of diverse, hand-crafted levels that are small and simple, but difficult.

• An exponentially growing space of interactions between items, teleporters, and more.
