Smack the Penguin: Test Your Skills & Have Fun!

[Cactus Jack]

My best is 587, I love this game its fun but i can't get higher

Heh, men think they can seduce us with their cooking skills. (ok, they can, but we're NOT going to let them know that!)

Melinda, you "definitely" qualify as a PF Sister of the Hood.

My small successes at turkey-smoking, salmon-smoking, shrimp marinading and grilling, and pizza-sauce making have given me a pass on lots of routine cooking. My wife says that if I die before her, she will be miserable forever after because she will never be able to have "real" pizza again. She is quick to explain that's not all she'll miss, but I have my doubts. :uhh:

She makes the best casseroles, soups, Italian and Mexican foods, etc that I have ever tasted (and some French Provincial dishes that will plug your arteries in seconds!) but I am the go-to guy for sauces, grilling and smoking, and those are the things she raves about.

It's Smack the Penguin Time again!

1. Click once on the snowman and the penguin will leap from the cliff.
2. Click on the snowman again to hit the penguin as he descends from the
cliff.
3. What's your distance? Good Luck!

actually you can click anywhere.

3. What's your distance? Good Luck!

283.5 was my best. I'm not very athletic.

 

[mattmns]

316.3 after a few tries.

 

[Kurdt]

The link won't work for me :(

 

[Evo]

The link won't work for me :(

That's really sad! This is how it looks.

 

[Kurdt]

That's really sad!

I was really looking forward to smacking the penguin.

Anyhoo I remembered I was registered on yetisports and did theirs instead . The game is probably different from the linked one so I can't compare however.

 

[Math Jeans]

321.1 is my best so far.

EDIT: Just hit 323.4

 

[turbo]

314.7 on the third attempt. The previous attempt resulted in a high trajectory and a face-plant. The distance flag impaled the penguin in a delicate spot.:uhh:

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

I thought my 283 was pretty good, but I see others doing much better. So I went back and was able to improve my score. Then I saw a way to cheat the system and got a 384.3

 

[Math Jeans]

I havn't figured out how to cheat the system yet...so I'm stuck at 323.4

 

[Moonbear]

Ooh, I had forgotten how fun (and addictive) this game is!

I got a 317.9 finally. On my first attempt, got a 305, then a whole lot of misses and short face plants before I finally got the timing right again.

 

[turbo]

This version is a bit rougher on the penguin.

[BobG]

I got a 323.4 (followed by a total whiff and a few grounders)

 

[Math Jeans]

No kidding . 1133.2

 

[Evo]

No kidding . 1133.2

What did you do to the Penguin?

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

This version is a bit rougher on the penguin.

Got a 651.6 on my first try, then vomited.

 

[Math Jeans]

What did you do to the Penguin?

I beheaded it and whacked it into a mine field.

 

[Evo]

Noooo! That's not the nice version!

 

[Chi Meson]

Right. The "nice" version only clubs the penguin with a blunt instrument. :)

 

[Evo]

Right. The "nice" version only clubs the penguin with a blunt instrument. :)

And he doesn't get hurt.

 

[Kurdt]

Is this one the same version?

[Evo]

Is this one the same version?

http://www.henriluoma.net/pingu/

Yes, but this penguin goes faster, I got a 368 with my first hit.

 

[Kurdt]

Never mind. I can't spend all day hunting penguins even though its fun.

 

[Artman]

I beheaded it and whacked it into a mine field.

Oh man. That's an awful thing to do to a penguin. I love penguins... :uhh: uhh, in a purely platonic way that my wife will in no way have a problem... :uhh:



By the way, is he on fire? Maybe we should get Evo to beat him off.

 

[Evo]

I do "not" beat off penguins. :grumpy:

My favorite non-pirate penguin.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

And he doesn't get hurt.

I have to go with Evo on this one. The pixels that represent the penguin in the 'nice' version don't get hurt. It's like the old arcade games "You are dead! Insert 25 cents to play again". In the violent version, there is a pool of red pixels dripping onto my desk. I don't want to talk about this any more.

 

[Math Jeans]

My high score on the faster version is 566.9

 

[BobG]

Is this one the same version?

http://www.henriluoma.net/pingu/

This must be the Barry Bonds version.

My high is 593.5. My high for a face plant is 492.1.

It has a much narrower range to get a decent bounce.

 

[turbo]

Yes, but this penguin goes faster, I got a 368 with my first hit.

Wow! 496 with a face-plant. Got to try for some strategic bounces, since there are no land mines in this version.

 

[turbo]

And he doesn't get hurt.

It's got to hurt a little when he does a face-plant around 200 ft and the distance flag gets "inserted".

 

[Moonbear]

It's got to hurt a little when he does a face-plant around 200 ft and the distance flag gets "inserted".

It did not occur to me where the flag was inserted until you pointed that out. :rofl:

 

[Chris Hillman]

Not that there's anything WRONG with animal sacrifices!

SMACK THE PENGUIN GAME

Lemmee guess... thwarted in its plans for world domination via patent lawsuits, the makers of That Other Operating System have resorted to a kind of virtual voodoo

 

[Evo]

It's Smack The Penguin time again!
