It loads to the main screen and then freezes. My mouse pointer won't move, I cannot get it to do anything. Have to go to Task Manager to close it. I'm running Vista Home Premium. Tried the game in XP compatibility mode also with no luck.</p> <p>Shelley </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5282#post-56367 Fri, 08 May 2009 21:12:27 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 56367@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks rO - great work as usual.</p> <p>WR </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5282#post-56353 Fri, 08 May 2009 17:55:38 +0000 delenn13 56353@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks to both of you.

I rarely finish a game, however I come back from time to time just to get a smile. If I had to write a review it would look like :) or :(<br /> It's great to know you and the other game-friends for finding (or re-finding) good games and getting useful infos on them.<br /> Thanks again!<br /> graylox </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5282#post-56308 Fri, 08 May 2009 10:18:57 +0000 wizzard_of_ozz2004 56308@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>looks like a great little game to dive head first into, good find rO </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5282#post-56288 Fri, 08 May 2009 02:52:27 +0000 midori 56288@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks, rO... looks great!

It is really amazing and has high replayability. It is a must download if you like platform games.</p> <p>Website Description:</p> <p>You are Tooks the penguin, and your mother has been captured by evil polar bears. To get her back, you must run, jump, and use your trusty umbrella to navigate through all of the polar bear isles until you find her. </p> <p>Features<br /> - Two different types of levels: Time Attacks and Exploration levels<br /> - Penguin avatar<br /> - Player character uses an umbrella to defeat foes<br /> - Game stresses fast play, but does not heavily penalize slow play. There are almost always faster ways to complete the levels than the base path.<br /> - Upgrades throughout the game give the player character more abilities to assist in finding alternate paths or more efficient traversal through levels<br /> - Player character is never killed; he can only be stunned which wastes precious seconds.<br /> - Medal system with a tiered reward system: faster or better play yields a better medal, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum.<br /> - Medals are worth points, and upon reaching certain point quotas, new levels are opened to be played </p> <p>Abilities</p> <p>There will be one new ability gained at the end of the Exploration Level in each world except the last, and at the moment we plan to have 5 worlds. That means 4 new abilities will be obtained over the course of the game. They are listed in the order they are obtained. </p> <p>- Belly Slide: This is not an upgraded ability, though it is worth noting. While traveling on slopes, Tooks can slide on his belly to pick up large quantities of speed.<br /> - Umbrella Float: While in the air you can use your umbrella to float slowly to the ground. You can reach far-away ledges this way.<br /> - Grapple Hook: Swing and jump from grapple points to grapple point to climb faster and reach areas otherwise impossible. Often there will be a single grapple point that will allow a player to pass over a series of more complex jumps<br /> - Umbrella Thrust: Destroy breakable blocks to find additional paths and areas in levels. These paths are frequently major shortcuts and can allow the player to pass by or around difficult portions of the main path.<br /> - Pogo-Tip: Break blocks below you and jump really high. This item can be used to open hidden tunnels below you or it can be used to bounce up to a ledge that is just beyond reach. </p> <p>Levels</p> <p>Levels are broken into 5 worlds, each with 1 Exploration Level and 3 Time Attack levels.</p> <p>Exploration levels have four exits, one exit corresponding to each type of medal. The bronze and silver exits are relatively easy to find and reach, while the gold and platinum exits are more hidden and require better exploration to find. A countdown timer shows the player how much time he has left, because when it reaches zero, the silver, gold and platinum exits all close.</p> <p>Time attack levels have only one exit, and the levels themselves are much more linear. Medals are awarded to the player based on the amount of time that it takes for the player to complete the level. To obtain a platinum will require near perfect play, while a silver medal would more likely be obtained on the second or third attempt. </p> <p>Download (40.5 MB):</p> <p><a href="http://gdiac.cis.cornell.edu/showgame.php?id=PenguinAdventure" rel="nofollow">http://gdiac.cis.cornell.edu/showgame.php?id=PenguinAdventure</a></p> <p>or</p> <p><a href="http://www.penguinadventure.com/index.php?file=download" rel="nofollow">http://www.penguinadventure.com/index.php?file=download</a> </p>
