Crazy Mammoths is the finest single-button, mammoths-encased-in-blocks-of-ice racing game. [friday flash fun]
Penguin bashing game! Oh no! There went the last productive hour I had left in me. I guess it's only my just desserts.

For some reason, after I lost, my computer shut down. Utterly.
I didn't realize there were real consequences for losing. I imagine winning must be glorious.

Strangely entertaining. Is this what NASCAR is like if you have infinitely more patience and finitely more beer?

Sorry. I'm a grammar Nazi.
And apparently better at this game than I am.

Interesting. I don't really get the strategy yet. I think it would be better with an indicator of how far to the next line.

Spelling Nazi. That's spelling, not grammar.
(Sorry, I'm a... well, just a Nazi, I guess.)
Also, this game is great, even though I am terrible at it.

Am I just so ready to assume that Flash game designers can't spell that I misread the message as "you loose" when, in fact, it says, "you lose?" I just tried to intentionally throw a race to check, but accidentally won, and I can't be asked to do it again, even though it is Friday.

Conversely I just won a hard-fought race, and was told "You loose". No, I tight.

Spelling gag aside, you realize you're supposed to win the most lines, not necessarily the finish line, right?

I just won a game without ever hitting the space bar. I'm not so sure about the strategic value here.

All right, I just played it for about 45 minutes, and now the whole world is pitching and tilting like a ship adrift in a squall.
STOP MOVING, FUCKING MONITOR!

I got the first snowcone powerup, but King Penguin keeps telling me to "Use the frozen fire" - what does this mean?

Couldn't beat the final race. Got the first two though. And yes I kept finding myself tilting my body to the right, as if it would help.
The game's designed to make sure you never get so much of a lead that you don't have to worry about the buttwipes behind you. It's a never ending king of the hill kinda thing. I could get the lead but I couldn't ever keep it.
