Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 4 out of 10
  2. Negative: 0 out of 10
  1. The puzzles were challenging, the story mode was comical and reminded me a bit of Sonic, and I had a blast playing with friends in the Survival mode.
  2. Reminiscent of Pengo games from the early eighties, Polar Panic does a good job at bringing back an arcade feel of gameplay that can be picked up and played for short bursts, provides shallow short based enjoyment and has an emphasis on hitting high scores be it alone or with friends.
  3. A great game at heart, but not without its flaws.
  4. Its presentation is rather basic and the controls can be a little imprecise on occasion, but overall it does what it's advertised to do well enough.
