Hi everyone. Screenhog here.
In just a few days, the new Aqua Grabber level comes out. Below is an expanded image of the sneak peek Billybob posted last week. You'll be able to play it next week.
Also, new stuff in the Penguin Style catalog is out today. Go get yourself some great new pieces for your penguin wardrobe.
In other news: I really love music and hope you've been enjoying the big Music Jam '08 party. As you know, there are so many things that make it special. So before it gets taken down on August 5th, I wanted to tell you about some of the cool things you might not know about yet:
- Giant instruments at the Dojo
- Icicles that sound like xylophones when you touch them in the Underground
- Floor piano in the Underground Pool (try flipping the green switch when other penguins are on it)
- Music stages that play only if someone is on them
- Big stage that changes music each day
- AND... The Dance Lounge: Hit the green switch to change the big background. Click it until you see the music notes. See if you can figure out which game the music is from!
Until then...waddle on!
