Following the Angry Birds revolution, Hungry Penguins is the latest addition to physics-based gameplay.

Like Angry Birds, you can only unlock new levels one at a time, after conquering the previous level and earning your penguin partners a nice helping of fish, and also like Angry Birds, Hungry Penguins offers up a nice helping of addicting challenges. Aside from the precious storyline, the retina display compatibility and impeccable graphics ensure that Hungry Penguins is bound to be the next big thing in the help-the-cute-animal-physics-game saga. With Hungry Penguins, you’re not only helping feed your newest, cutest virtual friends, but you’re also guaranteed to feed your appetite for a great new game.
