Our take on Hammer Penguins
The focused matching format keeps the game centered on board-clearing rules, but that narrow structure leaves little room for combat, exploration, or character development. The five level options add challenge variation without changing the core activity.
What is Hammer Penguins?
Hammer Penguins is a tile-matching game about freeing animals trapped in ice.
Players choose pairs of tiles showing the same animal, then draw a path between them that uses no more than two turns and does not cross an occupied tile. A tile can be chosen only when an adjacent space is empty. Successful matches let Penn and Gwynne use their hammers to break the ice and release their friends. The game includes four difficulty levels plus a hidden Cow Level. Its story follows the two penguins as they rescue animals, including a badger. The vendor also says that 10% of profits go to the Greeneville-Greene County Humane Society.
