"Pengo"-style game that spends more time making silly noises than you do playing it.

Instead of being fun like the original game this is more inclined to be annoying instead. Movement is based on 2x2 character squares which makes everything very jumpy and despite the limited number of characters on screen it's quite flickery. The controls are not very responsive leading to a frustrating experience.

Yet another clone of the classic coin-op Pengo, this time a mediocre one.
Controls are not responsive enough, the characters move in a way reminiscent of BASIC written games but faster, square to square, and all that beeping does get in the way, becoming nerve wrecking after just a few plays, at least I felt that way. It's also an unfair difficult game, just because of the erratic way in which is written. But it features some cute little sprites, which is the redeeming feature of the game.
