Indeed quite addictive. I would have loved it if you could see it in the classic Pengoview (from atop) for a second, just so you could get a better idea of how the level looked. But that is all developers choice.
Good game, with a good timewasting quality.
Currently testing Life version 2.9 (With added second child)

A good game, but doesn't feel like much. sometimes you die right from the start because there is an enemy next to you that runs into you the instant you start

Sorry, but I can't see why I should play Pengo in 3D when it works much better with the traditional top view perspective. The problem with the 3D perspective is that you can't see your opponents and so they suddenly kill you and you don't even saw them coming. It's also a little hard to get an overview over the whole level.

The game is still playable though and it has some charm (because of the music and because the basic concept is still nice), but if I can choose, I would always prefer the traditional 2D version.
