3,449,070 - GDV 79 - Game crushed, driven before me and the lamentations of it's women were heard.
Again a low GDV, no idea why. I missed only three 50K bonus, and I stopped bothering with bombs around stage 7. It seems that if you enter a secret area before collecting all the bombs, you are no longer eligible for the 10K bonus.
I have no idea how Rdrunner got such high GDV nor how that impacts on the final score tally. I am not up to figure it out tonight either.
Ended with a very low GDV as I didn't focus too much on getting the 10K bomb bonus from every section nor too much in getting the 50K bonus at the end area. Instead I focused in surviving and gathering all that was needed for the best ending.
I will try to improve this Sunday. I suspect that a GDV over 80 or 90 might incur into extra tally bonuses at the end of the game, which would explain RDRunner's massive score.
Wow! Haven't had much time this week, but I come back to being able to "choose your enemy", GDV and scores in the millions. This game is really easy yet very complex. Don't know if I'll have enough time to get in a proper score. I thought my initial screwing around score of around 500k was good enough.
I have noticed that it goes up as you get the 10K bonus from picking the bombs in a section in the proper area and by getting the end room lit bomb bonus. 23 lit bombs increases it the most, it seems.
I didn't get too many of either of those, so my final GDV was below 80.
A high GDV seems to add points quickly at the end of the game if it is past a certain threshold, one that I haven't hit. But I intend to figure out that threshold this Sunday.

What's GDV?
500k is good enough. You don't need a higher score than that.
Here's what GDV is according to the strategywiki:
"Game Deviation Value (GDV)This is a grade that you receive upon completing the game that evaluates your performance. While it is intended to be out of 100%, the lowest you can score is 47%, and the highest is 99%. Your GDV is determined by your score, how many S coins you find, and how many stages you clear. The more thorough you are in the game's completion, the higher your GDV will be."
It is definitely not only game completion, as I have beaten all the stage sans 8 and 9, that have to be missed in order to get the first crystal ball, and gotten both crystal balls and didn't miss a single S coin.

Yet my final GDV was only 79.
It says that GDV is also determined by score. You said that you missed out on some bonuses so your score could have been higher.
Well, I will put my debugging skills to use this Sunday and figure out how it is actually calculated by the game. Then I will update Strategy wiki with that info.
I broke the million mark, finally... using the very difficult point racking strategy that I worked out. Still only puts me in 4th place for the time being.
I am going to give this game one last spin tomorrow to try to break the 3 millions mark then I will try to debug it to figure out how that GDV is calculated.
This game is fairly fun and easy, even if the inputs still feel a bit weird.
Well Ive got maybe 12 hours by the time I wake up to try and score a million. What are my odds?
edit:
played for for about an hour. What's with this guy? I like the lil dude but what's he filled with damn helium for goodness sake?! What's he floating for jumping into the damn ceiling! Lil jumping bean won't stay on the ground. Fuck this game and fuck an avs! Better give me a front loader asshole. All this fancy graphics and what not making me dizzy. Lol!! Hahaaaa!!!
Damn treasure chest open, don't open, open on one side, open when you jump on em. Gtfoh. How the hell am I suppose to keep track if I'm green or blue or purple.
Ill try again tmrw. Piss ass game. Looks good on my ole trusty Vizio though. Plays nice to on my fancy new gizmo machine Nintendo

I'm guessing I missed something. Got to this room, found the sphinx, which opened the door to my right, but couldn't find any other way out of the room. Also got the S coin here, but I think I only got three total. Oh well...

What level did you get to? Where the heck did all those points come from?
I got my score fairly early in the game, but I had to burn lives and point rack like crazy to get it.
I don't know what level I was on. 23 maybe? I went through and got every damn balloon, every chest (until near my end because I got tired of getting them all), I got every 50,000 point bonus. This took forever over 4 days of playing a little at a time. I saw a few S coins, but was only able to get two or three because you have to be green. I didn't feel like looking at a guide, so I guess I'm done with this one.
Edit: Oh, and apparently there are crystal balls or something that I didn't see at all.

The S coins must be important for GDV. I got a lot of them (you can grab them again after you lose a life) so my GDV wound up being higher than yours, even though I only reached level 7 or 8.
You would probably need a guide or be very lucky to find the first crystal ball since it requires jumping on fire in level 7 to get the sphinx and the hidden room. http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Mighty_Bomb_Jack/Stage_7
Gotta love it when a game requires that you touch something that would ordinarily kill you.
Bert's score shouldn't be too surprising. The gameplay involves grabbing items while evading enemies and that is right up his alley. He got 274k at NES Pac-Man.

The greed mechanic. This ends 80% of my runs. I need a spotter.
How easily you can re-exit the secret areas. Seriously.
Two think i don't care for in the game:

LOL. I've been screwed too many times because I forget to move away from a ceiling secret area entrance.
Such a strange game. Participation-only for me this week.

You're enjoying it? Not with a score like that you aren't! Your mom enjoys it more than you do these days dingleberry!

That is a very impressive score.
The game only has 17 levels, so you must be confusing sections with levels.
That is a very impressive score.
Seriously?! I swear I played forever. Do you know what I missed Bea? Do you have to get S coins or the crystals to get past the room I was in?
