The deadline for posting scores is Midnight (EST) the evening of April 10, 2022 Bonus: The Buddy System is BACK! Do you have friends? I don’t. So, at the end of this week, you will be paired up with another player…. A Buddy. If you finish first this week… then you will be pair with whoever finishes last this week. You will not know who is ‘your Buddy’ until the final scores are posted and the final standings are done. Your points will be combined. (you + your Buddy) (example: you get first place with 35000 and the last place player score is 1000. Combined score is 36000) 2nd place player is paired with the next to last place player. Those scores combined. (example, you get second place with 34000 and the second to last place player gets 5000. Combined score is 39000) 3rd place is pair with 3rd to last and so on.

NOTE: There is a chance that you will not have a Buddy if there is an ODD number of players who submit scores this week. In this case, someone will not have a Buddy. This means you are the LONER. Cheer up! This is a GOOD THING And because of that you get +6 BONUS POINTS! Hurrah for you!

Skippy B. Coyote Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Huh, I've actually never heard of this one before! Given that it's an Apollo game though I feel like it's fairly safe to assume it's going to be terrible... hopefully still fun though. Terrible fun 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Actually, not terrible! I don't think Guardian is a game I'd play outside of the HSC, since it's a real hand cramper, but not a terrible game by any means. I hope the buttons on your paddles are in good shape for this one though Guardian (Game 1, B/B Difficulty): 67,475 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonhrb Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Another fun little game. Again, the whole "paddle game with a mouse" thing makes this one a bit more awkward than it would otherwise be, but I can certainly see the appeal with the right controllers. Not a classic by any means, but much better than I was expecting given the reputation of the publisher. Anyway, here's a score : 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariSphinx Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Guardian (1 B/B): 58,500 Never played this one before. Not a bad game but after playing Super Breakout this one leaves a lot to be desired. Good concept but choppy execution. Glad HSC introduces us games we never played before but I won't play this one after this round even though I love paddle games. I think the Birthday Mania paddle game from last season is better than this one.

I want turbo! There’s approximately 97 variations and none of them are turbooooo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
