702,000


My goal was to get over 700,000, which I did. I died with literally one die left on the screen (stupid 2!) and couldn't get to it in time. Lots of great scores on this one which is awesome to see. Seeing as how I'm not a fan of puzzle games at all in the least, I'm surprised at how much fun I had with this one. Think I'll add it to my want list. Thanks bimmy_lee!

I totally agree about the idea of videoing the gameplay. I think I'll give that a go next round. I don't want anyone to think I'm cheating, and plus, it'd kind of be fun to see each others' gameplay. Anyone getting really good scores on the actual console should do a vid too, go for the twin galaxies record at the same time!

I will most definitely. I am trying to get a schedule change for my 2nd job,so hopefully after this weekend I'll have weekends off. And I'm probably done with Palamedes. I may try a few more times,but with all the really high scores being posted I'd have to significantly improve on my old score and even then it may not keep me in the top ten. So just put me down for that one point and I'll look to improve next time.

Why not start with this one?

Also, I doubt many people will want to submit to TG as it's $25+ per game.

So I read your post, and think,"Sure, why not?" So I give it another go. I get a new emu that can do avi vids, and start recording. The controls are just a bit more slippery than on my previous emu, but press on. After filming the game for 15 levels, I die on the second to last line. I WAS HOLDING THE RIGHT BLOCK, BUT MISSED THREE TIMES!!! What's worse, is that the last few blocks were sequential, so I could easily have gotten another perfect. So that's why I won't start with this one, I'll never be able to beat my previous score! I got over 700,000; so it wasn't too bad, but still, it's hard to get that many perfects.

Also, I now have a 4 gig .avi file. How can I shrink that for youtube?

What is this talk about getting top 10 and 1 point, I missed sonething.

I just said that I wasn't making the top ten so give me one point for participation.

sorry about the lighting it was late at night.
was really happy to break 500k. ended up close enough to 600k that ill have to give it another shot this afternoon.
been really enjoying this one.

e2a: just lost my last run at it. this will be my final score. good luck next week everybody!

Am I the only one who thinks this is what Ikaruga would be like if it were on the nes (except the combos I guess). With all the constant shooting and scrolling through the dice its what I think about whenever I play it.

i hadnt really thought about the comparison but i definetly agree. shoot change shoot shoot shoot change.

high score : 2 i hope the gameboy version is ok for 1 point.

Damn I love this game! This is the equivalent of getting 17 perfects but then totally flubbing lvl 18 like a big loser. I'm gunnin' for ya, Tom....

Score: 804,960

Found some more time to play and increased my score. I knew some crazy scores would be posted and I'm sure more to come as well.

Well, time to give it one more go, I can't lose my place in top 10! I'll try recording this run, that could be fun.

Have been busy the entire week and have company over at the moment so I got to play for literally 6 or so minutes all week. Just wanted to submit a score. Good luck everyone!

Good job everyone. Glad you all enjoyed this fantastic game. I just didn't have any more energy to put in to try to beat Toms score, what he got was essentially a perfect run. I don't think it's feasible to perfect level 18.

Yeah, probably. By my calculations, a perfect score would be 1024000. Of course, that many perfects would be ridiculous.

Not sure if it's perfect, but thanks.  Great job to you as well.  I really thought you might break through and get the 18th perfect.  I keep thinking it's out there!

Yeah, getting 20 perfects might be a bit much to ask, but it's a good dream.  That 1,024,000 score has a nice ring to it.
