🎮 Hi-Score Hijinks

[ZeldaCrossing64]

Fun fact, this is my first time playing Desert Island Escape. Pretty good for a newbie, I suppose!

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

I have got to learn to keep my mouth shut, anyone can always surpass records. Well done to your score!

 

[Firesquids]

Welp I'm officially giving up, I felt so confident until the high scores started coming in, my ADHD wont let me focus long enough to beat you, @Shellzilla_515 amazing work friendo!

How, what?! How can you all be this good?!

 

[-Lumi-]

Genuinely I do not know how people are scoring so high on this game!! Major props to you all. It starts to go so fast and the music ramping up is so stressful. I was shaking with anxiety just getting this score!!!

How have your hands not turned to dust?!?!? Congrats!!

@azurill @Mistreil @Rio_

Just for fun, no stressful competition…can you all play Score Attack on Hard mode and post your results? Only if you have the time, of course. I love seeing people just built to play specific games.

It's so much harder It took a long time to get used to!

I'm all caught up on accepting submissions again. If I've missed yours or you feel like there's a discrepancy, please let me know.

If both of your submissions ended up in a single post, I handled this one of two ways.

• If I had an existing accept reaction that equaled the total rewards you earned, I used that. So you'd receive a single acceptance for the combined total prizes.
• If there was no accept reaction with the correct rewards total, I split your post and accepted each game individually.

I'll continue to handle merged submissions in that way because I know as we get closer to the deadline people may have to submit both together. I don't mind splitting posts for a handful, but I didn't want to have to do it for all the entries.

You all are really amazing with these scores! I never expected to see entries this high!!!

@Shellzilla_515 The irony of your score matching your username is not lost on me.

Thank you, Paperboy! Since there's still a lot of time left in this event, there's always a good chance that someone else might take the crown. Who knows? Right at this very moment, someone is probably putting everything they've got to try and beat my score. And honestly, I'll applaud them for their valiant efforts. I just couldn't go further before I start losing my sanity!

Welp I'm officially giving up, I felt so confident until the high scores started coming in, my ADHD wont let me focus long enough to beat you, @Shellzilla_515 amazing work friendo!

Thank you, Firesquids! 170,313 points is no easy feat. Somewhere around 75,000 points in and the speed level is already at max. Imagine dealing with that for four hours straight. You deserve some cheers too!

How, what?! How can you all be this good?!

I'm surprised that I somehow stuck to it for so long. It's quite a lot more draining than you expect. Not just my hands having to deal with the constant presses.

How have your hands not turned to dust?!?!? Congrats!!

Thanks, Rio_! Your score of 319,629 points is really impressive too! Honestly, the question would be "how did you not lose your sanity?". The constant focus of finding panels to clear can get really draining, even with breaks in between. Seriously, my mind subconsciously thinks of those fruit panels even when I'm not playing the game. In case you're curious, it took me at least 5 hours minimum in total (not in one sitting of course) to reach that score. That does not even include the failed attempts which have lasted a couple of hours in, so it felt defeating to say the least.

@Shellzilla_515 The irony of your score matching your username is not lost on me.

It's a feel good number to me. I thought that would be the best time to just stop playing puzzle league there and focus on other activities for this event. I'm not sure if you know this fact, but the number 515 is a reference to the scores I achieved in these two events: 2021 TBTWC and 2021 TBT Camp! I still remember the amount of points I earned for those two events which are 170 points and 345 points respectively. Do the math and you get the number 515! And then you may ask, "why?". Well, it's because those were the first two major events I've ever participated in on TBT despite joining all the way back in 2018, and I enjoyed them very greatly with memories made in the process. Man, I can't believe it's been almost three years...
