Bomb defusing fun with Penguin Invasion on the iPhone

I won’t assume that the work of a bomb squad could be fun. However, a simple iPhone game, Penguin Invasion from Frogames is just fast and is an exciting game. It’s all about defusing bombs.

The story line of this simple game has a global warming message. The ice caps are melting and it has become a threat to the animals that have live there in the polar region for ages. The cause being a result of reckless and unchecked human exploitation of nature, the penguins are coming to attack human race.

Complicated theme right, but the game is not that sophisticated.

The penguins are hurling bombs and you have to defuse them before they explode. There are two types of bomb, one is dormant and the other one is super active. You have to tap on the active ones to defuse and leave the dormant ones untouched.

If you are too slow, the active ones would explode, which shortens your life and if you are too fast and mistakenly tap on the dormant bombs you face the same fate. You’ll see your name inscribed on your tombstone when you are eliminated.

Penguin Invasion is a fast paced game where you need the perfect coordination of your eyes and fingers. You need a fast working mind too. As the clock ticks, the number of bombs on the screen would steadily increase to make your eyes and fingers betray you. Just see how long can you endure.

You earn extra lives by tapping on the heart sign that pops up once in a while. You need to be fast in claiming that too.

Penguin Invasion is a perfect game to play if you have few minutes to spare and want to spent that in fun.
