The title alone has me intrigued enough to play it. It can be anything. Could be an action game or a strategy of some sort involving penguins. Maybe it's something completely different. Well, it certainly different than I thought, and there's only a total of one penguin. It's basically a dodgeball-esque game with a cast animals.
Some guy who likes to play a lot of games, both old and new, but rarely finishes any of them. This is a series of posts about his thoughts on classic games beaten for the first time or any random game he picked up and plays.

Some Random Game: Penguin Wars (Game Boy)
Note: I played through the whole thing before noticing the actual cover.
The title alone has me intrigued enough to play it. It can be anything. Could be an action game or a strategy of some sort involving penguins. Maybe it's something completely different. Well, it certainly different than I thought, and there's only a total of one penguin. It's basically a dodgeball-esque game with a cast animals.
The objective is simply to throw as many balls to the opponent side side of the field as you can in 60 seconds. With your balls, you have the ability to smack the opposing animal and stun it. Having all 10 balls on the opposide side wins you a round and each match is best of three. Afterwards, the game just starts up again with the AI getting more ruthless. There are six animals to choose from with their own strengths and weaknesses. I went with the penguin, because it seems to be the most natural thing to. That's all there is to the game, and it's kind of decent. It's a very short pick up and play kind of game with some cute perks. Besides, who wouldn't like to take down forest critters in a game of dodgeball?
