'Tis the season for elves and penguins to make their appearance in holiday theme games. While apenguin in the Arctic is scientifically inaccurate, it is funny. Take a game with elves and penguins and throw in some slap stick and you have one hilarious game.
The somewhat demented folks at KewlBox games bring us Spank the Frank. Forget the puerile name for a moment, And imagine the thought process that went into a game whose object is to hit penguins off of a cliff with a cricket bat. A little bit sick and a lot of fun. Throw in some balloons, penguin munching steel traps, spiked balls and gingerbread paratroopers and you have a three ring circus of a game.
The object of this game is to hit as many penguins (Franks?) into floating baskets while avoiding hitting them in baskets contain deadly penguin traps. You can vary the power of your swing by clicking ore than once . Other than that the only other skill involved is timing your penguin shots. Who said that penguins were flightless birds.
We like this game for it's off beat humor and whack-a-mole fun for everyone factor. Fun for everyone except members of the ASPCCP (Arctic Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Cartoon Penguins.)
