The deadline for posting scores is Midnight (EST) the evening of Oct 23, 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 15000 and the last place player score is 200. Combined score is 15200)

2nd place player is paired with the next to last place player. Those scores combined.

(example, you get second place with 14000 and the second to last place player gets 500. Combined score is 14500)

3rd place is pair with 3rd to last and so on.

 

TOP paired scores get +5 Bonus for each player

2-5 Place Paired scores get +4 Bonus for each player

6-10 Place Paired scores get +3 Bonus for each player

11-15 Place Paired scores get +2 Bonus for each player

All other Place Paired scores get +1 Bonus for each player

 

The LONER Bonus!

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!

Huh, I had never played this one before but what a relaxing and pleasant little game! The controls felt really weird at first but made complete sense once I read the manual, and I like the game a lot! Nice graphics, good use of sound, and really mellow gameplay. Most of the time when I crashed it was because I was going after a gold nugget and ran into it instead of nabbing it with my pole, so I think as long as I don't go out of my way to get the nuggets I'll do pretty alright :lol:

Well, having played this for half an hour or so, I can only conclude that this game is included just after E.T to prove that E.T is not the worst game ever by showcasing one that is much worse 😂. Don't get me wrong, it's not terrible in the way that something like Spikes Peak or Dishaster (definitely the two low points of my time playing HSC imho) is terrible. This one functions properly, the control system is quite clever when you get used to it, and it's fairly playable in its own way. It just feels just a bit . . . .well . . . . dull. 

 

When I got my best score, my thought wasn't "great, lets see if I can do better next time", it was "I've had enough of this for now". I'll almost certainly come back for more before next week is out, as I will want to try and beat my score. But it's not one I can see myself playing again after that. 

 

Anyway, that's enough of my relative negativity on this one. Here's a score :

Raft rider - Rollage. Turns out that once you get the hang gettig the gold, and of pushing the joystic left to stop the vertical movement where you want to, this game is really easy. The "joystick left" move makes it easy enough to get past most things, and the realtively generous distribution of gold means that the next extra life is never too far away.

 

Once you work those two things out, you can basicaly play forever. You won't lose many lives, and the gold  means you'll gain them back just as quickly anyway. The other thing to remember is that only the raft hitting something will lose you a life. The top half of the man and the stick can boh touch objects with no ill effects

 

Overall, that's a couple of hours of my life that I'm not getting back. But on the upside, rolling it means I don't have to play it again 😂. And frankly I'm just glad of the small mercy of the score rolling ove at 100k. if it went to a million, I'd still be at it now, having started at 7am ish UK time (it's 7:45 pm now!) 😬

 

As an aside, I also tried this on "A A" difficulty, and it is a muh better game that way. The faster river and moving moose makes for an altogether more fun and challenging game (albeit probably not enough to make me play it again !)

 

Anyway, here's a (rolled over 😃) score :

Wow. That’s a lot of time...I’d say more than “a couple of hours” 😆 Congrats!

Sorry @fakecortex  I was probably a bit unclear. My rollage game was about an hour and three quarters . I meant that if the game went to a million, it would have taken me 12 hrs plus to roll it. . . . . . although if I'm honest, if that was what it would have taken I suspect I may have lost the will to live long before that point !

Oh whoops, yeah I totally misread that. Well, I’m glad you didn’t spend the entire day on it! Hahaha

I didn't know that! I'll have to remember that when I try again!

 

New score: 10,876

 

By the way, if I come off as moody at all, it's not you, it's me.  Girl issues, you know?
