********* GamePad MFI Control Compatible ******* Pengios uses a four-position joystick and a single button to control, a penguin. Pressing the button while pushing the joystick against an ice block will slide it in that direction until it hits another block or a wall. If that direction is occupied by another block, pressing the button will crush the block instead. The goal is to destroy every SnowBees of level, we have three ways to destroy them: 1. Sliding ice blocks to crush them. 2. Crushing blocks that contain eggs (Blinking blocks) 3. Running over them after stunning them at a wall. At the start of each Level blocks flash to indicate that they contain eggs. As the player destroys active SnowBees, new ones birth from the eggs to replace them. The SnowBees can crush blocks in an attempt to reach Pengo. Pushing against a wall causes it to tired and temporarily stuns any SnowBees in contact with it. Three blocks in each round are marked with diamonds and cannot be crushed. Arranging these blocks in a continuous horizontal or vertical line awards bonus points and temporarily tired every active SnowBee. The game includes a total of 16 Levels.
