Penguin Plunge

Dive off an iceberg, tuck-spin, and land a perfect aerial trick for the crowd.

Core mechanic

Swipe down to launch the penguin into a dive, hold to tuck into a spin, release at the surface to pop out and perform an aerial twist judged by an iceberg crowd meter.

Controls

One-thumb: swipe to dive, hold to tuck spin, release to exit water.

Theme

Antarctic slapstick with a panel of penguin judges holding score cards.

Why now

Animal-trick scoring loops (think recently viral pet-judge format) and dive animations have momentum on short-form.
