The music is a little weird but I love penguins so much. They’re so cute. That’s why I got the app. I literally have 10 other apps that are penguin ones and this one is so good. I love it from gamer MJ. ### 5/5 — Must get *2025-01-10, version 1.1.1* Absolutely love it ### 5/5 — amazing *2024-11-07, version 1.1.1* This game is the best ### 5/5 — 5 star a little *2024-11-01, version 1.1.1* Its very fun but kind of slow ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2024-10-20, version 1.1.1* Childhood game graphics not too good but memories hit hard ### 5/5 — Changed my life *2024-07-27, version 1.1.1* Straight up made me lose consciousness of time and reality. I looked down at myself and realized i had become a penguin ### 3/5 — Creepy but fun 🫣😱🐻 *2024-07-19, version 1.1.1* This game is fun but remove the Ads.what creeps me the most out is the Bear.I found out that the bear Sneak up behind you.I was creeped out with that so as the Polar bear and why are there so many sharks in the Ocean.I don’t know About you guys, but I see a big Tarantula in the background and a house too.I don’t know what they do to the game.plus it’s very hard to control the Penguin and give us more time to explore and play.like about six or five minutes at least. But although this game is fun sill But I recommend to change the game so that it can be better and more fun that way. ### 5/5 — Changed my life *2024-07-06* Immediately I was compelled by its ethereal graphics, majestic animations, and, what’s more, its lustful, oily (🤤) models. Within the first few minutes I greedily played, grieved, stared, and felt the emotional impact it consisted beneath its stunning imagery that gleefully met upon my own obstructed eyes. The first hour changed me, I began quacking, I stood up, dropped my phone whilst my sight refused to leave the screen, and hysterically rolled a tear, subsequently escalating to a stream down my face. Five hours in, I was a penguin ### 5/5 — Life changing *2024-05-21, version 1.1.1* My whole family blew up the other day due to Gus frings chicken and I was so sad I had to call on Hank. even gone into a state where I was partying with Jesse but this game Really had me feeling like a mini pekka. Brilliant game would recommend anyone with depression. ### 4/5 — Okay *2024-04-20, version 1.1.1* Guys don’t get me ring I love this game it’s funny and I love penguins they are adorable 😍. But it’s a little violence who knew it was just going to be going around attacking people? It’s a good kids game but probably for kids 10 and up. It’s also just the like, how their is so many ads it takes up all my battery on my phone. I would recommend this to one of my friends but I don’t think she will even like that. ### 3/5 — I didn't understanding hoy to play *2024-04-07* Om, so I saw people wearing that this is a good game in blah blah but when I installed this game, I didn’t understand. Why was there a timer? I told this was a free game and the only thing I did was pushing people and things and penguins. I didn’t even know how to how to jump to get on the floor I think. Well, I’m just gonna put a tree because everyone is saying that this is a good game. They’re giving a five or a four but I’m sorry I’m just telling you that it’s like there’s nothing to do just pushing people. ### 5/5 — penguin simulator *2024-04-03, version 1.1.1* this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SO HORRIBLE!🫣🫣🫣🫣 *2025-12-30, version 1.1.1* It is so not fun and all you can do is to walk around bumping people, and even worse, there is timer so you can’t play very long, and even even worse is that this game has ads and there is nothing you can do about it. ### 1/5 — bad, but good *2025-09-15, version 1.1.1* im only rating this because its nostalgic. bye. ### 1/5 — So scary *2025-08-27, version 1.1.1* This game was good until i saw the big spider and i got so scared i jumped me hit my head, which in term made me loose my memory and start thinking my darling sons name is dingleslop ### 1/5 — Help *2024-02-24, version 1.1.1* Giant spider eat penguin face please help at dark map big spider as big as house ### 1/5 — SPIDER X PENGUEN *2022-10-19, version 1.1.1* Only in ohio💀 ### 1/5 — This game is ok *2022-09-04, version 1.1.1* It’s not good at all ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-06-14, version 1.1.1* The son got aids from this game pay for his medical bills. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2022-03-02, version 1.1.1* Ok I played this game the graphics are rubbish and there is a giant spider which looks scary and when u go up to it the game glitches. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-02-05* I was first looking for some animal games then I found this. When I first went into the game it glitched me out. Second time I tried it glitched me out again. About 5 times of pressing the tab it finally worked. I started fooling around with it and nothing really to do in this game. All you do is go around islands and there isn’t really and action in this game. Never download. There might be other good reviews but for me it was bbbbaaaadddd ### 1/5 — NOT FOR KIDS. *2021-09-01, version 1.1.1* I saw this app rated 4 and under, but in this game your a penguin who is destroying, and don’t forget KILLING, humans and animals in this game.
