Man, if only I hadn't got hit by that stupid blast from the 3rd boss. I usually never get hit by it. Oh well.

Ugh, Not Sure and Fernin are god damn evil.

Yeah, this is difficult and not fun.

A question for Fern and Not Sure. The challenge is to beat as many levels as possible, but does each set of levels have to be beat in the same run/video? If I'm having trouble consistently beating, say, the third leg of a four-leveled group (meaning I'm forced to replay the first two over and over and over and over again), can I send in a separate videos? Or do you want, at most, three videos--one for each group of levels?

I hope the question makes sense.

Do we have to collect anything in a stage or can we simply get the key and reach the door?

You can just get the key and get out, most of the items are just points, anyway. As for Klim's question, I'm pretty sure the robot wants at most 3 videos, but we'll wait and see what he says. Oh, and since he didn't specifically outlaw it, feel free to use any magic fireballs you may happen to find. Smile

Send your best number cleared for each set. So, for example, you might clear all in the first, 2 in the second, and none in the third. You'd send in the 2 videos where you cleared at least some stages and you'd get credit for clearing 6 total. Fireballs are allowed if you find any.

Thank you for the answers, good sirs.

Meh sent my runs. I could have done better.

My entry is in. It won't win, but hopefully it'll place.

Judging from the past weeks I think every run sent will place Confused

Indeed, we've gotten 4 runs so far, with a 5th promised to us later on. Anyone who wants a decent amount of points, submit now, send anything! You're guaranteed a position in the top 10. Very Happy

First time I sent a run on all 10 weeks of a challenge! Go me. Razz

Same here! It feels good to commit to something and finish it out.

I couldn't get a run submitted. My laptop at home has health problems and I couldn't bring myself to go all the way to the office to work on it. Oh well. I wouldn't have scored well anyway, but I do wish I could have submitted something.

Hell Yeah!! Those extra 3 hours to cut off about 10000 life points were worth it Very Happy

I could have been faster in levels 30 and 49 by not forgetting the way, but doing that BS jump in 47 on the first try made up for it.

Good lord, 13 levels? You guys are sadists.

I could have gotten 9 total, but ran out of time and ran out of interest.
