The Story
Brrr-Ambo the bull penguin has worked up a huge appetite, and there is only one thing on the menu: fish. He dives through a hole in the ice into a glittering underwater ice cave, where shoals of fish dart across from both sides.
It should be the perfect snack spot, except the roof of the cave keeps cracking. Chunks of ice pop free with an icy burst and sink towards the bottom, spinning as they go. One bump and Brrr-Ambo is knocked out cold. After 30 seconds the local seals notice the commotion and come to see who is eating their lunch. They chase Brrr-Ambo for a few seconds at a time, and the longer you last, the more seals join in. Every 30 seconds everything speeds up again. How many fish can Brrr-Ambo gobble before the ice gets him?

Tips And Tricks
- Watch the top. Every ice block bursts in at the top of the screen before it sinks, so you always get a moment of warning.
- Stay low and central. Hanging around the middle of the screen gives you room to dodge in any direction.
- Let go to slow down. Brrr-Ambo glides to a stop when you lift your finger, which is handy for small, careful moves.
- Outlast the seals. A seal only chases for a few seconds, so lead it away from the fish and keep moving until it gives up.
- Don’t chase every fish. A fish next to a falling ice block is not worth the risk. Another one will swim by soon.
- Go for quick gulps. Eating two fish within a second, or ten within 30 seconds, earns you medals.
Behind The Game
Brrr-Ambo is the bull penguin from Penguin Wack Ice Blocks, horns, googly eyes and all. This time he’s off the ice and under the water, chasing his favourite snack.
I wrote this game from scratch, and everything in it is drawn in code: Brrr-Ambo, the fish, the seals, the ice blocks and the underwater cave. The music and sounds are made in code too. I wanted Brrr-Ambo to really swim, gliding and turning smoothly towards your finger. The seals were added to make it a little harder, and I tested a few different chase times before settling on three seconds. When Brrr-Ambo gets hit, he ends up dazed with stars spinning around his head. If you like him here, try helping him clear the ice in Penguin Wack Ice Blocks.
