Save the swf file to HD and if you use Stand alone Flash Player(1.3mb) that I have on my site flash playback is much faster.

That was hiliarious. One of my coworkers also found one where you swat the penguins with a baseball bat. The farther they go the better.

The difficulty level has gone through to roof, I find it hard to even hit the penguin, let alone do ANY targeting.

Getting a penguin to stick below the water line is harder than catching a fly with chop sticks.


Slick shoes?! Are you crazy?!

Just what I need for this kind of things. How do you use it? Thanks.

All I get is: -bash: ./SAFlashPlayer: cannot execute binary file

Much harder on my G4 1 GHz TiBook than my Celeron 1.4.

More reason to upgrade to a G5 PowerBook when its out.

The trick is to start off with one clean shot, If my first shot isn't clean I start over.



Nailed it !

For the seriously addicted (game improving tip):

The difficulty in the game is that there is a very short space of time where you can hit the penguin accurately. Too soon and the penguin hits zero at the bottom. Too late and the penguin hits Zero at the top. If you're almost on target you may hit 40 or more. A few miliseconds closer and you score 85 or better. The time gap is in fractions of a second!! So, the problem then is clicking with precision right? Even if you know when you would like the snowball to fly; it doesn't always translate into actually doing so because:

It's the mouse, that's the problem. The snowball doesn't fly when you click the mouse, it flys when you unclick it. So if you have a slow and heavy click and then a fast tap click your timing is going to be way off! The solution (and it may take some getting used to if you are already set in your ways of playing) is to hold the mouse button down constantly until you want the snowball to fly. Then all you have to do is unclick and it flys timely and accurately

Where to point the mouse? I tend to point on the white ring just above the bulls eye. Anyone here have a different place they point to?

Yeah, but if you hold the mouse button down too long, the Shockwave menu appears and the game pauses...which is a major pain.
