Tuli’s Ice Slide is a free penguin game for kids that you play with one button. Tuli, a little penguin chick with a red scarf, belly-slides across a snowy land. Tap to hop over the holes in the ice, catch the fish that float in happy arcs, and tap again in the air for a belly flip. Snow ramps send Tuli flying high, and the sky slowly turns from morning to a starry night with a soft aurora. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers.
How to play
- Tap the screen, click or press Space to hop.
- Hop over the holes in the ice. A splash costs one heart.
- Tap again in the air to do a belly flip for 2 bonus fish.
- Slide up a snow ramp for a big, high jump.
- Use your fish to unlock new penguin pals.
Controls
- Tap the game, click the mouse, or press Space, the Up arrow or W to hop.
- Tap again while Tuli is in the air to do a belly flip. You can do up to two flips in one hop.
- Press P or Escape, or the Pause button, to take a break. The game also pauses by itself when you switch tabs.
Tips and strategy
- Hop a little before the hole. The fish arc above each hole shows the perfect jump.
- Every finished belly flip gives 2 bonus fish. Start the flip early so it ends before Tuli lands.
- Snow ramps launch Tuli by themselves. Just slide up and enjoy the long flight over the big hole.
- A golden fish is worth 5 fish.
- Fell in with a splash? Tuli pops right back out and keeps sliding. Look for a floating heart to get it back.
- Later on, two holes can come close together. Hop, land, and hop again.
Game modes and difficulty
Every slide starts slowly and speeds up very gently, so young children can learn at their own pace. You have three hearts per run, and a splash only costs one. Cheers pop up at 100, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 m, and your best distance is saved on your device. Fish unlock seven penguin pals with hats, scarves and goggles.
History and background
Endless sliding and running games with one button are a simple, classic kind of game. They train timing and hand-eye coordination, and children feel in charge right away because there is only one thing to learn: when to hop.
Tuli and the penguin pals were made just for Gemuzi, with soft colours, no flashing and no pressure. There are no ads inside the game area, nothing to buy, no timers and no account. Fish and pals are stored only in your own browser.
