Unless there is an objection, the rule I propose would be that everybody has to start at the beginning.

In-game warps are allowed, if you're good enough to unlock them.

I haven't played in awhile. Is Medium difficulty hard enough to result in a decent competition? I see you only made Wave 07, but would Hard be more appropriate?

My efforts with Arkanoid were futile unfortunately, but I used to be pretty good at this game so I'll give it a go.

Yes, you have a 5x5 field in which you stack colored blocks.  Each level has a goal of getting certain formations (all diagonals, 3 vertical, 5 across, etc).

If you manage to make an "X" (two 5-piece diagonals) you get to warp and get some kind of big bonus.  Getting that formation is harder than it sounds, though.

Wow, thanks for the info, I'm gonna try to do this right now.

That's the first time I lplay Klax, and really enjoyed it so far.
Thanks to whoever propose that game for this contest.

You're welcome I thought it would be an unusual puzzle game for the contest.


As for getting the "X"...good luck, it will require a ton of luck and patience.

I've actually been able to do the X on the first shot I tried it, lol!
But I failed a bunch of times afterward.

I didn't know that there were high score contests going on! I guess I've been gone awhile. I've really been
missing out! I'm sure I can do better, but it's not bad for a first try.

Well, I've got something in the 140's at Wave 06. I'll wait and post a picture later when I'm done for the evening.

The difficulty really ramps up quick!

Damn! I'm up to 200k by Wave 05, but keep screwing myself on that one trying to go for high scoring plays!

Wave 05 keeps getting me as well!

Sorry it's so hard to see my SN at the bottom

Well, that might be it for me, tonight.  I need to get packed for a business trip so you guys have plenty to time to mop the floor with this score.

I'm up to the 250k range. I occasionally clear over 100k on the first wave, but I haven't quite figured out a good method for Wave 05 that can get me through it every time.


I've only got about a dozen games in, up to this point, and won't get to play again until Sunday evening/afternoon.  I expect you'll find some way to get into the 400-500's by that time

Wow, by Wave 07, no less. It's all about getting the most diagonals/combos possible, prior to finishing each round with a big "X", right? That's what seems to generate about 100k per round, when it can be done.
