There is an absolute maximum you can get in this game if anyone wants to know :P

Yeah I kinda do want to know actually.

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 play the much more *very* violent version of this game:
http://fastgames.com/kittencannon.html
Just tried it - what a blast. Got an all-time high (OK, for 5 minutes or so...) of 1551 - lucky sequence of bounces as the kitten hit multiple explosives and floating bombs.
 
317.3 is my highest so far, but I got the biggest laugh out of my 207.6 shot that landed him beak-first in the snow with his feet still sticking out. :smile:
 
After about an hour of playing:

high: 322.9
highest nosedive: 207
Most awesome nosedive: exactly 200 (thrice!)
lowest non-zero:67.9

I should probably finish my homework now...

What was funny about it? You know I'm always thinking about Pengwuino when I'm playing this . But I'm sure if I was thinking of you, I'd certainly get a better result!:devil: :biggrin:

Actually I was thinking of Pengquino the entire time as well. Little bugger needs to lose weight, he'll fly farther that way.

I'm going to try dduardo this time!:-p

PS It's not fair. We spell your difficult UN correctly, but you misspell Pengwuino(perhaps deliberately?), Mr franznietzsche!:-p (He was lucky that q is near w. Pengluino, pengmuino, pengbuino,... )

You know what, you try spelling his name after 3 hours with the Schrödinger equation in 3-dimensions. Bleh. Did I mention that I hate spherical coordinates? Not because they're hard, but because every other textbook swaps phi and theta from what the last one used. Even my multivariable calculus professor keeps swapping them. Drives me bonkers.
 
I've played this game many times before, and got 420 one time.

(I haven't read the thread yet, excuse me if this was posted)

In this one you can reduce the penguin to a stump. The snowman has a spiked club, and the penguin is flying through a minefield.

Where's PETA?

Where's Penguino?

Totally agree with you! They're supposed to make the equations easier but they're sort of problem themselves.

By the way, I think we should do something about Pengwuino.:devil: we already have lots of trouble with his current weight, and he just continues eating and trying different restaurants and food.(just read his recent threads!:eek: )
 
321.1 was my highest with several at about 317. 207.1 was my longest face plant.

For the spiked club, I smacked the penguin's head 497.1. (Edit: Make that 664.6 - I decided to try one more time and got a couple of lucky hits on the mines)

321.1 first shot

junk afterwards
 
This is a great game.
There is a new version now, you can download it free from Yeti sports where you can alter the "angle of flight" to make Pengwuino go further

I`ve currently got a distance of 448.2 bu ti don`t know how to insert a screen print:cry:

317.2, but I'm going to keep trying. :redface:

The biggest problem for me is that the guy swings when I release the mouse button, not when I push it. The arthritis causes my fingers to lock into position sometimes, so I can't govern the release time very well.

Just get some WD40 in there, that ought to lube up the joints.
 
the one's with the mines is way easier. 975.3... A wee bit gory though.
 
The PFing day is done and I can't beat 322.9. Bah!

Thanks a lot, you jerk! I tried it and the first time I lit up a smoke my hand caught on fire. Just see if I ever take your advice again.
 
I don't know if this is good or not, because I can't get the 'scores' screen to load, but I just fired that cat 1,743ft. :devil:

Hmph...I keep missing the penguin on that one, or sending it on a line drive directly into those spikes. There seems to be a very narrow range where you can swing to actually hit it.

I can't get that page to load either. But I beat you, by just a bit...1,782! :biggrin: Most of my shots are total duds...lots of pop flies right into the venus flytraps. But that one was spectacular! :biggrin:

when you get into the 2,000's, let me know:approve:

Considering it is more chance than skill, I'll probably have to play a few more days before I get a score that high. :biggrin:
 
Don't get too comfortable, kid. 1965 that time. :biggrin:
