Here's our game!
Download it at [mediafire] or from the [DigiPen] Game Gallery.

Overview
Plight of the Penguins is an action-platformer featuring penguin warfare, destructible terrain, and plentiful explosions. In this game, you play as Garrett, a battle-scarred penguin out to save his homeland from the evil Penguin Empire. Garrett is no ordinary penguin though, and carries an unlimited arsenal of grenades. Completely invulnerable to taking damage, Garrett uses his plentiful bombs to blast and boost his way through a variety of zany destructible environments. From cityscapes to underground jungles to giant  watermelons, there are a plethora of unique settings to conquer. But Garrett's victory will not come easily. The environments in the game are riddled with perilous obstacles, bottomless chasms, and a colorful but diabolical cast of penguin enemies. Are you up to the challenge?

Plight of the Penguins was completely built from scratch using Directx 9 in our own custom engine.
