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.
