a3quit4s | 4,372 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Ok so last week I gave up the 8bitdo wireless pad that came with my NT noir and switched back to my hardwired Sansui sss because the lag finally got to be too much for me. long story short I’ll still be struggling for participation scores 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for a guide on this one, I like shooters, will play it plenty this week. How will you find all the hidden areas without a guide ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my dream you had 1.9m points. I'm not sure what's actually possible in a single loop, so we'll see where it lands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,104 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I'm already happy to have a score over a million. Maybe I can beat this deathless, I dunno. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,104 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) Here's the 2016 thread and scores. It looks like around 2,200,000 is about right for a single loop if you're good. Skinny got first place by burning lives which is impossible this week. https://archive.nes.science/nintendoage-forums/nintendoage.com/forum/messageviewf73f.html?catid=31&threadid=165073 Edited April 17, 2023 by mbd39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docile tapeworm | 4,272 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 That what’s tough about broken games with point press areas. It might come down to who was a little sloppy = got more points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it will make much difference in my leaderboard spot, if any. I expect the top two scores to be over two million and then a big drop off. But it would be a cool accomplishment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level 2 boss shouldn't have any accidental point pressing at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can beat the game and loop once, you want the lowest score possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol nah low score for shooters is just not fun to play. the only thing I could think of is a rule stating “you can’t press more than x points out of this area”.

One option is to just allow point pressing and set a max score and disqualify anything above that, like we did for Gyruss. But then it's progress/high score so that weak players can't point press their way to first place. Edited April 17, 2023 by mbd39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 5,230 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I wasn't intending to push the discussion further in this direction. I was joking about separating those of us who can't hang from those of you who can. Lol. But if this game is too broken and you guys don't trust each other on being sloppy in your game play intentionally, well then by all means...

I don’t think anyone is going to be intentionally sloppy but it could happen accidentally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
