2938m is my best score by a long shot. Most other runs ended at ~1500m.

Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2009 7:09 pmIn lieu of the game's keeping track of maximum speed, I have decided to play as though each item I trip over costs me 500m. Because going fast is hard, and therefore fun.
edit: With these new, fun rules, my high score so far is 2622m.

Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2009 7:53 pmTripping over items seems to be useful though, since there is a speed at which jumping into close windows becomes very difficult.

Excuses. Always excuses.

I'm wondering what exactly those things that fall out of the sky are. Explosives of some sort, no doubt, but you barely have time to look at them before you jump over them/reduce yourself to a pixelated mist.

Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 10:49 amOf <i>course</i> tripping over things is useful. But it's not necessary. Making them a distance tradeoff puts skill back into the game, rather than mere patience and persistence. I refuse to play this game like it's an MMORPG.

Captured just as the rounded tip hit the ground, and not before. Some kind of bomb, it would seem. Which, you know. Falling from the sky. Makes sense.
Also, what the hell, the forums don't seem to want to accept my HTML anymore. Again.
