I think I've figured enough out to get a middle of the road score, but I have no idea how players are getting those 90k+ scores. I'd feel accomplished if I can break 70k.

First try and didn’t get past the first stage, but I’ll try to find time for this tonight for a better score.

Score: 14,570

get the hearts, notes, letters while spinach-powered for x2 points. Worth more the higher up you catch them. drop the bucket on Brutus on the bottom level. Burn through all all your extra lives, because spinach and bucket resets.

Definitely burn your lives, but do so on the last level and grind birds.

Lol what game is that?

According to legend it's the circuit board of the only known prototype for an unreleased, never-before-seen Mario/Zelda hybrid game of such great quality the execs at Nintendo determined it could never be released or their customer base would all die of ecstatic chronic happiness.  Can you believe that bastard of a boar snuck into my home and tried to steal it?  So I sicced the Abobo Bros. on him and they WRASTLED him into submission!

In actuality I strongly suspect that it is a copy of "Fester's Quest" that will 100% guaranteed NEVER work EVER again.  And so it became a permanent display piece.

I'm trying to figure this out as I go, but it seems like farming the vulture is key.

Ideation and implementation are two different birds, alas.

I actually don’t remember. I think it is the birds though.

I should have had a score in the mid 70k range on my last run, but I lost a life on the second screen. Luckily, it's only Monday.

Yeah Blutus sniped me on my last life on level 3 of a run that was easily a 70k. Jerk.

It's probably going to take 90k+ to make the top 3 this week. I don't know if I have that in me. I'd probably be satisfied with something over 75k+.

Yeah I won't be making top 3 in this for sure, and fat chance on the next game. Participation, maaaaaybe touching into top 5 depending on participation.

I'm surprisingly decent at 1943, but I don't know if my old thumbs will hold up to get a really solid score in.

@PII @Murray

You fellers are welcome for the prizes. PII looks like you have quite the collection. 

I've got a few more prize packages planned for this year which will include a sign of some sort in each of them. Maybe a cart or two. Also planning a big grand prize for the champion and for first place overall.

Don't you know about the bird? Well, everyone knows that the bird is the word!

I really thought I'd be able to go the rest of my life without happening upon the opportunity to see any of that ever again.

How on Earth does Gloves have only a fat chance on a Shooter?
