First time I've ever played this game. Beat the first stage, boss was pretty easy, but I died near the start of the second stage. It's a pretty good game though. I'll keep working on it whenever I have time.

EDIT: Beat my old score, got a new one. Been practising on the bosses a bit, the ninja guy is a pain in the arse, but the wolf thing is painfully easy, it reminds me of Wheel Gator/Blizzard Buffalo in the MMX series but easier.

Wow, not much action here, it seems. Anyway, I'll get myself to play this game soon, even if it's just 20k, just for the participation point.

Here is my best go.58000

54900  so I'll at least get participation  I'll see if I can do better though.

Here you go, my score for now. Not impressive, but enough to at least get a participation point.

37,150

Edit:  Here is my new score.  76,600

Finally got some game time in, hopefully will get a higher score later today!

Was a BLAST!

Pretty good bump, had trouble getting a good pic so I included a close up of my score.  Hope to try again later.  Great game.

Updated my score, check previous post.

@GhostNinja What emulator are you using? I can't fullscreen nesterJ.


Here's my current best,

I never played this before. It's pretty cool! Took a few tries to figure out what's going on, but now I'm getting better at keeping the robots from dying.

EDIT: Beat my old score. Died prematurely due to having to get a different robot (seems like there are only 2 robots that are worth using). I think this is it for me. Good luck to everyone else!

There, so you don't go saying I abandoned the contests . And just for the sake of being show-off, I'll say this is my first attemp. bwahahaha.

278,500



Taken just after dying on the last level (before the second encounter with the gravity boss in the last stage). I didn't pick any of the extra lifes, so I only have 1.

Okay, time to submit. Done played this every chance I got this week. So far beat it 3 times without dying, each time getting a little bit higher score. I'm real happy with my score, but still felt I could improve upon it again, but looks like this is the best and is going to have to be being so short on time.

Score upon beating game without dying 1,385,650

 

Oh, and video for this one too.

You get a million points for beating the game if I understand correctly.

 

Yes. So in this case, if anyone wanted those extra million for this contest they'd have to beat the entire game without dying.

Sweet!
