The furthest I got my penguin was 971.09
The highest total score I got was 2721.14

I'd post my pics but I have to make them incredibly small to reach 97.0 mb's. How do you get the picture to be viewable but stay under 97 mb?

Here (http://ebaumsworld.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13698&stc=1) is a picture, but it's so small and hard to read. That's at 95.0 mb to...

I love all these penguin games...damn addicting though!

Here's my best thus far:

1466.56 max distance ~ 4146.58 combined total distance (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13714&stc=1)

I'm going to try to do better...figure if I hit in the mid 1400's once, I should be able to do it 3 times. We'll see...

Edit: 1516.33 max distance (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13715&stc=1)

Edit: 4363.42 combined total distance (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13717&stc=1)

Here is a picture, but it's so small and hard to read. That's at 95.0 mb to...What program are you using? I use the basic paint program that comes with windows...I take a minute to crop the picture though, and that may be how I'm saving space. My attachment was only 23kb. PM me if you need help...

when it loads it shows you where you are throwing like when you start out it is like australia. there were other dots on that map it showed. when do you pass the levels?

i think the other levels are where you played in the prequels. by the way, my highest the third one is 365 point something.

Hey I just beat my old high score...where's everyone else at?

Here it is ~ 1522.85 max distance and 4410.38 combined total distance (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13744&stc=1)

Anyone else broke 1500 yet besides me? Someones got to beat me...

I don't know, but I did it again...

My high score ~ 1530.82 max distance and 4444.65 combined total distance (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13745&stc=1)

...well, maybe I do have a trick or two up my sleeve. I've experimented with a couple ideas, and one thing I've been doing is arching the penguin in front of the albatross (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13746&stc=1). If you manage to hit the albatross with the penguin just as the penguin is leveling out, the albatross will get some extra distance and speed before the first time you have to flap its wings. If its arched too far in front of the albatross, assuming you still hit it, it will hit the albatross on the way down, which causes the albatross to immediately dive. Conversely, if you hit the albatross with the penguin while its on its way up, the penguin hits the top of the screen, and slows down. I think the wing flapping technique is important too, but I can't give away all my secrets yet! I don't think it matters whether you choose a fast or slow moving albatross from the beginning...I think that they are different speeds to make my above mentioned technique difficult to do. Good luck, and somebody beat my high score please...

Edit: Broke my max distance again ~1574.62 max distance (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13749&stc=1)

Edit: Did it again ~ 1583.31 max distance (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13750&stc=1)

I'm tryin some new techniques out, I'm at least getting closer and closer to 1400. Sometimes I fuck up and hit the right mouse button and then I can't flap my wings and crash, god that pisses me off.

Oh yeah...broke the 1600 mark ~ 1609.85 max distance (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13831&stc=1)

Am I the only one playing this game? Ok, another secret. When flaping the wings, I always do a double flap, never more (exept one last flap at the end perhaps if you're basically out of power). On the initial dive, I wait until the albatross almost hits the ground, and flap twice. The Albatross gains speed, but very little altitude on this one. As the albatross is about to hit sand again, I double flap again, and if done correctly, the albatross should take off for a high, arching swoop that just barely misses the top of the screen. This gives the meter a chance to recharge a bit. As the albatross is about to hit sand after the big swoop, double flap at the last second, and the albatross again picks up speed, but very little altitude, just as it did before. Continue this process to maximize your score.

As long as your albatross does the high arching swoop, you know you are doing it correctly. If it starts to lose speed, or doesn't go as high, or as far as it was at first, you aren't flapping the wings at the best possible time. Unfortunately, the best possible time is always the split second before you hit the sand, which can lead you to fuck up and hit the sand by accident when you're going for a really good score...

Okay...that’s all I have for now. Gonna have to stop playing this game if someone doesn't step up a challenge...

Lol lots of strategy involved in this game. I still suck though. I rarely even break 1000. Ill just stick to Counter Strike.
