Play tag with Chris the penguin, as he will be quick to catch the computer cursor, but do not go out bounds because he can get hit! Press any key or click the background to switch between 14 different backdrops. When the game finishes, Chris can be dragged around.
Original release: December 17 2020 Update: 1 Dec. 2023 1. Added Cristóbal note to the Trivia 2. Removed number key hotkeys to select a desired backdrop, in favor of truly allowing any key 3. Changing backdrop via clicks is now exclusive to draggable Chris mode, for mobile friendliness 4. After 3 backdrop cycles, Chris will be sent to anniversary zone. Happy 3rd anniversary! (midi converted music not by me) (background source: i.ytimg.com/vi/wJNMpXyD_QY/hqdefault.jpg) (I wanted it to be after background cycles of the quantity of Penguin Tag Rodeo's age, but that is much more difficult than I thought) 5. Added anniversary land to the Trivia Update: Nov. 7 2022 1. Moved Best: to the top left corner (it's high because high-score, get it? Was going to put it on the right but big numbers wouldn't be seen fully) 2. Score: variable is now set to "large readout" 3. Changed the name of Score: and Best: variables 4. Edited backdrop SFX 5. Chris' outline is back, this time just for action sprites at their very back layer 6. Deleted duplicate of "when backdrop switches to Winter start sound pop" 7. Best score is now updated per point instead of per green flag 8. The increase of pitch, color, and tempo per point has been raised from 0.5 to 0.1 9. Improved "Instructions" and "Notes and Credits" X. Added the " Le Zoomin' " sprite 18:22 Attempted my best to restore Chris' pre-green flag position Update: Mar. 17 2021 1. Added a High Score tracker, sign in to save your scores! Update: Jan. 19 2021 1. Now with cloud variables Update: Dec. 27 2020 1. Chris now turns around 2. New Chris sprites 3. Moved score bar from top left to bottom left 4. Unique SFX for every background (except for the default one) Update: Dec. 19 2020 1. Updated name =Trivia= 1. Chris' "Chirp" SFX is actually for him skidding (and the piano pretends to be a coil spring-like sound effect, like a jaw harp). 2. Chris' full name so far is Christopher "Chris" Sun (named after notable members of the official Club Penguin staff, as well as YouTube commenter "Christopher Moon"). NOTE: Since 2023, his name is now Cristóbal instead of Christopher 3. Chris was created prior to Penguin Tag Rodeo, as a penguin design for the spectator crowd at an ice arena for a different videogame, I haven't used the design for Penguin Tag Rodeo 'cuz these default penguin sprites work perfectly, but I might use it for his appearance in other projects (yeah, crossover!). 4. I couldn't recall the name of a bullfight ('corrida de toro', in my 1st language), so I put 'Rodeo' on the title and it just stuck, plus it looks like one of those titles for NES videogames. 5. The original main conflict was that the penguin would be obsessed with hugging the cursor, inspired by the Huggables from Battle Bears, which Box Critters had introduced me to. 6. In 2022, I thought of having a bonus segment after Chris catches the cursor, where the cursor would tag Chris back for extra points. Also the boundary would be circle-shaped and Chris would follow a tiny circle that would follow the cursor in bounds in order to solve the "cursor escapes the boundary" situation (not gonna remove Chris being hit by the boundary, 'cuz I guess it teaches about respect). 7. Anniversary zone was originally named anniversary land. My sister Sofía teached some things about Scratch, so I gave it another chance after many years, and it's fun for me now!
