A little chaos. A lot of heart.

Every penguin
is worth saving.

Welcome to the Antarctic Research Division.
We could really use an extra pair of hands.

The story

Something’s wrong
at the bottom
of the world.

An infection is spreading across Antarctica. The penguins are getting mean, the ice is getting unpredictable, and the Research Division needs you in the field.

Your job: cure the infected, protect the healthy, and get everyone home. With a serum injector in hand and a whole continent ahead, every successful rescue moves the expedition forward.

Built for one more rescue

A frozen world.
A fresh challenge.

Bad Penguins brings quick reactions, careful aim, and a soft spot for very small birds together in one rescue adventure.

01

A mission with heart

The goal is to cure and rescue. Good penguins need protection, infected penguins need help, and your accuracy and survival shape your Rescue Rating.

02

An expedition that grows

Work through 100 missions in 10 locations. Confront 20 boss encounters, unpredictable weather, and ice that won’t always stay in one piece. Then see how long you last in Penguin Panic, the endless mode.

03

Science on your side

Unlock injectors, shields, and expedition gear. Spend Research Credits in the Lab and build a loadout for tougher threats ahead.
