Unfortunately I ran out of time again this week and only had time to get a participation point.

1,455,300 -- Level 4 Boss




I feel like he is definitely a boss you have to beat on the first life (or have perma-upgrades).
Probably would have been better off strategically churning through remaining lives in an earlier part of the level.



All-in-all, an interesting game with more depth than I originally guessed.
The first couple times playing it just seemed like an awful game, but once you figure out the item sequencing and placement mechanics it is much less frustrating.

899,200 world 3-3.

Pretty quirky but neat game. Too bad I was only able to spend about an hour and a half with this last night. I planned on playing for a bit today,but I was doing house work all day and the 49ers are playing right now,so this will be it for me this week.

1,016,800 (Level 3 boss)

I'm back, sort of. I actually came back in time for the Smash TV contest with a couple days left but I haven't been feeling well since I got back. I've only been on here a couple times, just to answer PM's. I'm glad I put in practice runs last month for this otherwise I don't know where I'd be. I wish I put some more runs together but I just haven't been up to it. It is a very fun game though, and great scores all around this week.

No kidding, a beat on this game is pretty impressive.


This is one I'd like to get the rest of the way through sometime, for sure.



The main tactic I figured out for bosses (but didn't completely successfully execute on Boss 4) was that you can layer a TON of rainbows and drop them all at once for big damage rather than hitting them with individual rainbows directly.
