My advice? Don't try to post a score 30 min before the deadline. 
 

Fairly accurate

But participating would mean playing Yoshi.  
I am not willing to sacrifice that much.  

 

You wouldn't want the prize anyway

Well, of course.
I was already graced with one of your drawings. It is only fair that someone else has the honour to this time!
 

No one better post a lower participation score than me either!

Working on the game now. Literally the first time I've ever played and I'm no good at puzzles, so I expect to hit participation or so and then stop (or fail before even that lol).

Score: 2050
Eggs: 17

Score updated again. I think I'm done for the day.

Killer score Red. I'm obviously not on yours and arnpoly's level. What an excellent game though. Would definitely be a contender for me for my favorite NES game

Damn you gloves! Play more, get a higher score. You can't beat me out for last place!

*plays again, gets 2000 points*

I love when I have two full stacks, tiles are quickly coming down, it won't give me a top eggshell and then I lose. Seriously, eff this game.

It's all about managing your board properly so you dont get in that situation in the first place.  Having two full stacks is generally a very risky thing to do
 

Having even one full stack is a risky thing to do. I routinely lose because I'll have even one full stack and can't get out of the way of a tile in time.

 

That's true.  But you can't score well without full stacks, so that's the risk reward trade off that anchors the game.  There are ways to carry a full stack on your board while still being able to receive more monsters, but it gets more tricky, because you have to institute rules for yourself on how to clear the unwanted riff raff off your board BEFORE you get in a bind, not after.

Think I gotcha beat there buddy! Honestly I can't bring myself to play this hot mess of a game again.  
 

I really wanted to post an even 2,000 point score, in SuperJimtendo's honor... but I don't have the energy in me to play again lol. Here's my one attempt. You're welcome.

7,130
74 eggs

Nice score, Red. I probably could have beaten that, but I've been done since Tuesday.  

I could beat that score, but then I'd wake up.
 

Looks like a Red win ties him with arnpoly. And they'll both by just one behind doug

3030

Better late than never I guess

I decided instead of just giving away the little bit of mystery art for this I'm going to put together a mystery prize pack. I don't even know what's going to be in it yet!

Once the final scores get updated I'll do a random number drawing and get in contact with the winner, who will be getting a special visit from kickle?

I hope that Kickle leaves the poor humanoids from Defender II alone. They have enough problems.
