My high is around ~540K. The three diamond blocks have to be close or otherwise arranged to be simple to line up, otherwise I don't even pay attention to them, especially at the higher levels. The game "turns over" after level 16 and restarts at 1. I try to break as many of the blocks with the Snow-Bees (the ones that flash with the ball in them at the beginning of the level) before they hatch, especially after level 10 when the Sno-bees really haul. I'll try to stay near the side of the screen in a place where there are plenty of ice blocks to shove, yet you are still able to turn around and push the wall to disable the Sno-bees as a last resort.Me too. The later stages really kill me with how fast the sno-bees are. I've only been able to get something like 80-90k. I think I see the value of breaking the ice cubes they "hatch" out of before they hatch, and I'm also starting to think it's very rarely worth it to go for the three diamond blocks in a row....
Not as clear cut as some of the other games, I know. If you're at CAX and they have one, I'll show you in person. I used to be able to drop 200-300K pretty routinely. I'll have to practice up on my 48 in 1...thanks for all the Pengo tips !!
So I need to start using the wall more to stun them , destroy the blocks before they hatch and only try to line up the diamonds when they are close together , which alot of times I'd try to line them up but it wastes too much time and I end up getting killed .

Try to stay where you have blocks where you can slide both horizontally and vertically too. The big trick is to just stay alive after round 10, don't worry about the points. Once you get to where you can turn it over (goes back to level 1 and starts over after level 16) then you can start worrying about getting the blocks together in the earlier rounds. In my highest game ever, I turned it over from round 16 to 1 3 times I think. You're going to get caught in the higher rounds, it's almost unavoidable.Yeah that would be cool !! Get some Pengo action going on ! I suck at it though , like really suck , but I'm gonna play later today and follow all these tips .
Those things can really piss you off, no? I swear in the later rounds they're programmed to "shadow" your guy...Those Damn Pesky SnoBees !!!!! Die !!!!!!!
Here's an observation:
Whenever I try to line up the "special" blocks to get the 5K or 10K bonus, I swear that the Sno-Bees know what I'm up to and somehow get more intelligent and start homing in on me big time.
Is this just my imagination? Anyone else notice this?
