	Very addictive, great game! posted by Velmont @ 129.240.78.250 on Oct 27 2006 12:05 AM
It has a much faster gameplay than Frozen Bubble. Very addictive. We play it all the time here at a computer society. The high-score is really fun, and you can watch replays on the net. Linux Format reviewed it, and was very positive.

	a good clone posted by enjomitch @ 81.219.36.40 on Aug 5 2006 6:08 AM
Very nice. Cool sounds, challenging gameplay. As predecessor said - more informative longue please. STH like ranks of players would be good to choose one with appropriate level

Good game, but I think it needs polish graphics wise. The internet play needs to be more informative, for one a list of users would be nice! Like Battle of Wesnoth.

I think this has worst graphics than FB, just getting some nice effects on balls could look better. Nice playn' online & chat is a must.

Re: ... vs Frozen Bubble posted by fydo @ 209.115.182.18 on Aug 8 2006 9:04 AM   I think it's more of a question of taste, because I actually prefer the Pengupop graphics rather than Frozen Bubble's. Anyways, I agree with you about the chat. :)   [Reply]   Re: ... vs Frozen Bubble posted by Anonymous @ 83.30.145.115 on Jan 21 2007 5:08 AM   I think this project should join the FB team. The main difference is language used.   [Reply]

Re: Pengupop posted by mortehu @ 84.209.96.172 on Jun 18 2006 1:58 PM   Yep, I patched it to throw out idle players (several people stayed connected for days), and introduced a bug at the same time. That's fixed now, but the server will crash once more before the patched version is started. I've put up a watchdog to restart the server whenever that happens.   [Reply]

	Nice start posted by CrazyTerabyte @ 201.29.48.181 on Jun 16 2006 8:20 PM
Nice polished graphics. :) Here are my thoughts/suggestions: Allow internet play. (currently, can only play by "name") Maybe allow internet play with a "master server", for finding players. Too many ball colors make the game much more difficult and less enjoying. I think we should reduce the number of ball colors, or at least make this an option that can be modified. Everything into one executable? Nice, interesting, never saw a Linux game like this. However, this makes "modding" or "customizing" (graphics and sound) more difficult. (which leads to an interesting suggestion: themes support!) Please write a manpage, a README, or at least print something when passing -h, --help, -v, --version to executable. This game looks nice, but wouldn't it be better to "expand" (or extend) Frozen Bubble to add multiplayer support? Since Frozen-Bubble is already a good (single-player) game, and pengupop will be a good (we all hope this :) ) multiplayer game, and both are very similar, why not join them? (hum... maybe because they are written in different languages?)

Re: Nice start posted by mortehu @ 84.209.96.172 on Jun 17 2006 2:28 AM   Internet play is supported: You just agree upon a game name with your friend, start a named game, and have her join that game. This is controlled by a master server. Joining a random game will set up a game with another person having selected the same option.   [Reply]

Developers, could your check you licensing policy? The code has no licenses, except for bin2c.c which is BSD licensed, yet the main COPYING file contains the GNU GPL license. I mean, both are alright for the community, but having this game BSD licensed would make it easier for *me* to work on additions.

Re: Pretty Cool, but ... posted by Anonymous @ 87.64.30.191 on Jun 13 2006 7:53 PM   yep and a plugin for gaim to play against friends with one click   [Reply]   Re: Pretty Cool, but ... posted by mortehu @ 84.209.96.172 on Jun 14 2006 3:43 AM   Chat will be implemented, as well as command line options for making IM client plugins possible. Frozen Bubble currently provides a nice, free single player Bust a Move experience. I will add one to Pengupop too, but not necessarily within the first couple of months. You can press F to toggle fullscreen mode. I am aware that this is not obvious enough.   [Reply]
