Weekly High Score Challenge #8

857!!!
It was a disappointing death too - I thought I’d given myself space but that chaser is speedy!

waldron

491 will have another go tomorrow, top game!

pianofire

I think I have found a minor bug. If you play a second game without restarting I don't think that the difficulty is reset. Just make sure to restart between games. Only 318 so far!

pianofire

959!

pianofire

Not sure I should count this one as I found an exploitable bug

Martin

577 as a first go. Not sure I'm going to get much higher - it was getting pretty frantic and I was struggling with the joy con a bit. Might crack out the pro controller later, maybe that will help

DaddyJDM

442 for my entry! This is a fun game, good job!

I downloaded the latest version today, but unfortunately it kept showing the debug text on screen during gameplay. Because I was streaming, I took the liberty to edit line 81 form debug = false to debug = true (as is shown on stream).

I hope that didn't influence my chances on getting a better score, so if that's the case, my entry should be disqualified, otherwise, this is my entry:

Yep, should have removed that oops. but press X and it will toggle off, sorry.

Thanks @SteveZX81 for visiting the follow-up stream, eventually I managed to get 2605: https://clips.twitch.tv/ClumsyFragileJuicePhilosoraptor
This time I didn't need to edit the source code, now I knew I could just press X during the gameplay :)

@PB____ Just had another go and managed to nudge my score up a few hundred, sure you can beat it though.

I request postponing the deadline to CEST 0000h Monday because of the game jam work, busy weekend ;-)

Martin

Not a bad idea - I completely forgot to go back to it

vinicity

We are not on CEST anymore! But I will give you all until midnight CET.

spikey

CEST 🤭 I only look at the moon anyway, and it says its a good time to play one more round Frutopia.
A splendid game, something I am still struggling with: getting that arcade action into my games. @SteveZX81: its great fun to play. Well, my score 307, ok, but look at the guts I had:

Martin

So, marginally better, but not much! That's me done. Thanks for the extra time. (995, not 322 - I missed the screenshot and had to play again to get it)

ohh no, PB you let me down, I hoped you'd beat me. Thanks to vinicity for doing this, I look forward to the next game.

Congratulations on the win Steve, that's an impressive score 😮
Unfortunately I didn't really have the time yesterday to beat it, I had to watch Dave's game jam stream of course.
