    How long was that run to level 45?



    Also, I had an update to my score.

    Yeah.  I figured I got three of them this year, might as well go for one more.

    I'd guess it took close to 4 hours over a 8 hour period.  I started this morning before the kid got up.  After getting the kid off to school and dinking around with a few other things, I played the rest.

    You're probably safe from me giving it another shot this week. You beat me by 5 levels and I really don't have it in me to put together another 4 hour run just for a chance at retaking the lead.



     
  • Updated score.
  • Well damn, I'm sitting here paused with around 25k, thinking 27k was still the high score. Boy am I behind. Not sure I want to put 3 more hours into this, I might just take my current score as participation, lol.

    I don't know how but I got stuck here. There are three warps but they just send me to the same places over and over. I can't seem to get into a new room. It's not a key issue. Any thoughts?



    There must be a fake wall somewhere.  Not all walls that will disapear look different.  If you just stand there for a minute or two, I'm sure you'll figure it out...
  • Score updated. A modest update, but enough to jump me a few spots It looks like skinnygrinny is closing the 3rd place gap a bit. Let's get it going, guys!

    Lol. I can't figure it out. Ran out of time on the same map again. I shot every piece of wall. Like in doom when you just go around the walls hitting the space bar. "Ugh". 



    Is there a power up I might need or some kind of power attack. I even looked online at the map layout and I still couldn't figure it out. I know I'm going to be really embarrassed when/if I figure this out. 
  • Here's mine

    Nope, no power ups that I know of.  There's no real trick, it's just a simple trick!

    Fair enough . Thank you Bert  
  • Another update. I wasn't playing too well towards the end of that run. Could have more calmly focused on food, but got caught up in grabbing points as death loomed. This might be my last submission, even 23k points take a chunk of time.

    I'm wondering if anyone else will max out the score. That second one still took me almost four hours even though I did it in 12 fewer levels.

    I'll give it another shot

    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.
