And to think that my score got me 7th. I was sure I'd be top 5. Everyone was on fire this week.

Now that the contest is officially over, can anyone let me in on how the hell you guys were completing the game with such low scores? I don't know a lot about the mechanics of this game. I tried to stick to elbows once I unlocked that so I'd be hitting them fewer times. Still wound up with double the average score by the end.

Really fantastic competition this week. Sorry I missed nearly all of it but I probably wouldn't have been any more of a factor anyway. I think I did pretty good for only playing it once.

Elbowing Jimmy 17 times is 1,360 points. Killing him through other means is much more than that

Elbowing Jimmy is part of it. It's a risky way to fight him and only recommended for low score runs.

Also, punch enemies in the first three missions and get the elbow by the time you get to the caves in mission 3. Then use a lot of elbows. This should at least lower your score to under 40k. This is a good way to play even in a normal run.

Figure out ways to kill and make enemies disappear without scoring points. You can beat mission 2 without scoring any points at all.

I couldn't believe it when you came out of nowhere and bumped me down to 7th.

Haha, yeah sorry about that. I wasn't really updating my score cause I just kept messing up in the final room. By the time I posted, I could play the rest of the game in my sleep.

Congrats on getting 25k. That isn't easy. I could have kept trying to figure out ways to reduce my score by a few more thousand, but I couldn't take it anymore.
