I can't remember if this has been posted before, and if it has, it's time for another round.

Just try to beat 323.3, chumps!

All you have to do is click once to make the penguin fall, and again to swing.

And if you get tired of going for distance, try to land a pop-up higher than 207. Or hit a grounder less than 65.

319.8.
Is a pop-up one where the penguin just sticks in the snow rather than bouncing? If so, I got one at 209. No grounders less than 65 tho.

Long: 323.5
Pop-up: 207.6
Short: around 67-68 range, didn't pay that much attention.

This thing is going to consume my life.

Dang! Ya beat me, Saxon and Jhai?

It is an addictive game, is it not? My manager at work caught me playing it when I had an urgent job to get out, and I had to eat crow for a bit. Luckily he's a nice guy, and I have brownie points to spend.

Thpppt.

I wasn't going to mention it, but the highest score I've heard of is 323.5. I'd be all over that right now, but I haven't been able to get in this morning.

Good job, sluggers.

The face plant is oh so satisfying.

*Points up* I got 323.5 last night (got captured evidence of that one), and I haven't seen anyone speak of a higher pop up, though it may have happened. [Razz] . I've also got exactly 200, but only once. See how hard it is to stay humble when people ignore you? [Grumble]

HC,
amira (fifth post down from top post) said they got 209 on pop-up. So I think that's highest recorded here.

The pop-ups are becoming more fun than the distance....

I can attest to the fact that zgator may be telling the truth. It is in fact possible to consistently get scores of Zero. [Big Grin]

*edit* It is also possible to get scores in the neighborhood of 56 (I think), when the score should be zero. Have yet to figure that one out.

Kama, are you playing the same game?

Ah, yes, being a computer program yourself, you have the ability to infiltrate the system from the inside, and let's just say tweak things a little. Am I right? Yes, I thought so. [Smile]
