Now you're just rubbing it in, Popsicle.

189,750

p.s. Thanks Jason!!  It's cool  :)

Woah - Good score!  I think the WR is only 230k or something isn't it?

I tried again last night and can get to 150k every 4 or 5 goes but from then I die almost immediately.  My normal tactic is to fire constantly in random directions but then focus when something catches my eye  but after 130k its basically luck that I hit most of the missiles. Might give it a go later again - I guess this is one of those games where a very tight throw joystick helps.

Updated scores again.   You only got a few hours left!

I really like this game and remember previously that I got into 150k range but wasn't able to during comp.  I bettered my previous score tonight with a 131,000.

Looks like you missed my post (#28) with my high of 136,250 ( not that it makes much difference but does move me up 2 spots !) - Meant to mention it earlier since it was before the last update but forgot !

Sorry JDFan!   I missed that one!

That post has 135,250, I assumed that is what you meant.   ;)

No problem -- It's easy to miss one now and then Esp. when it is in with other comments. and yeah 135,250 is correct.

Hi guys - I'll post a new game later - I've narrowed a list down to about 20 but I guess the main point is to pick something new / hi-score based / slightly obscure?

Can't be a repeat. But nothing says it needs to be obscure. Just most of the well known ones have already been picked at this point. Generally nice to also pick one that uses joystick to maximize how many people can play it.
