Catch all the fish you can as you dive through the cold waters of Antarctica! But watch out! As global warming keeps getting worse, so are the odds of survival. Hold the screen to dive and release to swim up. If your health/oxygen bar gets too low, go get some air! When you play Hungry Penguin, you are helping real penguins :) We teamed up with Global Penguin Society to donate half our income to the protectionof penguins and their habitats around the world!
