About

Waddle Royale

Features
Read full description

Nine penguins. One sheet of ice. Only one gets to waddle home a winner. Push your snowball and watch it grow. The bigger it gets, the harder it hits. Let go to throw it, or ram it straight into a rival and send them flying into the sea. Every knockout makes your penguin bigger, and bigger penguins are harder to shift. While you roll, the ice is cracking. Pieces flash, then drop into the water, and the floe gets smaller and smaller until only one penguin is left standing. HOW TO PLAY • Drag anywhere to steer. Your penguin pushes its snowball as it walks. • Let go to throw. Bigger balls fly further and hit harder. • Slip off the edge? You get one chance to be saved each round. • Be the last penguin on the ice. WHAT'S INSIDE • Quick rounds against eight rivals, each with its own style of play • Five ice fields that break apart in their own way: a round floe, a cross, a honeycomb, a star and twin floes joined by a bridge • 50 looks to unlock: hats, scarves and capes, penguin breeds, and whole characters like a polar bear, a yeti, a walrus, a snowman, a robot and a friendly little alien • A new Cup special every month: win five rounds in a row to take it home • Ranks from bronze to legend, a prize wheel after every round, and your lifetime stats • One-finger controls on phones and tablets • 15 languages • No account, no sign-in, nothing to wait for Ads keep the game free: an occasional short video between rounds and a small banner. Every other video is your choice, like the one that saves you from the water.
