There are five arguments in the game so far. I'll probably be adding some more. Anyone want to suggest the fallacious anti-ID arguments they are most sick of hearing?

One interesting thing about this game is that it could really influence kids. If you want to get a message across to kids, put it in a game.

Hmm. Thanks for that. My children want a turn now. I understand the symbolism: however, the game may not win universal acceptance since it involves slaying pandas.
However, a few more favourite arguments against ID can be found here if it's any help ….

Great game! Very creative and hilarious. Perhaps a the next edition will include boss stages - Eugenie Scott, then Ken Miller, and finally Richard Dawkins.

OK - five new pandas and a highscoring system. I'll be impressed if anyone makes it to level 10…

I think I know why the critics were so sour about this game - just check out the Flying Spaghetti Monster game. They're jealous.

I couldn't figure the Spaghetti Monster game out.

I made it to 5 on my first try when this thing was originally released, and I'm going to the top this time!
I like the idea of bosses. The Dawkins boss should be a giant panda with a Dawkins haircut, with several absolutely nutty, over-the-top phrases, and he should spawn little mini-Dawkins pandas that fly right at you.

Naturally - bosses and multiplayer over the net are a must….
Fully 3D pandas would be good too!
But then again, I'm not getting paid for this…

Absolutely hilarious. Although I didn't make it that far, I found the voice of "The Pulpit Panda" (panda gallery available here) positively addictive:
"I may be an atheist, but undirected evolution is wonderfully compatible with a strong religious faith."
Also, I can't help notice that "The Activist Panda's" voice ("Intelligent design is an attempt of the Religious Right to establish a theocracy. Oh noo!") gets shriller as it speaks.

Where's the steel-toe booted and brass-knuckled bully-bears?

They're there - on level 8. A little more sophisticated than steel-toes and brass-knuckles, but it captures the spirit of the thing.
You might want to empty your cache now and then, to make sure you have the latest version of the flash file.
Hey - how has performance been for everyone? Does the game slow down at all with lots of pandas on the screen?
