Can no-one who's complaining about not getting badges read the message up at the top of the game?
"Please note: If you are using Ruffle, badges will not work normally. In order to earn a badge in a Flash game, you will need to complete the badge, then submit a screenshot (showing both proof of completion and your username) as a missing badge report."

Click the '.' under the Complete the final 6,000-distance achievement to follow a youtube link explaining why it's so depressing. Well worth the click!

Day 1 - Bounce to get achievement. Buy acceleration.
Day 2 - Bounce to get enough distance to buy glider.
Day 3 - Stall your flight for as long as possible. Buy the first 2 ramp heights and one air resistance.
Day 4 - Hold back the left arrow as soon as you lift off to get the altitude award. Buy an acceleration and an air resistance.
Day 5 - Fly the 10' ramp. Go for distance, not altitude. Buy another 2 ramp heights.
Day 6 - Pull up as soon as you lift off. You should level off at ~20 feet, but this is enough to get both the time and altitude awards. Buy the first rocket and 2 rocket fuels.
Day 7 - Go back to the 5' ramp and get the 2 remaining awards (distance and time). Buy the 4th acceleration.
The main thing is to always go for achievements when you can. Always go to the newer ramps as soon as you unlock them, buy stuff and go back to previous ramps and get all the achievements left. Gliders are the most important, next comes the rocket, then acceleration.

What's the point in people cheating at these games? Finishing in 0 days? Max speed 4,024? Max height 12,971? Gimme a break. Losers.

I beat the game as I crashed into the water. If that happened, then how is that penguin still flying in the cut-scene?

So tell me... How does the penguin read the gauges while staring down? The reflection? And won't he just dive in as soon as he sees a fish? Sounds kind of sketchy...

I remember how I tried so many times to beat this game as a kid and now I return and beat. After so many years this is the real feeling of fulfillment.

do i at least get an achievement for being the first penguin to dive underwater with a rocket that still works underwater and glider still dry?

For those of you struggling to get the hard badge, I found this day by day walkthrough forum posting from seryan in 2010 to be invaluable. I was able to get the hard badge after about 2 hours:

congragulations on the people who can beat this game in 0-5 days... you made it impossible for us to recognize that you's HACK!

I literally can NOT beat this game. I actually can't get past the 35 ramp. It figures, the one site I play it on to get the achievements, and THE CONTROLS DON'T WORK FOR ME! This is the only site I've played it on where the controls don't work - and based on the comments from other people, I'm the only one having this problem.
