Title: High Score Competition #198: '88 Games
Post by: acvieluf on August 22, 2016, 01:41:53 pm
So, does anyone have any scores they have been waiting to post?  I propose we offer a few days to post them before we take them as official, and keep going?

I have one that i'll post shortly. In the 36k range i think, so easily top-able i presume.

This is *still* high score competition #198  ;D

I suggest waiting till sunday, so that the next compo will last two full weeks.

Oh. Whoops. Here I was thinking that this past Sunday was the finish. My mistake. I'll correct it.

Nope, you are right. This past Sunday was the finish, I just thought that if we wait a day or two to close this, then probably another day until the next challenge is started, the next challenge will only last one and a half weeks.

True.  Then i suppose the question to ask is whats more important: Keeping the competitions on "schedule" for the year, or Keeping it at two weeks?  But two weeks makes way more sense.

So let's call it decided then.

Last day of this challenge : Sunday, August 28 2016 midnight Pacific.

Run as fast as you can, the optimum angle would be 45 degrees. Also, you have to yodel at the top of your lungs.

Oh, sorry for not mentioning it.

When you reach the line, hold the center button,and the angle will climb.

nope, that goes to third place, as to not have someone always winning and then choosing other games they may be great at.  Yamatetsu is up for the choosing.
