Wish it was Joust, would've killed it at that Oh well, I'll see what I can do within the next couple days. And I won't keep the fact that I'm participating a secret this time Love the art for this contest by the way, it looks really awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Score update. It should have been a lot higher, but I kept messing up the bonus rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koifish | 555 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) 29725 First time playing this port, I wish I had sooner as it is great fun. Update: 61400 Need some more practice with the delay that happens on some inputs. I'm noticing too that you can't always catch the mugs coming back if you rapidly switch lanes. Update 97200 Hopefully it is visible this time I think I finally understand how to get points effectively in this game. I would have broken 100k easily had I not gotten cocky. I expect tomorrow to bring bac a new higher score. Edited March 17, 2021 by koifish updated score to 97200 and added new photo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
