Willow
14,450 Tickles

I know I can do a lot better too, I'm coming for ya monkeychops! (time permitting :p )

Edit: Alright!
Willow
18,800 Tickles


Edit 2:
20,300 Tickles
(and no, I haven't been playing it the WHOLE night!)

Edit 3:
Blown away! see below
 
Must've done. I don't think I'm missing a great mass of points anywhere. I could get a couple extra thou if I lose a life and reset the clock on the first level, but I'm aiming to get a whole lot more by surviving and beating the second level boss. That would probably get me to around 20k.
 
Haven't beat it yet, but I'm working on it :) The score should take a massive leap up once I do. I normally finish the first level with about 13,400 now (and both lives ;) ).
 
I'm definitely missing something then. Are you keeping both lives in the first level?

Do you start the first level with three health, two lives and 3:00 on the clock? Some of the vids I've seen on youtube seem have have different DIP settings to me and have five health to start with, which would improve the bonus you can get at the end of the level a lot.
 
Yes three health, two lives and I'm pretty sure 3:00 on the clock, but I'll double check next time I play. The key is speed: I don't collect any gold unless it happens to be in my way, and I the only chests I open are the ones after the bridge if I've taken damage (as you say, health is worth points).
 
Great tip, thanks! Quick couple of goes and:

Willow:
17600 - levi


Still room for improvement, but I know what to do now. Looks like we are all playing on the same DIPs.

3rd level boss!

And after losing my first life before the shop on level 2!
:D :D :D
 
Game: Super Aleste
Score: 601800
Score: 732440

I'm not very good at this. But my score has improved a lot in the last couple of days. This is good fun.

Edit: slightly better score.

Wow! The jumpy guys in the second level boss battle keep pwning me so far. I'm determined to beat them at some point this week though.

Looks like the competition is really hotting up - Willow's looking like the game to play for max kudos at the moment ;)

jeez tickles, you could have let me enjoy my lead for a day before you demolished it :D

guess revamping the nomination list will have to wait :p
 
I was curious, what is the best way to update a score. I've edited my first post, but that will easily be missed. Would it be better to go and strike it out, then make a new post? I think just striking it out would end up the same as just editing it, after the first on.

Also, great job everyone working on Willow.

I thought I saw something saying to ensure you bump the thread so Pickle can see updates, so I've been posting new comments with my new score, and editing the old post to cross out the old score - but going looking for it now I can't find that. Skeezix suggests in the FAQ just editing your one scoring post. Personally I like to make my live score bold (but I forgot to do that).

Pickle, any opinion on how you'd like us to do it?
Edit: And skeezix, since you're still scoremaster for this round.

Oh, and LGR - you still need to nominate which game you want your score to be counted for.
 
Super Aleste:
5,143,490 Mithander

I got to Area 10 with 9 lives, but died and could never get back in it.

I found that with Super Aleste. I lasted ages on the first life, but as soon as I died the other lives disappeared pretty rapidly.
