Run Penguin: Tap Jump Runner

A retro pixel runner across the Antarctic ice. One tap is the entire control scheme.

TAP TO JUMP
No buttons, no D-pad. Tap anywhere and the penguin leaps.
Dropped into a crack or an ice hole? Tap again to scramble out.

CLEAR IT, OR LOSE TIME
Cracks, ice holes and basking seals sit right on your line. Clip a seal and
three seconds come off the clock.
Snatch fish (+100) and red flags (+300) mid-air. A yellow flag drops a
propeller hat on your head for a short double jump and glide.

REACH THE BASE IN TIME
Every second still on the clock when you hit the base turns into bonus points.
Each stage runs longer, hands you less time and pushes you faster.
Let the timer reach zero and the run ends there.

DAY, DUSK, NIGHT
The sky palette rotates with every stage. Same continent, completely different mood.

PIXELS AND CHIPTUNE
Everything is drawn into a 240-pixel buffer and blown up with hard edges, then
finished with CRT scanlines. The soundtrack is a 3/4 waltz chiptune written in
Web Audio, sound effects and all.

Out of time? Watch an ad and keep running from the spot you stopped. Show up once
a day for a rewarded ad and take home one extra revive.
No account, no purchases, no connection required.
The game follows your device language — Korean or English.
