The goal of this game is to rescue the penguin from the hole in the ice by stacking fish under it. A fish comes to the penguin’s aid when the player answers a question correctly. The top-most fish will vanish when the player answers a question incorrectly. Once enough fish are stacked (6), the penguin is advanced to the next level, and starts over from the bottom.
Game attributes:
- Win: The player wins by completing all questions and passing the test.
- Lose: The player loses when time runs out, the test is failed, or the penguin isn’t rescued (see <Drown Mode>).
- Playability: No strategy/skills required to play the game.
- Test score: Questions that the player did not reach before the game ended will be counted as mistakes in the test.
- Special features: The player may use special lifelines, including “switch the question” and “fifty-fifty”.
