Thank you.  Thank you very much.  491.4 meters.  I could've been sleeping

Damnable game!

693.5 meters

Well, time to go back to watching Lum!

475+ requires a nice upward angle ( I presume... I peaked at 480 ish) but...

Doing a 5 or 10 degree angle is more fun -- the penguin skips like a rock on the surface of a lake

update - WOW, looks like the "sweet spot" is actually at a more shallow angle of impact -- I got it around 20 degrees, it went up a bit and when it landed, it skipped for a bit... Almost got 600 8-)

Angle? What the! I must have found the sweet spot.

BLAST! You musta been posting at the same time as me

And here's a hint for those who haven't figured it out: sometimes the click is a delayed reaction, so hold down the mouse and let go for the "click" at the desired time. In Javascript event terms, it looks like .onmouseup is being captured, not .onmousedown/.onmouseclick



PS: Stupid "free games" website -- now I've found a dumbed-down version of "SSX Tricky": http://www.freeonlinegames.com/play/3104.html

I suck at SSX, my son totally kicks ass, so now I feel better about my snowboarding ability
