Flock Rush

My crew

Everything here is earned by playing — there is no real money in this game and nothing to wait for.

How to play

• Drag anywhere left or right to steer your flock. It runs forward on its own. Arrow keys work too.
• Every gate does something to your flock: +7 adds seven, ×2 doubles it, −4 loses four, ÷2 halves it.
• Only one gate can be taken — pick the one that leaves you more penguins. Watch out: ×2 beats +9 only once you have more than nine!
• 🐟 Fish stream down the lanes between gates. Every one you swim through joins the flock — but the best shoal is often on the wrong side.
• 🧊 Ice blocks have a number: that is how many snowballs it takes to smash them. A bigger flock throws faster, and a smashed block bursts into fish. There is always a clear lane, so going round one is free — smashing it is greed.
• 🔥 Pick the better gate several times in a row to build a streak, which multiplies your score.
• At the end of the run a rival flock is waiting. Match them or beat them and you win the level.
• Your flock never drops below 1, so a bad gate is never the end of the run.
• Levels come in different shapes — 🧊 Ice Run, 🧱 Gauntlet, 🐟 Fish Rush and 🌨️ Blizzard. The name is on screen before each one starts.
• 🧱 Siege is the other way to play, on the front screen, and it is a different question. A rival flock is coming down the run at you and never stops. Your flock throws snowballs at them, and the bigger it is the harder they are pushed back. 🛡️ at the top right is how much ground you have left. When it runs out they reach you and the run is over.
• Your snowballs hit whatever is in front of you. That is the whole game: while you are busy with something in your lane, nobody is holding them back, and they come closer. An empty lane is where you win ground back.
• ➕ Blue panels add penguins, one panel at a time. A whole row of them is a lot of penguins — and a lot of seconds you were not throwing at the rival.
• 🟨 Crates have a number: that is how many snowballs it takes. Break one and you get a ❄️ snow cannon, which makes your whole flock throw harder for the rest of the run. Some crates are too tough to break before the lane runs out, and then you have spent the snowballs for nothing.
• So every split is the same question: more penguins, or a better cannon? And the answer changes as your flock grows — a cannon is worth more when there are lots of you to use it.
• A wall of ice runs down the middle once you have chosen, so you ride the lane you picked. It opens again just before the next split.
• ⏸️ Pause is at the top whenever you are flying. Nothing moves while you are stopped — and opening this page pauses the run too, so reading the rules never costs you anything.
• 🐧 Big crowd on the front screen draws the whole flock instead of the first hundred and twenty of it. It needs WebGL, so if your device cannot, the button stays off and the game is exactly as it was.
