Throw the penguin high. It might be an advantage to bounce against the seals.

me -> 331m

Just got 427.7. That's my best so far.
426.47 now. A couple of just-over-400s. Now if I could just do it repeatedly.

Seems to be a lot of luck involved in this one. Penguin wack is still the best.

Which one is that? I don't remember it saying which level you're on so I don't know the numbers.

Ah, ok, I see now. My iBook with Dock at 32 px doesn't have the screen realestate to see the whole game, so I didn't even know there was a number at the top of it. I'm replaying it and decided to grab my lvl 30 for ya:

I got to level 30-something in the warthog game, 34 I think. I then looked at the clock and realized I had played it for well over 2 hours. So I forced myself to quit.

I know what you mean. I got to lvl 39 just now. I would keep trying to get it except I have other stuff to do so I have to make myself stop. I took shots of 30,32,35-38 though so if I decide to try again it won't be too difficult to whip though the first 38. I didn't take shots of the ones that only take a few seconds to get through.

[edit] And since the first post where I said "Which one is that" is when I started playing, it just confirmed that I wasted an hour on it this time. Add that to however long I played the first time and it's just too much...

I also wasted a lot of time on the warthog game.

Does anyone know if that game is actually beatable?

Warthog Launcher can be beaten. It ends at Level 40 in which the engineers (alien things) move back and forth and up and down. Here is what you get at the end.

Congratulations

End credits

Good luck.
