Pingus

Pingus is a free and open source Lemmings clone which also incorporates other elements (such as the worldmap) from Super Mario games and introduces some new elements (such as the Jumper.) Instead of lemmings, you control penguins, known in-game as "Pingus", as they embark on a journey to find out why the South Pole's ice is melting. The main story mode only contains one worldmap: the Island of Mogorok, also known as the Tutorial Island. However, there are additional levelsets included in the game meant to continue the story, and the user can make their own levels with the level editor.

This game is not to be confused with a show about a certain claymation penguin or a meme based on Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.

The game's official website can be found here, where it is available to download for Linux distributions, Mac OS X, and Windows.


 * Everything's Better with Penguins: Kind of goes without saying, doesn't it?
