21,050. Building three.

The first two boards aren't bad at all. The third building is harder, but still reasonable. The fourth building comes with a huge increase in difficulty. The enemy spies shoot much faster and they can lie on the ground to shoot, leading to many opportunities for them to kill you cheaply. I don't think I have ever made it past building four without using some kind of cheat.

I remember this game was part of a tournament last season and I left it to the last minute. At the time, I thought it was slow-paced and terrible. I Played it a bit last night and it kind of won me over. Not my fave by any stretch, but it's a pretty fun game once you get a hang of the clunky controls.

 

I really don't understand the logic behind pressing down to crouch then having to press up again to stand up. It wouldn't be a big deal if it weren't different from 99% of the other platform games that allow you to crouch. For whatever reason they decided to go with a 4-way joystick on this machine, which is no doubt the reason for the strange crouching thing. If an 8-way had been used, you could press D/R and D/L to crouch and switch directions as needed, then simply press L or R to continue walking (think Rush N Attack, Contra, etc.).
