I gave this a quick try last night and only managed about 250k. Hopefully I can manage to post a solid score if I get some time to play this week.

Ouch... seems like I will be towards the bottom of the participation scores at this rate with all these talks of 250k scores.

I have an 800K game currently in progress, but I may have to leave it paused until later tonight. I think I'm on Level 43 and I have one life left, but it's looking pretty dire when I stopped.

I think so. I have to use the flash or the NES doesn't show up.

I'm going for a 1cc. 

Hope that's enough for a podium.

Good luck!  I'd love to see someone pull that off this week!

My current run is by far the best I've ever done at this game on one credit.  There's some real tricky spots where a good item drop or level skip is a godsend.

Ya, there is definitely some luck involved. 

levels 50+ get to be..... A real pain in the ass. Not that they are so much more difficult, although they are with the damn laser guys and drunkies, but more so because it's starts feeling like the game is just dragging on for ever.

I use my mobile device as well. And I always tap the screen where the score is before I take a picture, with flash on.

I think it has to do with lighting more than anything, my room is very dark so it may be why but not sure.

I think we'll find this week that there's a lot of score fluctuation.  I definitely left points on the table but at the same time I got quite a few high-point item drops to boost me up.

I was on 33, but I had all the letters except the first e and had a couple diamond drops

wtf, the level filled up with water(?) and gave me a ton of points. This game is confusing.

I finished that run I started earlier in about a minute. Just awful luck trying to kill the last enemy.

Ended up with 841,940 on Level 43.

I like Bubble Bobble so I'll try again some more this week and I'll post a pic later!

Ya, like when the room fills up with (cookies?) and you have, I think 30 seconds, to collect them. That's a pretty big scoring oppurtunity that is strictly luck. And how many times you get that oppurtunity during a run is really kinda unfair  

i know now you already called the waaaaambulance for me
