''[[https://www.breadandfred.com/ Bread & Fred]]'' is a CoOpMultiplayer platforming puzzle game developed by Sandcastle Games and published by Creator/ApogeeEntertainment that places the players in the flippers of two adorable little penguins, the eponymous Bread and Fred, as they set out to scale the mountains overlooking their village. The pair are tied together at all times, and must accordingly work in tandem to surmount the obstacles in their way, swinging, springing and clinging to walls.

* ThroughAFaceFullOfFur: The player characters are feathery penguins and will turn increasingly red from exertion the longer they hang onto a wall. This is {{lampshaded}} by the manual, which calls this 'visual stamina'.

* MiningForCookies: {{Justified|Trope}}. After the incident--presumably, a human-provoked, massive landslide--, a certain region of the mountain gets filled to the rim with fish that then either froze over or got superficially buried in the soil. The penguins then did a bit of engineering to be able to extract it and feed the town with it.

Added DiffLines:

* CollectionSidequest: There are various photographs scattered across the mountain that the titular duo of {{Cartoon Penguin}}s is attempting to scale. Collecting these rewards the player with the pictures themselves, along with [[StoryBreadcrumbs tidbits of lore]] recounting the history of the old penguin who lost them in the first place.


Added DiffLines:

* NoAntagonist: The game's ExcusePlot doesn't provide any antagonists or villains. All the other penguins and [=NPCs=] are quite friendly and helpful, even if {{Deadpan Snarker}}s whenever the player characters fall near them. The only opposing force is the mountain itself, making it a 'penguin vs. nature' kind of conflict.
