  • In 2014, I got a score of 137,130. I'll go for a modest goal of 140K this week.   I'm really thankful for a short game that I can play more than once!

    Too late I've already lost it
  • Updated my score on the first page. I was so close to no-deathing this game! Oh well, I've got some time to caatch up to the other big scorers, but this great run I just did puts me in the ballpark at least  

    (It's on page 1, sorry Stryphos :/)
  • The highest score I ever had for this game was 159,000. Now I can't even surpass 132k
  • Look at all these crazy ass scores. Maybe I should read an FAQ or something. How long is the game? If nothing else I'd like to mark it off my backloggery as well
  • 6 stages, the game takes around 4 minutes to complete.
  • Cool. In one lifetime attempt I made it to the part with the pistons that block you (wtf). So I was probably not far off.
  • I have a feeling this one is going to get really competitive. The game is so short and there are already so many good scores...
  • PLEASE everyone, if you have a score update, new picture or the like, just update ONE thread. Thank you!

    The bulk of your score comes from the bonuses after completing the game.

    As someone who hasn't played all 4 minutes to beat the game, I actually do appreciate this comment because the little I played made me wonder how in the world those scores were so high!  Good job on your continued practice, that score is really up there!

    The two big things are speed and not dying, and each death is - 1000. Deaths gets me every time, and I land at like 70k points. Gotta practice more! D;
  • I get stuck I n those stupid bumpers at the end of the Ariel race & keep falling off those Dam moving platforms at the very end

    I've gotten better at consistently reaching the final level but that jump at the beginning I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I go on the elevated platform and miss every time. If I can figure that out then I'll work on speed and not dying.

    The easiest method is to position yourself behind the platform with enough distance to gain momentum. Hold down+right and the A button to launch off it.

    I can't help but hold down the b button through the whole run. I've been conditioned. Its a safety net.
  • Where's the raccoon tail power up for the marble so I can float past all that bullshizz?
  • A and B do something?

    Sounds like a re-meme!
  • This whole "playing with marbles" ordeal doesn't befits a lady of virtue like me.  
  • I just can't seem to beat this game! Even with 60 seconds on the clock before the last race, I still can't do it.



    Edit: Fucking Finally!! I beat this game: 91,960







    I can't get the text size to work  .



    (I couldn't either- capt.)image
  • I was finally able to beat the game, but my score can't touch the experts around here.

    Congrats guts! It's always nice to beat a tough game for the first time.  



    Thanks. I had some really good runs in most of the races. I think I had 61 seconds to start the ultimate race. I got to the last part fairly quick but kept screwing up. I finally was able to muscle through it and cross the finish line with 3 seconds left. The score sucks,but hey I beat it at least!

     



    That last section of the ultimate race is really tough. I mostly got lucky on my run, but I'm satisfied with beating the game since there's no way I could hang with these 160k+ scores.

    A and B do something?



    Doesn't one of them speed up your ball?

    A makes you move faster, but I'm pretty sure B doesn't do anything.

    First time beating this game. 



  • I'm probably done. I doubt I'll get a better score. Either some stupid thing like the hammers ruin my run, or I just can't beat the last level fast enough when I get there with enough time. So frustrating.
