I didn't expect the whale to show up, either.  It was really not fun until I realized you could hold the mouse down to fire continually, and then I wondered why you didn't just auto-fire all the time.  Once I did that, it was more fun, and the upgrade system was cool (although with no penalty for dying, why buy health?).  It was frustrating that I shot from somewhere left of my actual penguin, too - made it hard to aim sometimes.  But a neat idea, with much more complexity than it initially seemed to have."},{"author_name":"asfdfdfd","author_uid":"2404","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 9:07pm","epoch":1335474120,"text":"@DaveDobson\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great ideas!"},{"author_name":"matt","author_uid":"7275","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 6:54pm","epoch":1335552540,"text":"Pretty solid.
