Introduction

Penguin Burst! : Battle Arena is a short single-player arena brawler from developer kuukiii, made in Godot. The setup is playful: round penguins collide on the ice, and the goal is to shove rivals out of the arena using tackles and other moves. Controls cover WASD or the arrow keys, with left-stick support for gamepads. The boost tackle can be held to charge, a separate charge tackle is available, and jumping turns into a dive attack while airborne. A step command handles dodging, skills sit on Q and E, and Esc pauses. This is an early prototype rather than a finished release. kuukiii states that much will change and that balancing is not final, and asks players to leave comments about what works, what does not, and what should be added next. It is available in English and Japanese. The tag list places it among cute 3D arcade brawlers with physics-driven action, pixel art, roguelite touches, and short sessions.
