HSC17 Round 2: DONKEY KONG

I think, cos the points thing on the girder screen exploits a bug and it's easy to score heavily without too much risk, we should ban it.

I tried it and I was easily able to get an extra 5k and 10k on level 1 and 3 respectively, and Deteacher demonstrated getting an additional 15k or so on level 4. That's a lot of points, which would kind of spoil the HSC record.

 

However if others are happy with it, no problem

I tend to agree although I can not imagine someone in the end wants to win this game/round by doing this. I personally do not care. I want to conquer as much as possible fields and I am less interested in the points. So I would say: leave it to the player.

 

As long people do not use freezer / save state I am fine.

So far I never made it higher than my last score. It is quite 'frustrating' (in a good way) ... Most of the time I already in screen #3 (that is when you get the barrels again). That is for me the moment to press START again. I do not want to die so soon, otherwise I will NEVER get to a higher score.

 

Do you guys recognize this, that you press START in this game before you lost all your lives?

I think the consensus is that we don't rack up the score on the girder levels.  So, I will not use that tactic for the HSC.  

 

Back to the ol' grind.  :)

OK bit late for a ruling but NO using the feature this time at least !

Thanks carlsson for cruching the numbers :thumbsup:

I do find myself restarting but it's a bad habbit, better to just stick with it - you know my one man theory but it might be man #4 that is the hero.

Yep I've been trying to improve my score. 230k I think is beyond me but I wanted to at least get to level 7 and a 200k score cos I've managed that before 

Yes I think somwhere on level 7 is the target for top players.

Oh I am SO proud. For the first time in YEARS I managed to reach 125m. 

 

111700 points.

 

Pfff. More luck than wisdom though. I managed to survive the extremely hard barrel screen. The rest of the screens is easier for me (well the bakery is harder too).

 

Good work M. I just had my session for today and had one good go at 151,500 which amusingly is 500 less than my best posted, level 5 freaks me out !!

 

p.s. don't eat those pies ;)
