G Rekedens from our forums made a great guide for Penguins Arena players : Learn how to be a Pro.

Here an excerpt:

Being hit by a Fish Bomb: You should avoid Fish Bombs at all costs, but if you happened to get launched up into the air, use these tips to land safely back on the ground if possible.

1. Fly away from the water. If your thrown towards the water, press the S (or what ever key you choose for backwards) to start flying away from the water. Do the same for what ever direction your going.
2. If the bomb has not quite gone off yet, and you know there’s no time you escape, brace yourself. If you are going to get thrown forward, hold down S to start going backwards and minimize the force.
3. Never run away while close to a bomb. You won’t make it. If an opponent places a bomb by your feet, running away will only increase your danger. Once the bomb goes off, you’ll be going so fast that there is no hope to fly back to land, and you’ll beat eaten by sharks!

This guide will help new players but we’re pretty sure it will also be very helpfull to veterans! Thank you Rekedens!

Last november we decided to support the working poor by making a 1 dollar loan with Kiva.org for each game sold on our website.
