i think somebody might have ripped off your game and made Race Penguin on apple. Maybe it's the other way around. Just saying.
I've never heard of Race Penguin, but there are lots of hill-sliding / surfing games. Wavespark, Tiny Wings, Dillo Hills, Dragon Fly, Moon Chaser. Wavespark was first.
You get more points from perfect landings, bird and mushroom bounces, crystals collected, and bonus time at the end of each level. Also, every point you earn is multiplied based on your happiness. 400k isn't easy, though!

Completely epic game, I just felt that there should've been some gems in the sky; also it would've been a nice touch if after purchasing all upgrades, your armadillo turned golden!
Yep! Some of the levels in the sequel have floating crystal asteroids that you can smash for bonus crystals. I don't have a good GIF/video handy, but I snagged a screenshot! http://i.imgur.com/NAfbn.jpg I love the golden armadillo idea. I'll have to see what I can do. ;D

I think the game needs an option to turn off background elements, like the clouds, for people with slower computers. ><
Absolutely. The sequel uses a much better engine, so it should perform better for everyone. Additionally, I've added a lot more graphics options so you can turn things down to just the barebones essentials if you're on a slow machine.

@tmdude9586 I hate it when people say these games are "ripoffs". If that's the case, then isn't Battlefield a ripoff of CoD? Isn't Tekken a ripoff of Street Fighter? No, they're just from the same genre.
Minecraft : Infiniminer, Diddy Kong Racing : Mario Kart, Angry Birds : Crush the Castle, Tiny Wings : Wavespark.
I know Dillo Hills is very similar to Tiny Wings and Wavespark, but I like to think we add our own flavor to it. ESPECIALLY with the sequel.
I've had a couple people report that problem, but I have been completely unable to reproduce it. I've tried on several different accounts with several different browsers, and it works every time for me (http://i.imgur.com/jILdN.jpg). Are you stomping all 5 birds in one playthrough, or over multiple games?
I have found the bug that was causing data to be lost. You can recover your old upgrades and crystals with these instructions: http://fexlabs.com/DH1/DH1upgrades.html This is our fault, and we're very sorry we didn't catch the bug sooner. It won't happen again!

A refreshing momentum game, reminiscent of Yoshi's Island skiing levels. The hat challenges are ridiculously hard and specific, which dampens the incentive to replay, but it was a fun way to waste a couple hours.
You betcha. It's by Chris Hurn, and all of his work is amazing! He's got the full soundtrack for Dillo Hills over on his site: http://chrishurn.com/music.html

Would be nice if this game actually saved your progress in between plays. Games like these were not meant to be played by sane people in one sitting. That is a serious liability for what would otherwise have been a cute way to kill time.

Is there some specific way you have to land? Seems to me like the only thing that DOESN'T make him go OUCH is when he lands on the left side of a slope, which is irritating as all hell when you're not maxed out on the various speed things, and kills the game extra fast. Also, there's a bug which crashes the next round if you're holding the right arrow key while clicking "Next Round". Have to restart via the pause button on the right to fix it. :(

You updated the game and thus destroyed our save files so you could throw a stupid ad on the main screen?? Screw this, I'm not starting over from scratch again.

My only problem with this so far is that the tutorial menus that pop up mid flight, while I'm trying to get used to the controls, stopping the action, is very, very, annoying. Great game though.

I played once identical game on android, but it was made much better. I'll give this... "game" one star only because negative stars are not possible. I think it's the worst crap I ever played on kongregate.

Anyone know the key to getting a high score? I can't tell if you get more points for a few big jumps and good time or more short jumps.
Points are awarded based on the number of perfect jumps and high jumps (but not for how long you stay up there), distance traveled, birds/mushrooms bounced on, and any bonus time remaining at the end of each zone. And each time you earn points, it's multiplied by your happiness ranking (1x to 5x). I've had the most luck by doing a sharp up-and-down zig zag, bouncing between a perfect landing and a "high jump" bonus as fast as I can without letting my happiness drop below 5x and without sacrificing too much bonus time.
Woops! This was patched recently, it only requires 10 jumps now. The store text hasn't been updated yet, but I'm holding off on any new updates until I figure out why people are losing their upgrades. EDIT: Fixed the upgrade loss bug. The store is now updated to reflect that only 10 jumps are required.

Are you supposed to lose all your upgrades when you get past level 10? It makes getting the hard badge difficult if you don't get it on your first try.
Nope, your upgrades should be permanent. I'll look into it.
Out of curiosity, did you change computers/browsers, or did this all happen during a single playthrough? Your upgrades are saved as SharedObjects (which is essentially a cookie for Flash), so they should be saved any time you come back to the same computer/browser. One of the things we've done for the sequel is make it so you can save your upgrades to an account that way they're always safe.
Either way, I'll look into this bug. EDIT: Thanks for the bug report, we found it and squashed it!
