lol!
321 is my best so far. It seems the trick is that you hit when the penguin it is low, but not too low. If you wack the penguin when it is still quite high, it goes sailing and plunges with it's beak into the snow. If you hit it too low, the thing goes skidding to a stop. You want enough force so that it flies smoothly in a straight line and then glides for a ways on the snow

I like the other version better, the one called bloody pingu throw

Instead of a baseball bat, you use a spiked club. And to add a little spice to the game, it's full of mines on the ground that can send you farther if you hit them

Guess what the bloody part means

@Fibey, I remember that one, it was very blood filled.
Though I never was any good at it, I'll have to see what this one is like in comparison.

The farthest I ever got on this one was 322.9, can you charge up your throw, or do you hit with saem force every time?

Kitten Cannon? love that game, farthest I ever got was 2119, on account of luck with the crates and balloon mines.

321 is my best.

With 320.9 being my second best

@Phreddie: No, I think the hit is everytime the same. At least it seems like that to me

That's odd indeed. I suppose the area above and the area below the equator are two parallel universes after all
