More about Angry Penguin

Steam's global achievement data puts about 9 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 2.3-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 6 of the 324 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,362 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 406 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 90 percent of the 152 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 47 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 2.3 hours. Doing everything runs 10, 4.4 times as long.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 2.3 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

This is an amazing game. What they have made here is nothing but short of amazing. If you are a fan of retro platforms, buy this and give these men money, they deserve it. Its also satisfying once you learn how to beat it.

Fini le jeu en facile : 3h21 - 244 mort Jeu sympa, bonne mécanique de mouvement qui n'est pas frustrante (ce qui est important dans ce type de jeu). Embiance sympa et nostalgique des vieux jeux plateformers, bien qu'un peut ragent.
