Finally!

That's a very good point. When you feel you have been killed unjustly, the temptation is stronger for "just one more go...", whereas when you feel you've reached your skill limit... not so much ;) I still think it's a shame they came out of the hat together. Now I have to try and beat my score :oops:

I think you guys may have enjoyed this more if you hadn't just had 2 weeks of Frenzy.

It's a shame

Having said that I'm stuck in a rut and can't seem to improve my score from yesterday.

This is why I never join video game championships.

Fill small areas quickly and large areas slowly.
Also a "split bonus" achieved slowly gives you 1000 points instead of 100...

You get extra lives every 10,000

Getting the hang of it now...

First couple of goes

I almost said to you if this comes out the hat choose again, because it's so similar to Frenzy.

Oh well.

I happened to record a video if you'd like to see my technique: https://youtu.be/OAg9Vh6vnlg

That's exactly how I play
Just not quite as well.

319994

Second go...

Will try and play more

Not being able to restart from the start after you die is just dumb. :/

Anyway, here's a score.

Yes! Completed it!

EDIT: Now to work out how to improve score...

Ok, getting there...

People are completing it first go!?!?! I can't even get off the first stage

This is a beautiful game and I love puzzle solving games like this but I just haven't got the time to play it at the moment, sorry!!

I will remember it and one day work my way through all the levels though. It's totally my sort of game

That was a-maze-ing

Very cleverly done.

This is insanely hard, and pretty unforgiving as there's no "undo" move. But I guess once you've learned the levels.......

I got to level 2...

3148.

This is like an entire game made out of my least favourite level of Manic Miner (Wacky Amoebatrons)

Minor improvement - 2502

2213.

I confess, the annoying centipede segment deaths are a bug, but at least the spider is better now. I will try and work out why it is happening and fix it. Oh I thought that was by design.. I quickly learned NOT to try and shoot them if I was one space to the left of a mushroom on the level above......

Haha yeah got to level4, saw the scorpion

... but didn't have time to appreciate it as they were on me in no time, lol.

Still, new (legit) high score.. 29236

The game never ends, but I did make the spawning of the extra segments speed up, I'll have to check whether it speeds up per level or per spawned segment. Completing levels should be the best way to score points, but does have the drawback of more rouge heads, up to 7, then they go back to 0.The sc...

Are you guys trying to complete levels by completely killing the centipedes?

Is there any benefit to doing that? Does the game ever end?

45961... Not sure this counts as point-whoring though. What happened was the bits of the centipede were trapped in a loop down the left-hand bottom corner, and I knew that if I hung around near the right-hand side, the spider would keep appearing on that side, so I just had to keep picking it off. T...

19344!!

Wow. fluke score! (for me)
16526.

I'm terrible at this.
10757

4900.
The third time around the colours are back to as they were the first time around. It doesn't appear to be any harder.

Just eventually my concentration went and I lost 5 lives cheaply in the same place.

Really really painful game to play!!

Marginal improvement - 3945
