In the distant galaxy of Bleurggh, an evil (but reasonably stupid) band of aliens picked up some of Earth's television signals. Unfortunately for them, they could only tune in a wildlife program. They figured the Earth would be a pushover to invade, so they disguised themselves as its inhabitants -- penguins! Word of the invasion has reached those champions of intergalactic do-goodery, Bernard and Rodney. Now, with their help, you must prevent the alien mutant penguins from triggering the Doomscale and destroying the Earth. Are you up to the challenge?
This is the weirdest game I've ever played. I mean.. its not BAD if you're drunk or high or something. But how did they come up with this sh#t!?
I got it.. I can come up with a game like this:
How bout... You're a SHARK! and you gotta shake PALM TREES till TRAINS fall down, and you put the TRAINS in an APPLE and then TURKEYS come and eat the APPLE and...
I purposefully look out for weird, obscure games full of personality, so I'm not the best judge, but personally I'm in love with this game's weirdness. If you want new, never done before or after gameplay concepts, give this a shot. If you aren't one for something new, or just can't get past its weirdness, I'd say pass.
If you're gonna spend the $8 on this game, be prepared to beat it all in one sitting. I made it to level 16, saved it, and when I came back the next day I couldn't load the save file. I searched up and down google, YouTube playthroughs, and inquired on many posts. No one seems to know how to load the save file. I even found a PDF of the old user manual...
You're a shark, and you gotta shake palm trees 'til trains fall down, and ya put the trains in an apple, and then, turkeys come and eat the apples, and then, the turkeys go up waterfalls, and to get them down, ya have to collect monkey butts. So you drop the monkey butts on power lines, and then 🤯
Attack of the Train Apple Turkeys
Yeah. This game is as stupid as it sounds... and that's an honest compliment!
Seriously, Attack of the Mutant Penguins is altogether a stupid game, with a stupid name, and even stupider gameplay... and yet still also surprisingly stupidly fun!
Attack of the Mutant Penguins is just a weird little hidden gem that's fun...
