carlsson Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Wow! That is amazing. Perhaps there is more than one way to skin a cat after all. And by that I don't mean Alley Cat. Edit: Ok, at least I increased my score on ML to 122527 pts which is less than 5000 pts from my personal best.

Deteacher Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Big improvement on Alley Cat: 65,371! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Smaller improvement on Alley Cat 13-1817 had some quick smooches but lost 3 lives in rapid succession from the window objects on Alley Cat level. By the way sometimes you can complete the dog bowl screen even though the dog gets you on the last bowl! Didn't see if it took a life but I guess not as it gave the bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think I'm done with Alley Cat. Great game, but I think I've maxed out what I'm going to be able to do: 139,539! Got to level 4 and it's just too fast for my old reflexes. LOL! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Improved on Alley Cat to 16-8681 mainly down to some quick present deliveries with big multipliers, think I've still not completed Alley Cat.

+therealbountybob Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 No improvements from me (I did reach Alley Cat with 4 lives left but a lower score so really try and get the end of level bonuses quickly) As a few of you have spotted the Round 16 Poll is now OPEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Improve on Llamas to 174,258 around level 11, it starts to overwhelm the system but I think I can do a few more levels! Alley Cat no improvement "fun but hard" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) I'll accept being defeated, but at least I increased my personal best. Edit: On the second game, I had such a flow and lost the first life at 116K. Unfortunately I got sloppy and just reached 145K in total.

youxia Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Alas! Alley Cat: 014-3922 (or 007-7717) Meta Llama: 29450 Disclaimer: I've redefined the control scheme in AC replacing UP (on my gamepad's stick) with one of the buttons. Not sure if this counts as a "tampering", if yes then disregard my first score and use the one in brackets. So I was trapped in the Arcade HSC for half of this round, completely addicted to Time Pilot. But also put off a bit by AC's diffculty curve. My word...I can't think of any other game which I would equally love/hate. It's cute, innovative & hilarious but also controller-hurlingly infuriating. I still don't quite understand how jumping works.... The present delivery stages drove me to despair, only managed to complete the three by some sheer luck alignment. I once failed despite having FIVE presents to drop for other cats. Madness After the 3rd present stage the things go just way too wild for me so I don't think I can improve that score. You guys operate on some different Mhz frequency to manage these scores, especially the 300K Still, glad I finally played the AC properly...great stuff. If the jumping wasn't so wildly unpredictable it'd be even better. Also, what's that minigame where you have to sip milk from bowls all about? Couldn't figure it out. LLamas are an interesting curio, but somehow I can't wrap my mind around this to compete with the top scores here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLamas are an interesting curio, but somehow I can't wrap my mind around this to compete with the top scores here. Control tweak is fine you need to use the diagonals a lot in this game to get anywhere, in fact on most screens it's nearly all diagonals Llamas - my method keep the bar up, keep firing, break webs, take out spiders on way down by walking towards their path in stages, if they land "poop on them shuffle". Carlsson has keep the bar down method! Alley Cat - Dog Bowls, just keep fire held, cat will go to nearst bowl on line you are on and drink. Presents, get one go to right wait for cats to come over, leggit left and big jump up, try and get up straight away if, otherwise drop present on a long row of hearts somewhere in the middle and try and get there again. You can often jump from 2 rows below the gf to reach her. McKong probably has more beans to spill on this game This round and the Round 16 POLL close 10am UK time tomorrow (Sunday) 5pm EST 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youxia Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Probably not important, looking at the table, but I dragged up my LLama score to 45980... Every now I then I think I "get" it, and then lose 3 lives pronto in the next level 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Congratulations to Top Cat McKong for another impressive score on the classic Alley Cat which really holds up well for playability. The bonus game Metagalactic Llamas was a purrfect companion and made this a good round. I just held off carlsson for the win The game despite it's simplicity does have a good skill factor in trying to move towards the spiders as they fall, level speeds ramp up nicely too. Really needs a pause key, the gap between levels is hardly time to slurp my tea, let alone nibble a biscuit (if you're reading this Heaven Select just seemed to make a strange noise so I think this is a quick one) Thanks for playing everyone, now let's see what we can do with the next round final tables Alley Cat 1st McKong 064-2052 14pts* (#7) 2nd therealbountybob 016-8681 11pts 3rd Sikor 016-0561 10pts 4th youxia 014-3922 9pts 5th Deteacher 013-9539 8pts 6th carlsson 003-0476 7pts 7th jblenkle 001-9458 6pts 8th slx 001-4522 5pts 9th RedThunder 000-6642 4ptsbonus points: *beat HSC record (#) highest number of completions/kisses Metagalactic Llamas: Battle at the edge of Time 1st therealbountybob 174,258 8pts 2nd carlsson 145,343 7pts 3rd McKong 66,793 6pts 4th youxia 45,980 5pts 5th Sikor 23,981 4pts 6th slx 18,412 3pts 7th Deteacher 17,475 2pts 8th RedThunder 6,527 1pt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
