You won't make it if you keep going backwards! You had 37k yesterday in the picture where you were stuck, but your score that you have posted now is only 32k.

 


Lol I was worried that score was invalid.

Score updated! I was on track to max out but I was tired. I think this may be good enough to place under anyone with max score though.

The rules do say to take your picture on the character select screen after you get a game over unless you max out the score, but I don't really see why you couldn't use it.

You probably could've had the max out with a little luck if you played another hour or so. It would've been worth a try!

It was after midnight last night and I was getting drowsy.

I think I had been playing for 90 minutes to get that score.

You were making pretty good time. I think my last game took me a little over three and a half hours.

Yeah it helps I wasn't trying to squeeze every point out of every level. Playing more casually made it go faster than I expected. Maybe 2 1/2 hours for max score.

I Kept getting stuck on the same laevel as skinny grinny.  Every run I seem to get that map as a different level, and every time I couldn't figure out what the hell to do.  I shot every god dam block that I could.  I'm done with this one.

Im stuck on it again. I shot every piece of wall on the map. I even shot a few of them 10 or more times. I tried pushing blocks like in TLOZ. I tried going through the teleports with different patterns and directions. I don't get it and i am upset. 

I was just sitting here thinking about what Bert told me. I'm not at the house but as soon as I get back I have something to try.

Don't forget that you're supposed to include a piece of paper with your name on it.

Whoops!  I'm not playing anymore of that game.  If that submission doesn't qualify, I guess I don't have a submission this week😑

Score update. I probably could have dragged lv. 43-44 out a lil more just killing respawning enemies but I was just happy to max the score. Also it seems to stop giving you points if you kill the same type of enemy.

This was an early run, on Sunday. I thought I'd have beaten it by now, so I waited. D'oh.

Score updated. My game is still ongoing, but this is all I could get in before time ran out. I suspect this will be a long-haul game (it sort of already has been)!

Thanks I have quite a few of the K'nex figures. They're some of my favorites.

Well, I finished my round. I'm a bit disappointed as I really had hoped to max the score. Obviously this doesn't count for the contest, but thought I'd post anyway. A certain dragon in the higher level 40's beat me down. I didn't last more than 3 or 4 more levels. Oops!  I guess I'll have to give it a go again another time

Dang ninji. You almost had it! I was able to "fool" the dragon into staying sideways and just pelt them in the head over and over. "I've never seen such bravery!" Lol
