You know you need a life when you recognize the sound effect of a baby crying as the same one for baby Princess Peach from "Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time."
I think there's a bug... the Pace, Power, and Technique bars look like the maximum is 100 points instead of 60. The other two work fine. Might just be my computer, though.
Great game, by the way! I usually don't go for sports stuff, but this is fun!
This game is wonderful! Except for the one flaw that everybody has spent countless hours pointing out. The gratuitous mechanics implemented to give the developers a larger amount of capital than most flash games. Turn down the greed and you'd have the perfect game!
2. Maximum speed- Result: Not bad. I was able to reach a speed of 1200 (mph). Now considering mach 1 is 717 mph, that means that the penguin was traveling just 1/3 shy of twice the speed of sound! That may seem extreme, but to put things in perspective, the SR-71 Blackbird can reach mach 3! So considering that the penguin is strapped to a rocket, it makes sense that he'd break the sound barrier.
3. Glide ratio: Result- Way too low! This statistic surprised me the most! I managed to fall 100 feet in about nine seconds with a speed of 400 miles per hour. After some conversions and some division, I found that my penguin only achieved a glide ratio of about 23.5:1 . That might sound like a lot, but modern gliders can easily achieve a glide ratio of 50:1, which is more than twice than that. Though to be perfectly fair, we would probably get too bored playing a game with a glider with an accurate glide ratio. We would probably have to wait forever for the penguin to hit the ground.
I'm a physics nut, so of course I had to check to see how many laws of physics the penguin was breaking. (I used the best ramp at the regular angle, the balloon MKII with max fuel, the Omniglider and the Superslide in classic mode to get my data. I'm assuming the penguin's speed is in mph and the distances and heights are in feet.)
1. Maximum height: Result- Not too bad. I easily got up to a max height of max height. In scale, that's more than half the height of Mount Everest. It seems a little high, but the penguin DOES have a rocket pack attached to him, so I guess it makes sense.
The music for this game is so awesome that I've actually got it loaded on my browser just so I can have good music while I browse random stuff on the internet.
