Megan, that is fantastic work!!

I played for two hours last night and I got an opportunity to beat Randy but I made a really dumb mistake on the last turn in the game (where you turn backwards to go through the goal on the last level) and I tried to be too quick. I would have finished with 2 deaths and 68 seconds left. But I died.

Oh well, I have more time to try.

So, I guess the "secret" to the high scores is that there is a ludicrous time bonus at the end of the game?

Sure is, lots of points the faster you finish, helps not to die much either. I'm looking to close the gap, rack up some higher scores later tonight-early morning. I'm confident I can.

No sense holding back on this one:

0

Endorsed by the King (a mainstay in the NA chatroom).

10 deaths on that top run, I kept getting wands to bail myself out.  Had a run after that, was taking the last turn (with 1 death so far) and 75 seconds...  I fell... then fell... then fell... then threw my controller and noticed my fingers were sore.

When I was off to bed last night, I thought I had a big step over you guys. Now it looks like a tiny step.

That's amazing, whatever you score, that's like you always know "you could do better". I'm back to the woodwork, and I'm guessing you guys are going back too.

Still behind on score, but I am catching up, just made a killing with my last scores, will post as soon as I can, waiting for the videos to upload to Youtube first. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

LOL!

We'll probably reach Scott Kessler score if it continues like this until the end of the week.

This is getting pretty good, reminds me of the Bubble Bobble competition, even the Wrecking Crew one, lots of high scores that we keep one upping. Well, I haven't bested any of yours' yet, but am my own, its only a matter of time. But finally, another kick ass contest, Marble Madness was a perfect choice.

I hit 165, but it's not as high as KHan's 165, so I'm not posting it.

Nice run Guillavoie!

Okay, I've started recording every run for Twin Galaxies. I have a 160k on camera, but obviously that isn't good enough.

That's pretty damn awesome though.

I don't think I could handle the pressure.

Two things:
One, here's 102,920. Good enough to slide into like twentieth.

Two, I hate this game.

0

Then again, it's only Tuesday.

Well, guess you guys don't yet have to worry about me beating your scores yet, not as much of a threat as I was hoping to be, I struggled all night with this game, couldn't even top my own highest score, came close to it a couple times, but can't seem to do any better. And a few of those times if only they'd given me more time I could've pulled off something great, but as well most of the games I played, I barely if at all got any wands, don't know what was up with that, being as how before I was getting several per game, and now maybe one every ten games or so if I was lucky enough. I know I want to play at least 11 more games of this, reach that 100 mark, after that not sure, all I know, while it has become fairly easy to beat the game now, I'm certainly not make any progress with the scores anymore, fluctuating a lot from one game to the next. All that Marble Madness last night wore me out, I think by the time this contest is out I probably won't end up playing this game again for years. Maybe I shouldn't have played so much last night, 51 games of it beaten, don't know how many games played total with ones that I lost on, but couldn't help myself, I was determined, if anything to at least top my current highest score, but alas, I was forced to quit, mom got up, so I had no choice but to end my quest so she could watch tv, which is probably for the best otherwise I'd kept playing til I had no more room for pictures in my camera, as was at one point I had to check through all the webcam vids and delete all the ones that I didn't need, had used up almost all of my free space on my laptop.

39th game: beat it with 15 deaths, Score 93.580
40th game: beat it with 5 deaths, Score 119.400
41st game: beat it with 16 deaths, Score 117.370

45th game: beat it with 3 deaths, Score 144.490
46th game: beat it with 11 deaths, Score 115.380
47th game: beat it with 10 deaths, Score 96.050
48th game: beat it with 9 deaths, Score 101.430

Had my name ready to post up on the tv all night, but being as I wasn't ever able to beat my highest score, didn't bother with putting my name up alongside these, but posting them anyway, along with my highest score again. My top 5 highest scores thus far:

Yeah, I'm not only dead tired from playing so much of it, but also don't feel so good today either. That's what I get for not really taking any breaks. I always tend to overdue things all at once.
