    Overview

    Tux and Penny were out having a nice picnic on the ice fields of Antarctica. Suddenly, a creature jumped from behind an ice bush, there was a flash, and Tux fell asleep!

    When Tux wakes up, he finds that Penny is missing. Where she lay before now lies a letter: "Tux, my arch enemy! I have captured your beautiful Penny and have taken her to my fortress. The path to my fortress is littered with my minions. Give up on the thought of trying to reclaim her, you haven't got a chance! Nolok"

    Tux looks and sees Nolok's fortress in the distance. Determined to save his beloved Penny, he begins his journey.

    Tips

    1. Tux can pick up objects by holding the Action key. Release it while standing still to drop the object; let go while moving and he throws it.
    2. When running, Tux throws the object in an arch.
    3. Levels can sometimes house a secret exit that reveals a hidden, alternate path, so keep an eye out for suspicious spots on the worldmap.
    4. Some doors need a key to enter.
