Penguin Elevator is a voxel stealth-puzzle arcade game. The elevator rises floor by floor, penguins board and take their spots, and your job is simple: make room by dropping passengers through the trapdoor — but only when nobody's watching. HOW TO PLAY • Each penguin faces a direction and watches ahead of itself — 3 tiles forward, a shorter glance to each side, and it's completely blind directly behind • Tap a penguin to drop it, but only from a blind spot — get seen and every witness panics, jumping and screaming, and it's game over • Use a standing penguin as cover — vision is blocked by whoever's in the way • Earn a fish treat every 10 floors and place it to pull every penguin's attention at once • Let the elevator fill up completely with nowhere for new penguins to stand, and it's game over too FEATURES • Charming voxel penguins with directional turnaround sprites and funny push/wobble/dizzy animations • A gentle difficulty curve — relaxed and readable on the first floors, faster and more chaotic the higher you climb • Built-in illustrated tutorial explaining vision, blocking, and the fish treat • No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, no data collection — score is saved on your device How high can you climb before someone notices?
