About Penguin Overlords Game
The penguins do the chasing. Your job in Penguin Overlords is to keep their campaign moving: collect what the defeated turtles leave behind, spend it on the squad and watch what happens in the next battle. It looks like a game about marching a little army around, but you are not steering each penguin with the arrow keys. The fighting is automatic; the decisions around it belong to you.
Xdragonx10’s game sends the squad against turtles with different abilities across forty levels. The developer lists ten turtle types, twenty upgrades for each penguin and four special powers that can also be improved. Those choices give you something to think about after a defeat. Look at the part of the encounter that went wrong before spending the next batch of eggs.
Do not get so absorbed in watching a penguin catch its next meal that you forget to collect the eggs. They are part of the route to a stronger squad. At the same time, collection is not the whole battle: keep an eye on the surviving enemies and on how your penguins are doing. One attempt can tell you which upgrade to try next, even when the squad does not make it through.
How to Play Penguin Overlords Game

- Begin a level and watch the penguins pursue turtles automatically. You do not need to issue keyboard movement orders.

Tips for a better round
