SMALL SLIDES. HAPPY DISCOVERIES.

Slide.
Snack.
Snuggle.

No timer, no lives to lose. Take a breath and think about where your next slide will stop.

  1. 01

    Find your next stop.

    Swipe the board, use the arrow buttons, or press arrow keys / WASD. Your penguin keeps sliding until a rock, the board edge, a snow patch, or the igloo stops it.

  2. 02

    Collect a little lunch.

    Pick up all three fish before returning to the igloo. Soft snow appears from Trail 6 and lets you stop in the middle of a route.

  3. 03

    Try a cleverer path.

    Undo and Hint are free, with no penalty. Meet a trail’s move target to earn three stars. Up to two extra moves earns two stars; any other finish earns one.

A FEW HELPFUL THINGS

Why does my penguin slide past a fish?

Fish are collected as you pass over them. They do not stop a slide. Use rocks, the edge, snow or the igloo to plan your stops.

What if I get stuck?

Use Undo to go back one move, or Retry to restart the trail. Hint finds the next move in a shortest route from your current position. If no route remains, it will tell you to undo or restart.

Can I play offline?

The Android build contains the full game and works offline. The website needs an internet connection to load; offline reopening is not guaranteed.

Where is progress stored?

Best stars, selected trail and sound preference stay on this device. An unfinished attempt starts over after a fresh launch. Reset progress in Settings, or clear site/app data. Clearing data, uninstalling or changing devices may remove progress.

Is it in app stores?

Android store publication is being prepared. This page offers the browser demo. There is no iOS listing or Apple App Store ID for this version.
