What it does
One swipe, one hop
Swipe any direction, anywhere on the screen. Nothing is drawn over the board, so the play area is never covered by controls.
A colony, not a life bar
You’re not flying one bird. Each run spends a colony, and it ends when there aren’t enough left to fill the nests.
The ice is not on your side
Thin floes crack underfoot, seals haul out, skuas work the lanes, orcas breach — and the shipping lane never slows down.
Somewhere to hide
Every shelf has snow huts you can duck inside where nothing can reach you. Catching your breath costs time, and time is score.
A gate you beat with timing
From floe twelve a submarine surfaces in the nests themselves, sealing one at a time on a count you can learn. Go in on the gap.
Drawn as it plays
Not one image or sound file ships in the app. Every penguin, floe, orca and note is drawn or synthesised while you play.

Restoring Gus’s Backpack
Bought it already, on this device or another one? Open Penguin Fashion from the main menu and tap Restore Purchases. It is tied to your Apple Account, so it follows you to a new phone.
Your scores
Everything is stored on the device and nowhere else, so deleting the app deletes your top ten with it. There is no account to sign into and nothing to lose a password for.
Privacy & Terms
No accounts, no ads and no analytics. Your progress and best scores stay on your device only.
Permissions
01Who we are
Tuxedo Panic is made by NovakPlay, an independent developer based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (the developer named on the App Store listing). This statement explains what the app does with your information.
02What we collect
Nothing. Tuxedo Panic runs entirely on your device. There are no accounts, no analytics and no ads. Your progress and best scores are saved on your device only.
03Permissions the app asks for
This app doesn’t ask for any special permissions.
04Purchases
Tuxedo Panic is free to download. From version 2.0 it offers one optional in-app purchase, Gus’s Backpack, which is handled by Apple through your App Store account — so NovakPlay never sees your payment details, only whether the backpack is unlocked.
05Children
Tuxedo Panic is rated 4+ and children play it. Because the app collects no data from anyone, it collects none from children. There are no ads and no accounts. Tuxedo Panic is not part of the App Store’s Kids category.
06Your rights
Because your data stays on your device, deleting the app deletes it. For any privacy question or request under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), contact hello@novakplay.com.
07Changes
If this statement changes we’ll update it here and change the effective date above.

02Your licence
NovakPlay grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use Tuxedo Panic on the devices you own or control, for your own use.
03Purchases

Please don’t reverse engineer, resell or redistribute the app except where the law expressly allows, and don’t use it to break the law or infringe anyone’s rights.
05The app is provided “as is”
Tuxedo Panic is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. We work hard to make it reliable, but we can’t promise it will be uninterrupted, error-free or fit every purpose.
06Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, NovakPlay is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the app.
