Play OverviewPlay Overview

Faaast Penguin (2024) is a chaotic race where penguins slide down an obstacle course to win the crown. Timing is crucial to crash into other racers for a speed boost and gather tins of sardines to summon a huge whale to ride and cause maximum chaos. It's a lighthearted yet highly competitive challenge that combines racing and brawling to create Wacky Races chaos and mayhem.

Each race lasts only a minute or so, where you slide down intricate slopes filled with obstacles, speed boosts, and shortcuts. You can jump over small gaps, and by attacking at the perfect moment, you can cause other racers to spin out for a moment while you launch into the air, enabling you to get far ahead and potentially reach hidden shortcuts.

On the track are cans of sardines; collect ten and you can summon an invincible orca you ride for a few seconds, which can turn your fortunes around when tactically deployed. The game is updated regularly with new themed courses coinciding with events where you can earn new outfits and special mounts.

While at first, it can seem like a chaotic brawl, it soon becomes clear that skill and tactics play a big role; learning when to attack other players and summon your ride, as well as mastering the controls and courses, are all essential to success. Yet the ever-present possibility of unexpected failure (or success) keeps things tense yet simple silly fun.
