Through this app, the user adopts a pet polar bear, which they must keep safe from icebergs melting due to their carbon footprint. The app tracks the user's location to find their travel velocity, which is used to determine whether they are driving in a car. If they are driving, a certain amount of ice melts depending on the miles traveled.

The backend runs on Express.js, while all of the artwork was hand-drawn in Procreate.
Originally, we had planned on the pet being a penguin (hence the repo name), but later switched to polar bears.
