Looks like you beat me fair and square, skinny!

I missed two of the special bonuses, but if I had only missed one like you did I still would have come up just a tad bit short.  I'd say we are pretty evenly matched but you definitely won.   

For fun I kept going and died at the Jupiter boss on the 2nd loop.  1.4M is pretty good.   
I would say we're equal at this one arnpoly   nice work putting up another score! I think the only thing that separates one of us scoring more is one or two of the combo scores from the group enemies. 

That and I noticed sometimes at the end of a stage an enemy might spawn more than other times.

Just read about the secret bonus! Hahahaha, I never knew that either!

I'm pleased with second place for only playing twice. If I had known about the bonus I'm pretty sure I would have won.

Idk arnpoly if I beat the sun I'm over 1 million   

And if I had gotten the special bonuses I would have been pushing 1.1M!

  1,037,050 ... well done!

I might have some time on Saturday to give this another try.

And the shooter icon just got real! Don't slack off now Bert!! Or skinny goes back to back shooter champ!!! Woooooo bring it Bertie! 

I would have gotten 1 mill. But I only played once on Saturday and once Sunday. I got to the sun on my Sunday run. 

Heeheeeee I got all but one 30,000 bonus stages   

Really?  Need I remind you skinny, that you only got that icon because I couldn't get it both in the first half and the second half of 2015.  

I guarantee I will be the 3 times shooter genre champ!  Bring it on skinny!

Just so you know bert. I never forget that icon is a second place prize. It was a demoralizing way to fail. But it did make me better! I have been right on your heels all year and the next two shooters are more of an equal playing field (maybe). If the were both traditional horizontal or vertical I'd give you the edge. 

Woooooooooweeeeeeee! It's gonna be good folks! Skinny will finally get the respect he deserves and bring the shooter crown home to the Kobra kaiiiii!!!!
 
Yeah, actually...I've never played either of the two remaining shooters.

30,000


Basically they only reason I got 3rd is because no-one seemed to pick up on that (Gui pointed it out in the 2012 contest)

Nice, I got the 20,000 on most of them, but 30,000 would have been a nice bump to the score.

I'll post one million later this week   let's see what you got   
 

Last time I got called out I had to change my avatar for 6 months, so I'm not so sure I wanna do this!   

I might give it a try though.  I've been spending all of my time on trying to figure out Ikari Warriors but I might sneak some time in.
 
All good arnpoly! Considering your a dad, blogger and still put up a great score. Well, impressive.
