The feud between Tencent and 360 has now gone viral across the entire web, gradually expanding to other media and becoming the most popular topic of conversation. Without discussing the rights and wrongs of this mud-slinging match, the "battle" has indeed made a group of internet celebrities more famous, with jokes and comics flooding the internet... The recently emerged original mini-game "Penguin vs Thugs" is even more entertaining, providing much amusement for the "spectators." "Penguin vs Thugs" is very simple to play. At the start of the game, you need to choose your character ("Penguin" or "green-clad thug holding a 360 shield"), then input your name to begin the battle! After the intense fight, scores are automatically submitted, allowing players to participate in the ranking of game winners and losers!

 

 

 

All of this stems from the event itself; the rise in popularity of "news games" like "Penguin vs Thugs" is not an isolated case. Not long ago, the widely discussed and hugely popular online "Little MoonMoon" incident turned the game "Little MoonMoon vs Little W" into a vivid recreation of literary material. From the increasingly popular phenomenon of "news games," it seems that domestic original mini-games have found a new market. This unconventional strategy of "grabbing attention" may truly open up a new world for them.
