The Cold War just got colder

Hold the ice.

Raise a colony on the ice: build it, feed it, defend it in real time. Take the Emperor Dominion's railguns or the Rockhopper Clans' hexes and hold your stretch of coast. Coming soon to iPhone and iPad.

THE COAST IS QUIET

Four ways to hold the ice

Pick your war

Skirmish

Raise the flag. Begin the match.

One map, one rival, one flag left standing. Chill teaches, Brisk fights fair, Blizzard cheats.

Survival: Polar Night

The morning never came. But they remember.

Hold one colony through the long dark as the Hunger climbs. Every day you last is the record.

Campaign: The Fish War

It started over fish. It always does.

The whole war in twelve missions, one stretch of coast at a time.

Two Flags

Sled House: open. Bring a rival.

Head-to-head against a friend on the same wifi. No servers, no internet, no mercy.

Field reports

The coast, live

The Penguin Alert main menu under an aurora sky: mode chips for Skirmish, Survival, Campaign and Two Flags, faction cards for the Emperor Dominion and the Rockhopper Clans, map and difficulty pickers, and a wide DEPLOY button.
THE FRONT DOOR. Pick a flag, pick a coast.
An Emperor Dominion colony on the ice: the command iglu ringed by thermo cores, fuel drums, a cold store and railgun turrets, with work crews hauling fish and Ice Troopers moving out toward the perimeter.
THE COLONY RISES. Cores humming, turrets up, troopers out.
A POLAR NIGHT survival run on day 2 at the HUNTERS tier: the coast dimmed to dusk blue, penguin squads massed around the command iglu, thermo cores and fuel drums lit against the black water.
DAY 2. HUNTERS. The colony holds the dark.
What you are getting into

The dossier

The Two Flocks

The Emperor Dominion brings railguns, thermal cores, and discipline. The Rockhopper Clans answer with hexes, totems, and aurora charms. Both sides recruit the locals: leopard seals, skua bombers, orcas, and one colossal squid.

The Hunger

Survival's threat ladder has six rungs: PESTS, HUNTERS, PACKS, SIEGE, LEVIATHANS, THE VISITORS. Above them all: the Star Trawler.

The Colony Economy

Fish is the everyday currency: everything eats. Driftwood and stone raise the buildings, crude gets pumped and refined, and fuel, steel, and guns win the war. 15 maps of coast to fight over.

The Sled House

Two Flags PvP and survival co-op run device to device over your own wifi. A friend's phone can drop into your live POLAR NIGHT run. No servers, no accounts, no internet required.

Made for Touch

Landscape only, built for touch from the first tap. The command deck keeps orders one thumb away on iPhone and iPad, iOS 17 or later.

Honest by Design

No ads, no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no third-party anything. Saves live on your device and the whole game plays offline. Every sprite and every sound is generated by the game's own code.

The briefing

When does the beta start?

Soon. The beta runs through TestFlight, and the waitlist gets the first invites. Sign the roster, then watch your inbox.

What devices does it run on?

iPhone and iPad on iOS 17 or later. Landscape only: the coast is wide, and so is the game.

How does multiplayer work?

Device to device over your own wifi, hosted through THE SLED HOUSE. Two Flags is head-to-head PvP, and survival co-op lets a friend drop into your live run. No internet needed, no servers anywhere.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. The Android list is the vote: enough names moves the sled.

Does the game collect my data?

No. No ads, no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Saves stay on your device. The privacy page has the full story, and it is short.

Is it OK for kids?

Yes. The fighting is cartoon slapstick: units get knocked out with stars, never killed.
