Pocket Penguin waddles onto Kickstarter again this month

Independent developer Dog Biscuit recently announced that a new Kickstarter campaign for its upcoming Game Boy-inspired platformer Pocket Penguin is available now, with a goal for $275 almost reached for the PC version. The game will follow the cute penguin Pichi who needs to return home in a platforming adventure inspired by the great pocket classics from the 90s.

Travel back in time, with this game that will remind you how important it is to have courage to face the adversities that come your way. Throughout action-color scenarios, meet Pichi , a blue penguin who thanks to his small size and incredible swimming ability has been sent on an adventure to return home. Explore impossible worlds for a penguin, from a hot desert to a coral reef, fight enemies, solve puzzles and take on Nanuk, the pirate polar bear that attacked your ship. Pocket Penguin without a doubt, a platformer adventure that will remind you of the Game Boy era.

The intention of generating a video game like Pocket Penguin is to raise awareness of people through the two main characters, Pichi and Nanuk.

The word Pichi (pronounced Peechee) comes from the Mapuches a town that inhabits Chile and Argentina, which means small. For another hand, the word Nanuk (or Nanook) originates in the indigenous languages of North America and means “polar bear”. In Inuit mythology he was the master of bears.

Pichi is a small penguin who seeks to survive together with his family, in the face of climate change that is leaving him without food due to the increase in temperature on our planet and in the face of adversity decides to act to avoid devastating consequences. Similarly, Nanuk, who is the villain, has to leave his habitat to search for food.

As such, we can find, such as what happened at the south pole, in which due to the unusual levels in the ice banks, the Adelaide penguins were forced to go further in search of food, leaving about 40 thousand young penguins who died at the mercy of climate and hunger. At the north pole, polar bears began to change their seal diet to eggs, causing an imbalance in the biological rhythm of ecosystems.
