TAGAP: The Apocalyptic Game About Penguins - Gameplay

Gameplay

TAGAP series games are 2-D platformer and run and gun shoot 'em ups. The keyboard is used for movement, interaction and weapon swapping while the aiming are handled with the mouse, giving player 360° firing freedom. While the same control scheme has been used in games like Walker and Abuse, TAGAP has a bigger emphasis on shooting than "platforming". TAGAP 2 and the first game from version 1.5 and onwards also support PC-compatible Xbox 360 controllers.

TAGAP games feature a wide range of weapons. Some, like the shotgun, flamethrower and minigun are standard weapons in most video game arsenals. Others like the OMG-20k, the Disintegrator and EMP rifle are unique to the games. First game has eight and the second ten different hand-held weapons, all featuring two firing modes. For example, the Plasmagun's secondary function deploys a temporary shield, while flamethrower can set floors on fire. In addition to these mobile weapons, throughout the game the player can also control a few heavily armed combat vehicles. These include a miniature helicopter, a small submersible, a laser turret and a small space fighter. These vehicles also have secondary fire ability, such as rockets (helicopter) or charged plasma bursts (space fighter).
