What did you do to the Penguin?

This version is a bit rougher on the penguin.
Got a 651.6 on my first try, then vomited.

I beheaded it and whacked it into a mine field.
 
Noooo! That's not the nice version!
 
Right. The "nice" version only clubs the penguin with a blunt instrument. :)

And he doesn't get hurt. :devil:
 
Is this one the same version?

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

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



By the way, is he on fire? Maybe we should get Evo to beat him off.
 
I do "not" beat off penguins.

My favorite non-pirate penguin.

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.
 
My high score on the faster version is 566.9

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.

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

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

It did not occur to me where the flag was inserted until you pointed that out. :smile: :bugeye:
 
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 :wink:
 
It's Smack The Penguin time again!

To get distance, you want him to fly in a low arc then belly skid. A high arc will result in him crashing head first into the snow.

Nice game! I finally got to 323.5 after hitting 322.9 three times. Anyting between 189.1 and 207.3 is a definite face plant. Just for fun, how well can you bunt? I got a short on in the 80's then tried to shorten that, I promptly got a 71.7 and it took me about 10 more minutes to score a 64.1.

I believe smack the penguin is older, no flash.

most likely.. I just noticed that this thread is four years old; I used to play mine one about three years ago. It has some new games and the UI is lot more complex now, but it was flash even 3 years ago.

Penguins Revenge is much easier to play :)
