M-Tee | 42 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 There it is. The owner of the 2nd Adv. original cover art for a reason. Did you need to play with the 2nd player active to reach it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you need to play with the 2nd player active to reach it? No, I didn't think that was allowed. I'll probably give that a try once the Action 53 vol. 4 comes out. I don't have a good 2 controller setup for my computer, so I'd rather wait to try it on the NES. I'm still playing though. I know I could get around 600 more points, but I doubt I'll be able to do it before the contest ends. I'm done. A higher score isn't happening tonight.

M-Tee | 42 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Red's score's a total beast. I got closer to bertsampson's when I played through with savestates. But I know some stages I took a long time to exit, and I didn't get too creative in grabbing gold in the bonus rooms. Love that y'all are enjoying/tolerating it enough to get that tight with it.

Scrobins | 1,725 Moderator · Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Is there an idea what a “perfect” score would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecmyers | 97 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Nice job, everyone! I tried to play it a little more on my DS this weekend, but I didn't have much time, and it was much harder than playing on a TV so I never managed to improve on my score. What a fun game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye | 1,596 Homebrew Team · Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Great job everyone! I'll update the standing and leader board shortly. This closes the regular season and the final season will be starting shortly. Announcement thread incoming soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We kept perfect score calculated for cg2 because we wanted it to be possible to nearly max out the score counter without breaking it. Since Lost is much shorter, there's no risk of that. So, we haven't. I suspect a 1-player run's max wouldn't be a whole lot higher than what Red's pulling in. (Almost surely under 300,000 I'm guessing.) I'd need to count the killable enemies and bonus room gold. Lost is a little more complicated. With cg2, the bonus rooms were designed so that a skilled player could collect all the gold alone (I think). In Lost, it's impossible because of the room and enemy layout. Congrats on the final scores to everyone, btw. Very impressive. Edited September 23, 2020 by M-Tee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played a bit more today and I'd guess it's slightly above 246,600. If I combined my best scores for every stage as if I did them in a single run, I believe that's what I would have gotten (I might be off by 50). That would be with all the possible gold and diamonds. The only way to improve it would be to finish the stages faster. There are a few stages that I think a better time might be possible, but I haven't been able to pull it off. Since each time unit remaining only gives 50 points, saving one or two time units in few stages won't increase the score dramatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-Tee | 42 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 That's good info to have. I assume you're also causing every perishable enemy to perish as well. Even when we calculate perfect score for planning purposes, it's really impossibly perfect scores as we calculate based on a completion time of zero seconds just to be safe.

Red | 437 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Ah, yes, I'm pretty sure I got all the possible points from enemies as well. I can even get an "extra" gold in the first bonus stage. If you're quick enough, you can grab the last falling piece of gold from the Player 2 side after collecting the last piece on the player one side. This would make the total possible gold 96. I didn't go for it in the score I submitted, so that's why there's only 95 gold there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
