Topic, Level "Try or Die", game "Rolling Turtle"

  Congratulations! 86 is definitely an insane score to achieve, and thoroughly deserved, my great untied is now gone again - so I've possibly gotta find another level to pursue.

However, I might be overthinking it but it sounds like your trick isn't mine to get 86. The first jump for mine is fairly guaranteed, the second is highly annoying but it sounds like yours is doubly annoying. I wonder if both of us should at least look for 87 - or whether we should let this 86 tie lay to rest for the time being! 88 (or in this case now 89) is probably even more insane than either of our 86 tricks - if they are indeed different.

  2 hours on and off, 100s of attempts, and 3 more frustrating left side arrow landings later, the godly 86 is mine. :'D

That honestly felt like the final boss of high score hunting. An insanely difficult feat for such a small and basic level. Hats off CG for finding this one and being the first to pull it off. The second part of the trick was by far the most annoying for me, until I found a timing which weirdly seemed to start working out for me. One annoying and inconsistent jump followed by another is always a recipe for maximum pain.

I don't see any way for an 88, but I would love to be proved wrong if you're up for it! xD

  I think I found your magic trick CG but it seems so inconsistent, I barely pulled it off in practise. Watch this space. ;)

Edit: So of course I eventually managed it but landed on the left side of the arrow... :/

As for most dominant, I'd argue trying to optimise theoretical scores takes a next level mindset, because you have to continually push yourself with no true goal to work towards. At least when I've maxed something I can move on, but you just keep stepping it up a literal gear. xD

  Thanks! This one took me a very long time and it's probably my proudest highscore on this game. 84 was an untied I kinda forgot about, and I kick myself for letting Dynamo achieve the first 85. As I had concluded 85 was perfect with the tricks I knew at the time, I can only think I had enough after losing so many promising runs after barely clutching an untied that I left it indefinitely. I take pride in getting the 86 because it's not often I get a 'win' over Dynamo on this game - I would say that his dominance here currently is stronger than mine at it's peak on Jump Gear 2. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this one gets matched fairly soon, if that is a score he chooses to go for. In any case, this score in particular proves that I can probably achieve much more in this game - and whilst I have been fairly inactive after hitting 26k - I want to go for more someday!

Having said all that, there's an idea that I had that may be able to produce scores as high as 88 - but I've never executed the trick with a decent amount of effort. It's either outright impossible, highly inconsisent - or my untied is about to get destroyed as I overrated the difficulty :)

  Wow, I'm only 5 points away from the highscore, now I feel better. Great job guys on earning those scores.

  Holy shit dude what even?! I’m not at home right now but best believe as soon as I get back I’m gonna figure out what ancient trickery you summoned for that score! ;)

  Wow I almost forgot I got 84 here! Congrats on the 85 though, that's a truly annoying score. I will try for a bit, so far I've had a couple of promising runs...

EDIT: Paced 85 to the end, failed the top arrow 4 (!) times and then died at the end to that damn arrow...

EDIT 2: Died to the last hedgehog on for an 85... I guess I was thinking too much about making the top left to think about the placement...

EDIT 3: 85!

EDIT 4: I actually don't believe I managed that! 86! I discovered the trick for it about 2 minutes before my first 85, and in fact my 85 was an 86 with a failed jump. I never got a run with no failed jumps until this 86!

  Got the 85 finally! Those top left and right arrows are the trickiest, but I managed to find a consistent way to hit them about 95% of the time.

I feel like you have to come back to this one CG, being so close to the max. :P

  This sucks. Lost an untied due to that stupid arrow :-/

EDIT: I guess I deserve that after having it cruelly robbed. Untieds are hard to come by for me so I'm glad to skip right there from 77! I think 85 is the max with my strategy though!

  Tied second in fact Chris :) I'm not surprised, there's a reason that even though you've barely been active in the game over the past few years, you're still 6th...

  Wow, I never realized I got the 3rd best score, and that was 9 years ago, just Wow.

  Painfully annoying - don't really wanna improve it but 72 isn't what I want for this.

  Finally beat this level, which was also my last official level!

  That arrow killed me 6 times too D:

But I got it :D

  I'm afraid to say that arrow is 99% luck :/

  How boring is that killing arrow at the end??? HOW?????

  I got killed by the arow... How are you suposed to avaiod it?

EDIT: bnevermind you have to move to the left.

  I finally did it!! I everytime got killed by the arrow at the end!

  Yes!!! I finally made it!!! Amazing.

  i know that part is frusterating

  you hit all of the targets and then get killed by the moving semi circle??!1

  Very Original! 5/5

  Ehm yeah,, I know the titel is pretty bad, but I had to come up with something quick :)
And yes, I know theres a problem at the end with the ball .. sorry about it.

  I quite liked the level--after I finished hating it for how difficult it was. Nice job, IceQb. As for the comments about being squeezed to death by the arrow at the end, that only happened to me when I was on the left side of the arrow--when I was on the right side, everything worked fine.

  Very hard but excellent idea :)

  you should edit the level because when the ball take me , i got squeeze on the arrow

  yes! I beat it!

  very hard but very fun

  i dont get why you called it try of die?
anyways its a great level

  I hate this level
