bubufubu Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 34,240 Part 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu8NklB4_C8 Part 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANoKM5puL9c This run did not aim for points. It might be interesting to try and do that someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubufubu Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 62,520 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5rmn_ZaLM0 Freeplay score update. This was only a moderate attempt at a points run. I'm still lacking the motivation to go for a considerably higher score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
