In this segment, pressing '5' now instigates a dive that needs to be activated at the right point above a polar bear in order to successfully hit it.Īdding a little complexity is the fact each penguin has a limited number of bounces, too, so if your dive is timed right you can take down several bears in one go. So, once you've finished the firing, the game cuts to one penguin at a time flying though the air like a black and white torpedo.
If you get it completely wrong, a penguin can end up splattered into the ice, meaning you lose one dive opportunity at the bears – which can prove costly.
There's a sweet spot that propels your penguins through a speed ring, making the subsequent diving segment a lot more effective. It's not quite as simple as it sounds, though. To start with, your helmet-wearing penguins line up and take turns at the catapult, where pressing '5' fires them forwards. (Readers, don't write to tell us polar bears live in the North Pole and penguins in the South – tell publisher Digital Chocolate.)Įach of the levels in the main Campaign game are split into two sections: there's the catapulting part and the diving part. Not that they're having too much fun here – in a quest to rescue their kidnapped penguin pals from the (evil) polar bears, their only hope is to catapult themselves at the unsuspecting vicious mammals in order to knock them out. That's the bit everyone seems to ignore.Īnyway, Crazy Penguin Catapult is the latest game to choose the flightless birds as its fun-loving animal stars. But, hey, they're only doing it so they can munch the heads off fish. Presumably the penguins' playful reputation stems from their fondness for diving, as well as their frolics under water. Hence the latter's appearance in films (and games) like Happy Feet, where they dance, or Surf's Up, where they get around on surf boards. Dolphins are happy and mischievous, elephants are a bit clumsy but smart, and penguins like nothing more than to play all day.
Dogs are friendly, but their close relations, wolves, are not. For instance, polar bears are always evil, and so are sea lions and sharks. It's funny how people ascribe different personalities to animals.
