worked m way through about 20/25 tedious rounds of this on hard, I click next round, ad i'm back on round 1 again? Beat it and round 2 again. Not sure quite why it happened, but why do bugged games like this get badges you cannot complete?

Why would a lot of people, polar bears, and fellow penguins would want to hurt this curt, innocent, peng... Oh my goodness, he's got a gun too???

Rocket launcher/shotgun/AK-47 aren't worth your money. I haven't been able to save up enough to try the mini-gun or chainsaw yet. For now I just get the Uzi and then double Uzi upgrade and that carries me pretty far. To get a buttload of money/ammo when you fight the second boss (guy on the snowmobile) just switch to your handgun and keep jumping back and forth over him. I can usually get about $20K-$25K and 1k ammo this way.

if you give a mouse a cookie, he'll want milk to go with it. if you give a penguin a headband, he'll exterminate his whole race.

Ok... for a start... get rid of the RESTART button? I managed to save up 50k while using double uzi... thought replay button might be "replay from shop screen" not... "how about you replay from menu screen with no save/load-continue option"... Already got all the badges in '09, so this is purely for posterity :L

This game has so many things wrong with it... wow, where do I start... 1) You DO NOT make all earned money reset to zero if you lose. If you're dying enough, that means you need money for upgrades and health/ammo supply. Maybe people with cheat engines can beat every level without losing in Hard mode. 2) You should be able to access the store at any time outside battle, not just winning a level. 3) Levels should be replayable. 4) Mouse wheel cycles weapons, but also still moves the screen up and down. 5) In Hard mode, at higher levels, make ammo start at 300 or 400 instead of 200. Even with the gatling gun you're lucky if you can avoid all the hail of bullets to survive, and then you run out of ammo leaving you with only the starting weapon. 6) That's another thing I haven't seen in any other shooting game. Seriously? On level 25 we run out and we're expected to finish that level we were just barely surviving with the starter gun? Every weapon needs to have its own separate stock.

i got to the rocket launcher and about 1000 rounds of ammo, but after half a round, it switches to the first pistol that does hardly any damage by that time.

hey uh... you haven't seen a penguin with a red bandana around his head wielding a gatling gun that's killed atleast 10,000,000 animals and people, have you?

hmm, the recoil on automatic weapons is so big the penguin moves backwards, but he doesnt move his arm at all. what does he do?

I fully agree with Balbanes and there are also so many usability issues:
1) Game starts with aggressive music on full volume without a way to stop it. Once you click start, you are right in the battle and don't even have time to look for the "sound off" button. 2) explain your mechanics. 3) the interface is really hard to get, especially new weapons, upgrades, etc. does my new weapon replace my old one? can I switch between them? does ammo and life carry over between levels? etc. etc.
other than that, it is a basic game.

To get the hard badge. Aside from trying to kill him straight out, bait Clive to chase you into the water. Even though you may die, as long as he gets baited into the water he'll die and you'll beat him!

where does a penguin get a: crown,cape,sword(that can shoot magical lazors) and taught him to use the epic sword and then charge me. PS: whoever taught him forgot about my chainsaw:D rawr

Oh, also. HUGE TIP: You can farm cash and ammo (and health but), on the 2nd boss, the one on the snowmobile. Just keep jumping over him and health, money and ammo will continue to pop out from him. Just keep collecting cash until you have enough to buy the mini gun and plenty of ammo. Then just kill him once you have the desired amount of cash. Makes the rest of the game easier. + this for everyone's good.

I forgot to mention, there is no bonus cash after completing a level. I played on hard and a bonus for completing a level would have helped. I was stuck repeating a level (which, by the way, I lose all my money when my penguin dies), and not having enough money to buy a better weapon because of how easy it is to die and lose all your money and how hard it is to collect money without dying. I had to resort to stalling on boss battles since they drop good every few seconds indefinitely until I kill them.
The game is alright, but it's a bit broken.
