What a magical world Penguini inhabits! Unfortunately, the cheeky seagulls keep stealing his eggs and flying off with them. He must rescue them before they fall into the sea. Not being able to fly, Penguini bounces backwards and forwards between icebergs, so it doesn't help that his habitat is melting. He must also avoid the polar bears - unless the mythical Magical Seal can be found who is the bearer of the Shield of Invincibility! He needs your help! Are you up to the challenge? With Game Center integration, track your progress on the global leaderboard and see if you can attain all 13 achievements. Now with iPad and iOS 5 support!

About

Pip

Read full description

Pip woke up at the North Pole. Penguins are from Antarctica - the other pole, a whole world away. There's only one thing to do: head south. All 20,000 kilometers of it. SOUTHBOUND is a one-touch flying game. Hold to dive. Release to soar. Dive into the downhills to build speed, launch off the crests, and stay ahead of the storm that's been behind you since the beginning. The world changes as you fly. Ice gives way to forests, forests to desert, desert to the warm middle of the world — where a penguin has no business being — and then the long, cool glide down the other side. The hills are never the same twice. Slowly, the stars turn southern. THE JOURNEY A complete story from pole to pole, told in nine climates and one very determined waddle. Play it in one sitting like a film, or one chapter at a time. Storms may slow Pip down. Nothing stops Pip. - One finger. That's the whole tutorial. - No lives, no energy meters, no waiting. - Chill mode, for smaller penguins. THE HONEST PART Free. No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. Nothing tracks you across the internet. Made by one person (and reviewed by an 8-year-old) at Littlest Bee Games because games like this should still exist. Game Center leaderboards included for bragging rights. Nobody knows how Pip ended up north. Pip isn't telling. South is that way ->
