You were definitely inspired by the original Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy. Other than that I would like to see what this game turns into.

HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!

Gamepad supported!!
Movement: Arrow keys / D-Pad / Left analogue stick

(if you get stuck, you can press p to start nocliping, or if you just want to explore for fun)
Performance:
If you experience lag, you can try going into the settings menu, and turn off Shader FX, and Shiny Tiles
toggling fullscreen can add weird. you can toggle it with the keyboard if it messes up with controller
Why so short????
This is to share what i've been working on finally, with more time and wiggle room i might have added leaderboards, achivements and more levels, but since i really wanted to share before new years. I've opted to keep it simple. I hope you enjoy playing it regardless. It is not a full game yet, so i hope you understand!
Happy New Years, and merry Christmas. This is a Demo/Playtest of a potential full release of
Pengu Saves Christmas. The past 2 years i have on and off fine-tuned the movement mechanics, and style, and after all that time i really wanted to finally share something with the world. So through December i with a big help from @bobbyburt have crunched to make a handful of levels to showcase the game.
Everything in the game is subject to change, and we are open to feedback and criticism. A real full game is probably still a few years away!
see you in the future!!!

Fun, easy controls, adorable artstyle, good music!
Welcome back classic Sonic
Wasn't there another version of this game like...two years back?
yes, the original, you can find on my account. was an advent calendar. though this is a demo for a potential full game, with better mechanics and movement
Very fun! Sliding and diving is extremely fun, though the physcis could use a few adjustments. Goodluck with the full version!
