One of the penguins, codenamed Pablo the penguin, wasn’t pleased of being used in “mad scientist” act and revolted against Glowenko, who soon decided to put a TAGAP-price on Pablo’s head and sent his penguin army – led by fearsome Pedro the penguin – after him.
Welcome to TAGAP – You are Pablo!
Kill everything and locate the exit. Keep doing this until you face the big boss and nail it to win the game. Simple, huh? Now try it while being chased by dozens of murderous penguins, dodging the attacks of electric security gone berserk and from time to time ending up fighting with Pedro the penguin. (description taken from the manual)
This game is great fun, has very nice graphics, animations and sound effects. The penguins seem to move a bit slowly, but when there are dozens of them chasing at you, it will be surely appreciated.
There are several different weapons to collect during the game and all of them have different positive and negative effects when you use them and some of them can also be used for different purposes (like the plasma gun that can create a shield).
But best part of the game is the idea and the story. It’s full of sick and funny stuff like drug abusing penguins (just look at special effects when Pablo consumes to much drugs and suffers from an overdose – it’s a great homage to “Matrix”), zombie penguins and Penguinators.
“TAGAP” comes along with an editor and two detailed manuals (one for playing and one for editing/scripting).
Another thing that really makes TAGAP – The Apocalyptic Game About Penguins enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to TAGAP – The Apocalyptic Game About Penguins. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
