Flappy: Pushy Penguin

In this puzzle game, Pushy Penguin must push a blue stone onto the blue platform. Sound easy? Pushy must pay attention to gravity, gaps in the floors, and wandering enemies - Seals and Bears - who would like to eat Pushy. Pushy can pick up and throw mushroom dust at the enemies to knock them out for a while, or drop stones on them to crush them permanently. Pushy can push stones in full steps or half steps, or destroy them to make way. Passwords are given out after a special stage, every five stages. With 200 stages, you're in for a real challenge!

This graphics hack replaces the Flappy character with a penguin.

Flappy is a puzzle game by dB-Soft, in the vein of Eggerland and Sokoban. It features a yellow creature who must push a blue stone to the blue platform destination. With 200 stages, this was the largest early Famicom game of its kind.

Flappy first appeared on the Sharp X1 in 1983. dB-Soft produced a sequel with more difficult puzzles called King Flappy for the benefit of anyone who managed to clear the original 200 levels. There were further remakes later.

Story:
The beautiful planet of Blue Star, home-planet to a young boy named FLAPPY, is invaded by Dark Emperor Ngalo-Ngolo. The proud inhabitants of Blue Star, wanting neither war nor the invasion, self-destruct along with the planet on a path of self-determination. FLAPPY, however, is boarded onto an escape capsule headed for neighboring Planet Seviras by his father and so survives. From his capsule he sees fragments of the exploded Blue Star rain down incessantly on Planet Seviras.

Wandering aimlessly about Planet Seviras, FLAPPY reaches an oasis where he suddenly hears a voice from the sky saying, 'Gather up the fragments of Blue Star, the Blue Stones, to this Blue Area. When all of them have been gathered...' FLAPPY, believing a miracle has just occurred, begins on a journey to gather all the Blue Stones.

Gravity, gaps in the floors, and wandering enemies stand in the way of Flappy reaching his goal. Flappy can pick up and throw sleeping mushrooms at the enemies to knock them out for a while, or drop stones on them to crush them permanently. There are brick walls you must work your way around, brown stones which you can crush but which can also crush you if they fall on you, holes or dead angles in which the blue stone becomes irretrievable if it falls into them, and moving enemies. The game features two enemies: Unicorns and Ebira. Unicorns are green creatures that move in mostly-repetitive horizontal patterns. Ebira are red crab-like enemies ("ebi" means shellfish) that will chase Flappy both horizontally and vertically. Ebira tend to mimic Flappy's movements, so Flappy must be careful to avoid being charged by a persistent Ebira.
