Having entered the game, I went through several stages to become a “penguin flipper”.. at first I calmed down and moved away from all the troubles around me in real life, after that, I began to meditate and caught my inner zen.. and, I’m already halfway to admission to university after which I will go to work in Antarctica. The best and most enjoyable game to relax and be away from the irritation and stress that haunts us every day.. You just walk around and help the penguins - isn’t that everyone’s dream?

Alright. Penguin Helper as it is, should probably be a meme. You play as a nameless woman (although the game's thumbnail presumably shows a dude) who ends up escaping her normal life by accepting a job in the South Pole helping fallen penguins stand back up. Why are penguins falling over such an epidemic that they require the services of a penguin picker upper? Mostly because when planes fly overhead, which they do with alarming and unusual frequency, the penguins watch them and then fall backwards onto the ice apparently, lol. Plus, the aurora borealis is presumably highly distracting to them. :) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3270159732 That is the game in its entirety as of now, fairly early into early access. The developer's stated plans for adding content looks interesting enough, including the part about adding predators. Which, speaking of predators, there is a polar bear in the game, but IRL, there are no polar bears in Antarctica. Oops! Anyway, there is a small amount of dialogue voiced by a French accented AI, which offers some story and some penguin tidbits. It also does go into a loop once all dialogue has been exhausted. That can be annoying. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3270159711 The game itself though is pretty funny with a premise that is high level ridiculous, lol. It probably earns that 99 cent price tag despite the current lack of any gameplay outside of picking up penguins and watching them slide and waddle about while making penguin noises. If you found this review helpful and would be interested in supporting my Curator group, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32549618/]Robilar's Reviews , it would be appreciated. Cheers.

MY RATING: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 10 / 10 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3264190824 If my work colleagues ask me what I experienced on Sunday, I will proudly say: "I helped penguins get back on their feet at the South Pole and also enjoyed the Northern Lights at the same time." I have never invested 99 cents so well.
