Community Insight:
When will the activity treasure chest be released? Why hasnt the activity with music come out? We missed the activity with music before we played it.
The game is fun and all, but sometimes you dont have enough money for anything, so you get bored because you hit rock bottom. Other than that, totally legit would recommend.
With so many of these games being mass produced, the flavor of an individual game can make or break it for us. This game really missed an easy mark in making the currency gold instead of fish. If this penguin society ran on fish as a currency, the immersive quality would be so much greater for us.
We love this game a lot but we only gave it four stars because of a few things. One: ad coupons These are nearly impossible to get, and the only way is to buy them from the shop. Im one of those people who would never spend money on games. It would be great if you could implement another method to get ad coupons that doesnt require money. Or, you could give players an option to just watch the ad even if they have ad coupons. Two: PENGUINS The whole point of the game is to expand your island and get more penguins. However, special event penguins are nearly impossible to get once the event is over. There is a way to get them, but you have to wait a year to buy them with gems in the shop. Even then, the penguins you can only get from buying the event pass are still not available unless you spend money. Like we mentioned before, we dont spend money on games. Please make a way where you can get penguins even after the event is over and after it comes again the next year. For example, special event penguins from 2022 are now impossible to get. Please make a way THAT DOESNT REQUIRE MONEY to get them again. And for the penguins that are exclusive to the event pass, please make a way to get them without spending money. To sum our review up, there are two main complaints we have. First, make another way to get ad coupons that doesnt require money. Or, give players an option to watch the add even if they have ad coupons. Second, we want to be able to get old special event penguins that are no longer available (without having to pay). Also, we want a way (that doesnt require money) to get special event penguins that can only be obtained by buying the event pass. We dont want to pay money for everything. This game shouldnt be a pay to win game. Overall, we love this game a lot. The penguins are cute and its really fun. Please just consider our suggestions. Thank you a lot for your time.
First off, game is super but it does get very hard to progress and takes a lot of time. Second, there should be more customization like island skins, easier to get penguin skins, and being able to unlock habitat skins without having to pay 8$.
We get its a simple straightforward game and it shouldnt be done in 2 weeks, but ive been stuck on trying to get whales nest for over a week, after spending no longer than 2 days for all tbe others before. Its a bit aggravating.
Very calming to play and listen to, not very many ads either which is fabulous.
We always love coming back to our isle and spending between 10 to 80 minutes everyday. Our favorite small detail is the sound of the ocean. Never fails to relax us.
We love this game. Its so great. Theres a lot of things to do and we like the style but the reason its not five stars is if you get a new phone its hard to get your progress back we think you should add an account and password so that when you re-download it you just put in the password and it loads your safe file great game still.
At first, this seems like a great game where you build an island of penguins. BUT THEN, as new habitats get more and more expensive, your penguins cant produce enough gold. The way to get around this are research quests which give you upgrades for completing tasks, including treasure ship summoning, where you watch an ad to get gold. So in order to play the game, you must watch ads. We reached a point where we were watching more ads than playing the game. And then we realized, the gameplay IS watching ads. The penguins have deceived you.
We really enjoy the game but the recent hunting addition makes the game not fun. We do not like guns and dont understand why cute harmless penguin would kill the, Please never do this again.
We absolutely love penguins and its hard to find any penguin games. We have been playing this game for years and its so much fun, we have so many penguins and they all look so cute!!! We love watching them interact with eachother and with the decorations you build. Id give 100 stars if we could.
We play this game nearly everyday, we love love love collecting all the little penguins from the events. They are so cute, boyscout penguin is our favorite.
We just started playing and Im enjoying our time playing this game, we love how they included different kinds of penguins and its so unique how you make your own penguin town! Sadly it takes time and you need some money if you want to finish fast.
This is a really good game we hope this doesnt die like some other games. This is a really short review but thats our opinion on the game.
Can someone reach out to us about this please.
This game has really soothing music and is perfect for our insomnia.
This game was made from the heart, the devs clearly care about response to the game. This is truly one of our favorite away games, we love visiting our penguins, we gave our special penguin a name Glebor (Glee-bore).
Please make an update that when we flip our phone to the side we can see our isle in horizontal mode and maybe lower the prices for the island.
Love the game. We cant visit other islands though. The phone icon is not there like it is in our friends app. Help.
. ! , , :( , ' – . ! :) , , ! ( '' ).
We love the penguins in the game because penguins are our favorite animal and also the musics make us fall asleep, its just so relaxing when you have stress like when we play strongest battleground we go insane so we need a break from that and we choose this game highly recommend choose this game to play, but we must agree. Its a long game play, but its still five stars and please remove the ad.
After the update of this fifth anniversary activity, when we open the game, we will be forced to quit in a few minutes. There was no such situation before. Please fix this problem quickly, OK.
Been playing this game for a few years now we really love it! Its so calm & relaxing seeing the penguin waddle around all happy, we definitely recommend playing this game! We just wish you could change the music on the game though because hearing repeated music gets very old & decently annoying in our opinion.
Amazing game and its not too hard to get money (which is good). Very calm music too.
Our sound keeps going off every time we watch an ad. Its done this before. We have to reload the app every time to fix it.
We found this game so much calming. Smooth Animations, music, colors and everything you see here is perfect !In the game you see a calming blue (snow and water) that is much better than the pictures! Hahah. They update the game monthly so you get new content every month! It deserves a review, surely a good one.
