The Tuxedo Telegraph

Image
We've decided to start a small distribution of fliers to help promote our game. (Well, partially to promote the game, and partially because I like puzzles) Click to enlarge! We're going to travel around to ice cream shops, diners, and cafes and see if we can leave a few of these behind. They'll be free to take, and they'll be available online here too! The Tuxedo Telegraph will contain articles that will give a little more backstory and character to the penguins, while also challenging you with little puzzles. I'll post the answers to the puzzles here before the next issue posts. There currently is no schedule for these (I don't know if it'll be a weekly/monthly/quarterly thing) but I'll keep making them as long as I have time to.

So in the above example, P1 can only draw from the two draw piles closest to them. The draw piles on the other side of the table are permanently out of reach. But P1 really, really , wants the green fish on the other side of the table. What's a penguin to do? ohh, looks like somebody knows! That's right! You...

Penguin SLAP! @ Boston FIG Fest 2018 We're happy to announce we'll be showing our game at Boston FIG Fest 2018!

They're a non-profit organization that seeks to support and showcase the efforts of independent game developers, as well as youth programs focused on game development and related fields. This year we submitted our game for curation and review, and we were selected to showcase (and potentially sell...) our game to the public!
