315.8!!!! Who beats that?

Title: Re: Penguin lob
Post by: Ceri on January 22, 2004, 20:35:35

1st shot 320.5 - can't get above 260 since!!  I think the trick is not hitting them so they go too high - if they're too high you get no length from them bouncing along the ground - they go down beak first and stay there!
me addict

Title: Re: Penguin lob
Post by: Garden Manager on January 23, 2004, 01:38:36

Cor, what a good little game this is. Just tried it tonight.

You are right it IS addictive.

Best score 322.9 (hows that for beginers luck?) and tend to average between 200 and 300.  End to 'divebomb' it though where the penguin dives head first into the ground. cant get above 200 when it does that.

Anyhow thanks for the tip off about it.

PS I think we should start a league table dont you?

No tim, my highest score was a one off not a regular occurence. Frequently miss, funnliy enough just after a good hit. Seems then to go to pieces.

Title: Re: Penguin lob
Post by: tim on January 23, 2004, 14:14:05

- so how does Eileen never miss?  Must meet this person.
Had a lot of training in air-firing, but it didn't help me hit many of the opposition, and it certainly doesn't cope with PENGUINS! But do love PINGO (TV) = Tim

Later - how MEAN can you get?? Thought I would have another try but it's FORBIDDEN! Not allowed on this server mate!!

Oh what have you done Ava. Now Ian (my husband) has become and addict too!  :o  I found another great penquin game + one where you chuck Santa around on a giant catapult.  ::)   Going to try out some more.  ;) Great little games. ;D  Made my day.

Thanks Sue. Found it and many others - having a great time!!  ;D

Title: Re: Penguin lob
Post by: Garden Manager on January 25, 2004, 01:08:37

Strangely enough after initialy being addicted to start with I no longer fel compelled to play the game, fun though it is. Perhaps I have an inbuilt failsafe to prevent such addictions. Or more simply i cant seem to achieve my early high scores any more.

By the way Doris and Sue, my highest score (so far) is 322.9. Beat That! (you probably will and all ;D)

I seem to find more often than not i hit the thing so high and steep it lands head first. Whilst not producing a high score, this is somewhat amusing! ;D

It seems the original link no longer works. You need to use one of the other supplied weblinks (Page 2 of this thread).

I've just got back into the game this way. :D

Twitter & bisted? - hadn't got over 305 till the 8 year old g/child came from next door and went straight up to 322. How the hell do they do it? And he can land my flight simulator aircraft when I (as an aged pilot) say NO - IMPOSSIBLE!! = Tim

Title: Re: Penguin lob
Post by: SueT on January 26, 2004, 21:31:56

Twitter and bisted is even better Tim ;D  I don`t know what it is with children, they see to have a natural affinity with things of a technical nature.

Tried the link on Page 2 but sat there for ages waiting for it to download.  Am expecting broadband any day now so should make a difference - shouldn't it ??? ???

Hope this broadband is going to be worth the extra money, judging by some of the comments on it lately :-/

can't get above 319.5 - and that's with a lot of trying - try competing the other way - what's the lowest (except for 0) - mines 68.5 so far
