Even if I didn't have controller issues, I don't think I'd be able to crack the top 10 this week anyway.  Everyone keeps coming up with great scores.

However, this game is the reason I started playing the contests: a chance to play games I wouldn't usually play and to maybe find something I'd really like. I just ordered a copy of this game and though it won't come before the end of the contest, I still want to own it. It's that awesome.

Got the leaderboard all up to date (totally forgot to do it on Monday afternoon ) Loving all the scores so far! Keep it up and let's see even more.

Also, I love how everyone is discovering a new game this week that they like. A lot of people have never heard of it or knew what it was, but any time I introduce someone to Palamedes, they love it. I'm glad I was able to help all of you find a hidden gem on the NES

-------------------------

My NES collection count: 757 games (16 to go for a full set)

Latest Purchase(s): Snow Brothers

"Wait...Bimmy and Jimmy??  How'd they make a mistake like this!?  Bimmy isn't even a real name!"

Beware the Bimmy Marsh!

I don't normally care for puzzle games (other than Tetris), but this one has been a lot of fun.

Good job man! I think I got to level 14. Only got 10 perfects though. Had to bail on the other perfects and use combos. Hopefully I can make it to the end before the week is up.

I made it to the end but I only got 9 perfects... Im really not as fast as some of you guys cause just getting 9 was the best Id done so far. I still plan to work on my score some but as far as for me I think Claybirds score is safe.

I hope he plans on improving it as I'm certain it won't stay in the lead for long as I know there will be some even higher scores coming. I'm just hoping I can keep myself in the top ten.

I'll try and give it some kind of improvement but it'll be a busy week outside of the tournament. I'm sure you guys will get right up there fast and if Tom is participating this week I'm sure he will destroy my score.

Your score is pretty impressive,but I'm not sure where it will be in the end as it seems like puzzle games bring out the talented players in droves. I know Tom is participating and I'm sure the regulars will be posting at some point...dev,vectrex,guillvoie,crabmaster,retrodave,etc.

Sorry man. I didn't realize I left you out. The intent to post your name in that group was there though.

Ha, no problem, I'm just giving you a hard time. I'm only really a major contender in the puzzle genre and a few other specific games. I just don't have enough experience with most of the games we play.

Waiting to see a score from crabmaster. I guess he's busy with his crabamaniacs.

Yeah he usually loves these puzzle games. Maybe he saw my jab at him earlier in the thread and it scared him off?

UPDATE: 564,210

11 straight perfects followed by a death. You really pay for those little mistakes in the later stages.

when you all say "perfects" what do you mean?
what constitutes a "perfect"

ex: right this second i am about to start level 4
my score currently, after 3 levels is 78,770

I did all my clears with the 5 lines (1,2,3,4,5,6)

am i doing this correctly?
am i missing something?

thanks!
