Battle royale. Meet the couch.
Pengo Royale started with an afternoon at a retro arcade and one question: what happens when you mix the block-kicking fun of Pengo with Bomberman-style mayhem and last-player-standing competition?
The answer is a fast, silly local multiplayer brawler full of penguins, power-ups, and short rounds. The original Asset Pack Games one-man experiment was released as a free tech demo on Steam.
One more round?
- Local multiplayer built for a room full of friends.
- Fast battle royale rounds that last about a minute.
- Block-kicking, power-ups, and cartoon characters.
