An environmentally-themed arcade game for Microsoft Windows

Collect penguins on your tugboat rescue mission to the arctic!
So much ice has melted from global warming, the penguins can no longer migrate!
Pull an ice floe full of penguins to get them there!
The more penguins you have, the higher your score!
Keep your ice floe in the shade or it will melt!
Use your cloud seeding rocket to generate new clouds, or upgrade existing ones!
But watch out for obstacles in the dangerous waters of the arctic...
All in an 8 bit retro aesthetic

Note: Compilation requires installation of two font files, included with each build.
