Armadillo Run forum

Several people ask me what the lead score is for the time being. My mouth is sealed. It is up to the highscore owner if he/she wants to heat up the competition by telling. But the owner of the highscore can not know who the HS-owner is either, hm? I can not be corrupted, unless... we can allways discuss $$$$$

Let me put it this way. It doesn't matter whether protest boy is bluffing about $2854.

For people that are wondering how very cheap solutions are possible, I recomend you look at the solutions to all of the past competitions. It will really help you learn some tricks to use.

It sure doesn't.

When I finally managed to get my 2840$ worth catcher working (hours of finetuning), it was mounted slightly too high!!

You know, you'd think I'd know those solutions, but I'm still flabbergasted by >2830 scores...

Well, except if they do that, but that would require an insane amount of tweaking.

I would love to see how these solutions are! I can't imagine getting it done with that high of a score!!!

Honestly, the $2830 solution was harder than the $2856 solution I've got now (there, I said it )

I suspect BFC has $2860-$2864. That one is HARD. I gave up.

(Edit, stupid mod powers, edited this into PeterT's post by mistake )

hm.. high scores people... 2864 looks impossible to top

oh wait a minute no it doesn't

or am i bluffing too hard now?

That's weird, I just tried something new and also got $2856 . The force will win though... never underestimate the power of the dark side.

the difference between my light and darkside is 8 small bucks, in favor of the... DARK SIDE..

I have several solutions potentially ending up over 2830, but It requires too much finetuning or luck.

Well, the score I have (that I really don't think will win) is only $2 better than the score I came up with about 10-15 minutes into this level.

I predict everyone in the top 3-5 scores will again have an almost identical looking contraption.

It's hard to avoid it really since we post scores it's enough info to realise what you at first "think" is a darn good solution really isn't and so everyone gravitates toward the same thing ultimately.

At least with these A type levels. If we didn't post our scores, I think we'd end up with a lot larger span of structures and scores from top to bottom.

Looking forward to tomorrows results thread

Yeah! I can't wait to see the winning solution! I can't get past 2300 with anything... And anything not using "the force" is way too expensive. I guess I have no imagination or patience.

Should we add a rule, not allowed to tell what score you have?
