guillavoie | 1,208 Events Team · Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Gotta throw a HUGE thanks at @CasualCart that provided us with a wonderful set of cartoons to work with. You're a pro man! The joke actually started from the first drawing of Korckle in the staff section. Cart did a Kickle alike mascot because I told him that Kickle was our (un)official mascot in the contest. I showed it to Jimbo, because well, that Korckle guy was great art, and the fact that 1st of April was literally the next day made us think of making a stunt out of it. Believe it or not, I got a hold of Cart by like 16h00 today, and an hour later he already crafted 4 additional Korckle cartoons! Crazy good stuff! Then Jimbo went on with his usual Kickle doodling that we all love. I personally thought the last one with Kickle kicking Korckle was absolutely hilarious, HAHA! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 It didn't help my score any, but I was able to finish the game finally. I only needed 3 continues, which isn't too bad since I haven't done it in 30+ years, although I'm pretty sure I beat it without continuing when I was a kid. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is approximately 1/1000th of the continues that I used when I beat the game. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured I wasn't going to make a lot of progress on my one life score, so I might as well just shoot for finishing the game. I'd like to have finished it without continues again, but some of those jumps are really tricky and took me a few tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,761 Administrator · Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'm not huge on the one life rule personally. It makes it relatively competitive at the high end, but doesn't really provide much fun for people new to a game or with generally less skill. I'd personally prefer that the people with the most skill in a game battle it out optimizing runs, and potentially even using their extra lives to maximize points by sacrificing lives to restart levels and see who can do that best. That way we see less weeks where there's two or three people with high scores, one or two middling scores, and a bunch of people who can't beat the first level of a game. As it stands, since a lot of people kinda specialize in one or two genres, each week with a 1 life rule is gonna be a case of "who can beat the game in a single life, gets the top score". Not a whole lot of necessary optimization beyond that; I feel like we're not pushing ourselves to really get into the core scoring mechanics to maximize.

I kept making stupid mistakes and losing a life early. Using all my lives, I made it about halfway through the game. That was more fun than hitting the reset button every couple minutes.

mbd39 | 2,017 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The hidden pots in this game are kind of BS. How would anyone find them without a guide? Sometimes it's obvious, but other times it's like some random snail or rock that you would avoid touching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I mean, nothing says you have to one life it during PRACTICE. We could easily play to one death, take a photo, then keep playing to practice higher levels. But it's not quiiiite the same.
