This Is A Bird Call: Learning To Fly

By Kieron Gillen on June 18th, 2009.

God, we're going for death for Foo Fighters/Bird puns here. My Heron? Er... I give up.

I wanted to get the final part of the Magnetic Family Board Game obsession out the way today, but things have been cheerfully broken. So instead, let’s fill in time with a little more webgame timewastery. When forwarding this to me, Simon Parkin said that I had to give it to day 5, after which, there’s no turning back. He’s entirely right. Again. It’s called Learning to Fly and it’s the story of a penguin, offended by a wikipedia page, who tries to prove he can fly. Maybe if he gets a glider. And attaches a rocket. And… well, it’s alternates between trying to maximise your flying while having the constant motivation of knowing whether you win or fail, you’re getting cash towards the next delivery from the ACME school of penguin-flight. Good fun.
