Bump n' Jump -- 344,730

 

Still haven't beaten it.  Not crashing cars for those point bonuses is a very odd way to learn to play.  ?  Feels like it should be called "Don't Bump Just Jump"

 

I find myself having road rage when some moron wrecks on his own.  I'm yelling like "you just cost me 50,000 points, ya wanker!"

Wow, that's a great score.  My personal PB is 415k reaching level 16. It was a high score run soon after beating the game for the first time so it was all fresh in my mind.

 

How far did you get?

That run was level 15.  I've made it pretty deep into level 16 on other runs, but with lower scores.

 

I'll probably keep plugging away at it until I finish the game.  Figure it'd be easier now that trying to start over again months later.

Funny story about Bump n Jump. There was a Twitch streamer who beat games from a queue that people either donated or redeemed through channel points. After saving enough channel points my pick was BnJ. It took him around 18 days and he hated it so much because of no continues and having to start over. He said it was the worst game he ever played (although now he says the worst was Road Rash for Genesis which does look like a grind).

 

Trying to beat this game definitely isn't for everyone even though I love it and beat it several times.

Palamades -- 41,300

 

 

Guess I need to go read up on some strategies for this one.  Manual says 50,000 bonus for not getting a hand, which seems like a single round is better than my entire score.  ?

Yeah, just clear all the dice without making any combos and get a 50k bonus. There are 20 levels and the best I've done is 17 perfects.

Same here Razzie, same here. 

I have a feeling you might find this as amusing as I do ---  on Kung Fu, when you get to the 3rd floor boss, don't fight him with kicks.  Try to beat him by getting close, duck, and start punching.   Not the best strategy, I'm sure, but there's something amazing at watching your character take a big boss down by punching his wiener to death

 

If you do it one punch at a time, you can yell "bag tag" or "peeder punch" each time you press the button, and it'll feel like you're pulling special moves ala Street Fighter.

Kung-Fu - 107,600 Game B Floor 1

1C612B1D-E6F5-44E4-910F-9C754FAE371C.thumb.jpeg.98e33f4847237af73f128ad7cfd57d01.jpeg

 

My pb the other season was 149k on floor 3, but I’m happy to break 100k here. With point pressing allowed, I tried something new bc I was not getting into a good groove. I stayed on the first floor and exploited the 5k bonus for jump kicking every 12th grappler. Still a lot of fun, even without progressing. Could be a cool challenge.
