TAGAP (The Apocalyptic Game About Penguins) is a side-scrolling freeware Action Game in the style of Abuse made by Penguin DT, an indie game dev studio. TAGAP 2 was recently released as well.

The website is here.

Tropes used in TAGAP: The Apocalyptic Game About Penguins include:

Alliteration: Every named Penguins has a name beginning with P: Pablo, Pedro, and, in the sequel, Primo.
Aliens in Cardiff: The first secret base is in... New Zealand?
Artificial Gravity: The last level of the first game takes place on a space station with this.
BFG: The OMG-20k.
Boss Rush
Cute'Em Up
Crazy Awesome: The whole thing.
Crowning Music of Awesome
Defeat Means Friendship
Dual-Wielding: The Uzis.
Everything's Better with Penguins
Fantastic Drug: TAGAP. Heals you istantly, augments your reflexes, may cause mind control and/or allucinations. You pass an entire level of the sequel completely stoned on the stuff.
Fun with Acronyms: The game's title, somewhat.
Grotesque Cute
Helpful Mook: Some Mecha-Mooks will carry boxes with health pickups that you can shoot out of their hands.
Heroic BSOD: It's perfectly normal for players to roll on the floor sobbing thanks to just how difficult the game is.
High-Pressure Blood: Particularly the Super Zombies, which stand and gush blood for several seconds when you kill them.
Klatchian Coffee: The titular drug.
Mecha-Mooks: Abundant in the Tokyo levels.
Mook Maker: One of the minibosses, and one of the bosses. In the latter case, they spawn fast enough that it's a Timed Mission to kill the boss before you drown in penguins.
More Dakka: the quad damage powerup. In the sequel, iit is possible to combine it with another power up that enhances your ratio of fire and gives you infinite ammo.
Nintendo Hard
One-Winged Angel: every penguin boss in the sequel. Even Primo.
Phlebotinum Overdose: Subverted. You can overdose on TAGAP, and you gain bullet time. And funky green penguins.
- Played straight in the sequel.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Pablo and the rockhopper penguins.
Respawning Enemies: The main reason of the game's difficulty.
- Later levels, such as Megamania, will become knee-deep in penguins unless you use a big gun to keep their numbers down.
- This was toned down in the sequel - however, there are more difficult non-respawning foes, and later levels can still overflow with penguins if you don't keep up the pressure.
Rule of Cool
Secret Dance Club: there is one hidden in each game, but there are no enemies to fight in them. You gain lots of supplies, though.
Shout-Out: Many, especially to Doom
Take Your Time: The escape sequence after you set off the Self-Destruct Mechanism is extremely lengthy, but Always Close.
What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?: To be honest, it probably was.
Zerg Rush: All the time.
Zombie Apocalypse: The TAGAP-addicted enemy penguins.
