I find it quite funny that PineappleDude’s name as the most recent comment still give me some level of chills. I think weirdly enough that is the best measure of the reverence of a certain player. Maybe it’s not fair to the players who’ve played more recently, as the older players will naturally have a bigger legend status, but I think PD earned that level of fear around his name. I think for years Dynamo’s name on a level I’d highscored meant I’d have to try to beat it or accept defeat so it’s definitely developed there too haha.

Having said that, I think that you two or SuperMario can achieve 9M. It’s all a matter of belief (and getting flash working alongside probably too much commitment to the game lol). I noticed SuperMario came back and took 2-3 of my highscores that I found, and with the decent effort I put in, I couldn’t rebeat any of them so I believe that you guys are all capable of greatness still :D

Some of my optimisations I think are just necessary for beating the absolutely beastly scores set from PD in 2010 or 2011, set literally a decade ahead of their time. They may look insane at first but I reckon you can probably match and even beat some of them. This game is very different to Rolling Turtle in scoring as I’m sure you know. There is perfection to aim for there, but here perfection is usually just a theoretical limit, not something that can actually be achieved or pursued. You’ve gotta just do what you can, and regular PBs will soon show results on the global leaderboard!

I see sensei has returned to crush me once again. I like to imagine PD going about his day, when out of the blue he senses that something is wrong - his JG legacy needs defending! PD, you just rise from the dead whenever I get my hopes up. ;)

And thanks CG, I could probably try and get few high scores, but I'll settle for PBs for now. Some of your optimisations are just crazy dude. There's a reason you pulled away to 9.2 mil lol. I doubt I could even reach 9 mil nowadays. :(

I may need to get a proper keyboard, it's so annoying to play with the half size Macbook arrow keys, my fingers get twitchy and slip and it always seems to mess up my good runs when I'm in the zone! xD

Hey PD, long time no see. Do you know how to download Pale Moon?

Oh no.. I suppose it's about time I finally try to get flash up and running again :D

Nice score, and congrats on retaking 2nd global! I tried this one again for a bit and I think it's fairly beatable but honestly I think 237 was pretty flukey for me so if I wanted to redo it again it would be pretty difficult. I did claim 238 was possible 5 years ago - the truth to that remains to be seen though...

I will say that I see no reason to believe that you aren't still able to set some pretty crazy scores - and I'm sure that if you choose, you'll be able to achieve some scores that leave me questioning how you did it - like you were able to do many years ago when we were far worse players!

Still got it! First PB in like 5 years! Had a couple of runs where I kept up with CG up to the ending where I choked both times. I think I can get 136k if I push a bit further! I'm finally coming for PD after a very long hiatus. :D

Edit: 2nd place globally once again! So close to the highscore too! I might come back to this at some point as I got some really good runs which I choked. :(

Nice, apparently you have to memorize the level and try not to die in the lethal areas.

Skipped 236 for a 237k :P
