How do I add a picture to these posts?
I'm pretty pleased with this new score. I made it to the 4th wizard that everyone has problems with due to his random ass attacks. High Score - 562670
At least I got 2nd place (so far) at 92890

Good video, hopefully I can have some better luck with that fourth level. After about the third time through those stupid moths get too fast and usually end up killing me or taking almost all of my energy before I get to the boss (who seems to give me a lot of trouble as well).

has anyone told you that you sound like Charlie Sheen a little? That might explain all the "winning".
Lol. Can you believe that's the second time I've been asked that question since last night?

Yup, the fourth level is the killer. If the moths don't get you, the magician boss usually does. There are ways to beat him, but he's so random that it's mostly luck.

My best approach is to try to get far enough to the right of the screen so that he appears right in front of me and hope he throws a fireball over my head so I can get a few easy shots in. Usually if that works I can move right a little further and repeat the process without getting hit, but like you said it's mostly luck. It was interesting that you get a bonus for killing every 12th enemy (if it's the common type) with a jump kick. I didn't know you could actually kill the dragons on level 2 either. I always just ducked the fire and waited for them to disappear. Hopefully I can finally get past three loops now, but I doubt I'm going to come anywhere near 3.1 million points so your record should be safe!

And Tom, you really need to do a playthrough of Platoon while impersonating Charlie Sheen.

I've always hated this game, mainly because it's one of those games I was always worse at than anyone else I knew..

So Tom, will I find you in a Turkish bathhouse?
Well at least we know the reason that Mr. X regains his health is because he has tiger blood and Adonis DNA!

Lol! Negative on the Turkish bath houses though.
Here's your challenge for the week: Break a million! It can be done in less than 4 loops. Just go for those "12th man" jump kick bonuses and run the clock down every time (except on Magician stages).

I was about to make up a rule with Bimmy about rolled scores. Taking a pic just before and after the score rolls sounds legit to me. Repeat process if necessary.

Rolling the score will be fine. I agree with guillavoie on the stipulations.

That's it for me this week - fun game. Never really tried it at length before. I really dislike the 4th level boss, if it weren't for him I might have more energy to keep playing. (previous score was 200,720)
Here's my score for this week.
I wish I could break the million within the week, but that's the best I could afford myself. Still not bad.
Now let's play some Golf!
Hope no one scoops in with a higher score right at the last minute (crosses fingers)

Happy Golfing!
