How to play
- Read the English word at the top — that is the clue.
- Your penguin waits on a ledge at the bottom. Three platforms drift sideways above it, each carrying a Chinese word.
- Tap the platform you want and the penguin hops up onto it. Drag along the bottom ledge, or use the arrow keys, to line the penguin up first; the keys 1, 2 and 3 hop to the platforms from left to right.
- Land on the platform that matches the clue to climb a level and hear the word. A wrong word costs a heart and shows you the right one; the clue stays so you can still clear it.
- Missing every platform just drops the penguin back on the ledge — nothing is lost. Climb six levels before your five hearts run out; the sky changes from day to night to space as you go.

What happens if the penguin misses the platform?
Nothing is lost: the penguin drops back to the ledge and you hop again. Only landing on a wrong word costs a heart.
Is there a timer?
No countdown. The platforms drift slowly, so you have time to read the words and think.
Can I practise one topic?
Yes. Use the theme picker to draw the words from a single category — animals, food, the home and more.
