Tips and tricks
- Learn one track completely before moving on. Knowing where every bend is worth several seconds a lap and the skill carries over.
- Use the whole width of the road. Cutting across from the outside to the inside of a bend and back out again shortens the distance and keeps your speed up.
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
- Nitro or boost is best used on straights where you are already stable, not to rescue a bad corner.
- Because this is a Girls game, take your time with creative choices; there is rarely a wrong answer in this kind of game.
Who will enjoy it
Who is Penguin Runner for? In a word, anyone who enjoys speed, vehicles and shaving seconds off a personal best.

The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
