It's a remembered game, and certainly original, still actually. But it's just not a great game in a mainstream sense. Them's my thoughts at least.

I get too frustrated to keep trying.  Don't wanna get back to the days of throwing controllers across the room.

33,880

That's my final answer.

I'll never again have a game that good, I predict.  Got to level 10.  Don't think I can ever get past 10...I was lucky enough to get past 5...

I give up.

Me too.  I keep thinking I'll have one more shot, but it always ends with "but I was a good 5 pixels clear of that truck!" or "how could I be dead? I was standing safely on the end of that log for a good 1/2 second!"

And then I rage quit.

My unfavoritest & most common of deaths once I started getting "good" was jumping onto a log & dying.  Granted, it was kinda sorta towards the end of a log, but still, I thought I was on it!  Once time, my skull & crossbones animation even moved along with the log, so my frog had succeeded in making it onto the log & dying at the same time.

Boo.   :hissy:

Well, looks like nobody topped me, and jasonbar came in 2nd, so since I won last time,  he gets to pick the next game!

For some reason, I never even noticed your entry. I'd been competing with jasonbar this whole time!

Congrats to both of you.  :applaud:

I look forward to the next round...

Oh my!  You love me!  You *really* love me!!!  Where's the smiley who's smiling but crying & holding an Oscar???

Let me post my official 33,880 score screenshot, to be all official & stuff (even though my older screenshot still counts for 2nd).


Anyway, somebody please give me a little guidance here.  I now pick a game, say the contest ends on 4/20 at midnight, copy & paste the top part of this post, & go to town?

I have a game in mind already, but I want to test & browse tonight--is posting tonight OK?


Thanks!

All I did was copy and paste, then edited according to my comp's needs. If you need help, feel free to ask.
