On my first couple of goes I did OK, even got the high score for about a minute (thanks Ronin!)

Now I'm obsessed. I just can't stop playing.

Is there a 12 step program to help me beat this thing?

No. No there isn't, I'm afraid.

I'm thinking it's way past time we set up our own Arcaders Anonymous chapter. I nominate Maturin, Ronin, Shake and lunachick to get the party started.

I'm so glad you asked, Leesifer.

In order to beat seal bounce you must:

1. Turn off the sound (it is a distraction that heavily interfers with the required zen cycle).

2. Use the one click hold and release method.

3. Release within one or two spins (any more and you lose mojo).

4. Once pingu is released, if you strike the glacier beneath the first two seals, start over, you've sucked.

5. If you have a release that goes straight up without hitting either side of the glacier, start over, you've sucked.

6. If you have a decent release (above 250) that does not get a bounce on the first seal coming down, start over, you've sucked.

7. If you have a decent release and you get a couple of good bounces putting you over the 300-320 mark, it's a keeper, don't screw up the next swings.

8. If you choose to use body english when you get a good pingu release ALWAYS lean left, don't ask me why.

9. If you have two good (over 300) scores, wait a few moments before your next swing or you'll pass out.

10. If you have several good (over 300) scores, don't forget to breathe.

11. If you choke and jam pingu right into the glacier under the first seal despite having a very good shot at beating my score, do NOT yell the F word or do anything obscene to the computer monitor (especially if you are at work).

12. Remember!! You will not ever beat my top score, so just shoot for second or third place as a reasonable goal in life. We'll both be better off with this realization.

Let me know if you need any further assistance with your positive life-choice and healthy hobby of playing Seal Bounce, Leesifer.

I am here for you.

That's just a fine notion coming from our very own bartender!!

Don't trust him, Lee. He's Satan of the Seals and will seduce you into the suckiest scores like a Siren, 'cepting he's a he and not a she. The devil must be beat.

Get thee behind me, Satan! I rebuke you in the name of Pingu and friends! Begone!!


I think it's safe to continue playing now, Leesifer. Just watch that devil on yer back, ok, babe. ;)

Ignore the succubi, Leesifer.

She recruits innocent children to get her high scores for her.

How low is that?

Besides, we can ALL see that pingu knows who to love.

Don't you pingu...yes...that's my good pingu...um-humm....

Thanks for the help.

I'm so glad you're here for me Ronin - I hope you'll still feel the same when I smash your high score.

Luna, it's too late I've already been sucked in to his evil world. :abducted:

No, there is no 12 step program which will make you Seal Bounce Champion. :gleam:

Refer to step 12 immediately!

It's really not all that bad once you get used to all the empty shot glasses.