( updated 2024). This is good game, like most idle games it is great in the beginning, but the more you play, the spendier things are, after a while there is nothing to do except sign in every day to get your idle bonus . Essentially we sign in to watch ads in order to move forward The developers have added in monthly challenges ( free and paid) to get bonus penguins, that is a nice idea. The penguins are cute, but there is no interaction with them. We really dislike that you are required to watch ads we order to get bonuses. Most of the ads are gross ( why would we be interested in a sniper game if we have this zen penguin game) and it is the same ads ALL the time.
Us. Nora penguin Lund (we love penguins) who hates a lot of games and stuff (not Penguins ) but this game is well SO FUN! You do not need Wi-Fi to play and you can choose if you want ads or not (bro who who would want ads) and the music is so calm and peaceful that you could fall asleep and its never-ending! We have had is game for years and we still have never gotten bored of it! All of the penguins included in the game going to make you cry and laugh and make your mind blow.
We have been playing this game for years and honestly its one of our favorites! We dont really have anything we hate about this game! Good job on you guys for making such a cool game.
We love this game! Our only feedback is to add more to the arcade games instead of just the jump jump game.
The game is a fun, nice, and calming little game to play to reduce stress or whatever may be troubling you. The penguins are adorable, but we have two issues with the game. The first being that per event pass you get one free penguin to that theme which we understand, but then if you pay 4 dollars you get the premium pass which only includes one other penguin. We feel that if we pay 4 dollars we should get more than the one penguin. We would like to maybe get a few more on the paid pass, or maybe some structures that have to do with that theme. Our second grime is the event resells, those include one penguin fit 2k gems and if you once again pay 4 dollars you get literally only one penguin. Maybe make it to where if you pay the 4 dollars you get both the gem one and the paid one rather than having to waste gems as well as 4 dollars. Again just a few suggestions but we feel like theres so much potential of more unique penguins. GREAT GAME.
We had an account from this game a few years ago but we recently started to play again, we are signed in the same Apple ID that we used to play in a few years ago but it looks like we have to restart. Is there a way to regain the progress.
We've been having trouble trying to delete our save data on this game. The last time we played this game was around 4 years ago. We made some progress that saved in our iCloud data and redownloaded the app a few days ago. We've been having trouble trying to figure out how we can reset the app because we don't entirely know how to play the game. The only option we've found to reset the game is to switch phones or reset our current phone, neither of which we are planning on doing. It seems like a great game though.
We love penguin isle its so fun it takes time and its really fun so basically its the best game ever if you actually read this the your probably a really nice person.One more thing before we go we love penguins they are really fluffy.
We are a lifelong lover of penguins, and this game has it all: solid depictions of multiple penguin species, accurate penguin facts, landscaping, carnival rides, and penguins that use power tools. The balance of information and whimsey is perfect. The structure of the game keeps the game interesting as the optimum strategies shift as you progress through the levels, whether you focus on coins or hearts or items. It starts off quick, but by the time the new habitat/penguin acquisition starts taking longer, there's a lot to see and do, so it never seems like a grind. The penguins have so many cute behaviors! Our favorites are the ATM, slides, and the Octopus Ride. The ads can get a little repetitive, but the fact that you earn gems for watching ads on top of getting whatever thing you were watching the ad for makes them a bit less irritating. We also appreciate that the in-app purchases are truly not required; they'll make things faster, but with patience you can enjoy a legitimately free to play game.
We love this game. We played it a while back. Today, we wanted to redownload it so we could replay the game from scratch only to find out there is ZERO WAYS TO RESTART THE GAME. So frustrating and now we dont want to play it.
We are addicted to this game we can not stop playing and the baby penguin is sooo adorable.
We recently got this game and we immediately fell in love. The gameplay is fun, and the graphics are really great. Would certainly recommend.
We gave it four stars because even though its a really fun game with lots to do, we have been stuck on trying to get the whales nest for MONTHS. Like since august last year. Like the highest we can get know on money is about 196.34 aq. Its not even close to what you need. It was our brothers favorite game because he loves penguins, but now he never plays it because he cant get close to finishing.
The ad for the treasure ship is broken. It will not let you exit out after youve awaited the allotted time.
Im quite a fan of this game. The penguins are super cute. Love the concept. Just an all around fun game! If we had any recommendation for the developers, it would be to modify the distribution of the penguins around the isle. They tend to group up around the center area instead of exploring the different habitats more. Makes the rest of the isle look kind of empty. Other than that, great game.
This game is perfect for us because we love penguins. It is also great because its peaceful and relaxing.
Amazing we remember playing this 4 years ago.
We love this game and have been playing it for a while, but over the last couple of months some ads will not allow you to exit when theyre done. The app has to be force quit and re-opened and the reward is lost.
Ive been really enjoying this game, Ive found it to be very calming and appreciate that it rewards you for putting the game down. Somethings happened and every ad gets stuck and the exit button doesn't work when the ad is over. Ive noticed it on pretty much every wordscape ad and a few others.
We've been obsessed with this game for a week but now you play an ad to get a reward, then you can't exit it and have to restart and watch MORE ADS. There's already too many ads and to not even be able to get your reward more than half the time makes us not want to play.
