About this game

Based on the documentary, this Game Boy Advance puzzle-action game follows emperor penguins travelling between their breeding colony and the Antarctic sea. Help the adults find food, care for an egg and reunite with their families. Place bridges, ramps and other tools to guide the moving colony past obstacles. Other stages involve sliding through ice mazes, swimming for food while managing air, or carrying an egg to a warm part of the colony. Collect the required snowflakes and use the Expedition Log to replay completed chapters.
