If you are logical, you'll like this game :) Help Paul the Penguin get his flappers on some yummy fish and then find his way back home. Remember, it's slippery out there, so Paul can only slide at a direction until he hits something that blocks his way. Thankfully, you can also move the snowballs to build a path for Paul to get to the yum yum fish and back home. If you played Ricochet Robots or any other of the "logical" puzzle/labyrinth games, you'll quickly get the hang of this. If not, well, try, at minimum 3 rounds and you'll be hooked like the rest of us :) Enjoy!
