Smart TV Game App - Air Penguin

I remember I was so addicted to this game on my smart phone when it was first released. I strongly believe that many people who ever played Air Penguin would agree that it is the most fun tilting game. Now it is brought to LG Smart TV. Not only we can play it on a massive screen, we can also play it in 3D. Instead of tilting the device, it is controlled by the motion sensor in the remote. It is available at $4.30 for unlimited play.

Description

Journey through the icy South Pole to help Air Penguin save his family from melting ice caps. Who said penguins can't fly?! Make them flap their tiny wings! Tilt your way out of danger as you bounce, glide and slide through this Antarctic adventure today
