Petri the Jolly Penguin needs your guidance to complete each level. Dive and jump around, paint cubes, run away from enemies, collect candy, hunt for fish and squids, avoid traps and obstacles, be quick! Beware of falling cubes! * Play with a single finger. Swipe diagonally in any direction needed. Anywhere on the screen. Make a longer swipe for longer jumps. * Alternatively touch any neighboring cube to make Petri jump towards it. Touch longer or harder a cube in any four directions to jump over multiple cubes and obstacles. * Play single-screen multiplayer with a friend. Team up against sharks, orcas, yetis and snakes, or go against each other to see who would survive longer and paint more cubes. * Get rid of enemies - freeze or drown them by using the snowflake and sun bonuses. * Top up your lives by trading 10 of your hard-earned gold stars for a Life Bonus that you need to catch. * Ran out of lives? No problem, just share your achievement and continue from where you left off. * Start at Easy Skill, the game will increase your difficulty level once you finish a full round of levels. Game Rules: Each level completes when all tower cubes are painted. 3 gold stars are granted for each level if: - the level is complete within the time limit - no candy is left uneaten on the tower - there was no player casualty during the level Enemies are not born equal. Some are plain stupid, others are really smart and nasty. Use the helicopters to get rid of the worst ones - the snakes. They would only die while trying to catch you in the air… Single-Screen Multiplayer Modes: Team Play - Help each other paint the tower as fast as possible with as little damage as you can! DeathMatch - Last man standing wins. Make sure to survive longer but keep an eye on the painted cube count! Paint Mania - Let the best painter win! The more painted cubes, the better! Time Attack - Level completes only when the time is up. Repaint as many opponent cubes as possible! All multiplayer modes - DON’T overload cubes - landslides! We respect your privacy and your joy - we don't collect any personal data, neither do we spoil your gaming with ads. Just buy once and play as much as you like - for no additional cost, on all of your iOS devices. No in-app purchases needed, no subscriptions, just enjoy and let us know if you'd like something to be better. *** A kind notice to iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPad Mini owners: While we’ve put reasonable efforts into supporting and testing the game on these traditional devices, they simply can’t provide the same enjoyable experience as with newer devices. You’re going to miss some features such as 60 FPS animation, realistic character reflections, shiny cubes and items, a whole bunch of funny animations to cheer you up even if you don’t win.
