The addiction has resurfaced.

[Don Quixote]

Here we go again. My longest is 323.5. The farthest I've been able to get him in the air is 207.6. You might also try to see the shortest distance you can make him go, while still making contact (harder than you think)--mine is 69.2

Dangerously addictive. My personal best so far is 321.

[Auburn Annie]

305.9

[Peter Bro10]

somehow i just can't help but feel sorry for that penquin...

but not that sorry... my best is 320.1

Addictive?? I can walk away any time I want!!! really!! sort of... oh well one more won't hurt, right? I swear I'll quit tomorrow. lol

Oh I haven't played this one in awhie. If you don't hear from me in a few days, I'm still playing :)

[Winter's Claw]

Keep your eye on the penguin. Just giving an update on my personal bests:

Best total distance: 322.9
Best in the air: 207.5

291.7 just now, but he mainly bounced that far*********

I got 0 on my 1st 3 times. :D

[Shutup and Deal, I'm Losin']

If you try to hit him while he's too high, he'll soar, but then he'll come to a dead stop when he lands. If you do it right in the center, he won't soar quite as far, but his beaky won't get stuck in the snow and he'll bounce/slide.

Or try this. I got 198.

The helicopter one is a tough one for aging baby-boomer reflexes. I managed 608--not very indicative of my average.

Up to 836 now; it's nice to have a productive morning.

Up to 949 now; can't seem to break 1000, unless you mean number of helicopters.

[Shutup and Deal, I'm Losin']

I got 22 on my very 1st try. Not bad considerin' I didn't even know what to expect.

[Shutup and Deal, I'm Losin']

421 the second time.

While waiting for that darned flood control ( :mad: ), I got 832. :)

[Shutup and Deal, I'm Losin']

Here's a big hint: DONT LOOK DOWN AT YOUR SCORE WHEN YOU START DOING GOOD, BECAUSE THAT MAKES YOU NERVOUS AND MESSES YOU UP

I keep messing up right after hitting 700.

[Shutup and Deal, I'm Losin']

Ohhhh yeah! Feast your eyes upon this score. (I took a quick snapshot with my dij-camera just to prove it)

Nice. I'm up to 1447; time to give it a rest...or maybe one more try.
