Sweet, the teacher extended the project deadline! My goal today will be to get a new high score!

I'm looking to get a score in tonight, but don't worry, I'm not expecting much at the 11th hour haha.

Oh man, another game I almost picked for my week! Even tho I'm eliminated, I'll definitely be playing some of this!

I second all the sentiments here about the level of care and detail from the shipping, to the box, instructions, pack-ins, and even a box protector. So great. I was blown away opening it up, seconded only by playing it on my actual system on an actual tv. It handles very nicely with a joystick. Here's my first game on cart- under my pb, so something to beat. Those super fast dogs are really hard to get around! I will be showing this game off as a special gem in my collection forever. Thank you again @Armscar Coder!
And a question (apologies if you answered this before)- what does the P&M in the delivery company stand for?

Wow. But I shouldn't be surprised, haha. And great season @jblenkle I think you get the "most dedicated" award b/c I think you're in pretty much all of the HSCs (at least the ones I play, haha).

Ah crud, the days got away from me and I forgot to play some more. Fun game tho, would return to. Nice scores all, and congrats @bubufubu

Welp, here's my Ice Trek score. Probably one and done with that one. First section looks like reverse Stampede, except that you can't rope dem doggies and it sounds like it's broken (we all know the INTV can make better sfx). And I can't build an ice bridge to save my life. Every time I get a few pieces on, crash, not fast enough to flame all the icebergs. Intentionally killed myself at that point b/c it was just taking too long. Oh well, perhaps I'll face the seals again in Thin Ice...
Ice Trek- A whopping 970

HAHAHA! DUH! Polar bears shouldn't be there 😆

And people say retro games lack story.
And this gif came up in my search. The cat is the seal who invites himself to Matt's Christmas party. And put a mask on, Alf!

That seal is a punk.
Thin Ice- 10,100
Here's my read on the situation- Duncan is a Jackass Penguin (they're real 😆) and he's just pullin' some pranks and dunkin' his penguin friends and stealing their shrimp cocktails. But this seal is a goody two shoes and chases him around to stop, even going as far as telling on him to the polar bears who come in the break things up. So the seal is bad, the bear is bad, Duncan is bad...the only good guys here are the friendly penguins, and it's your job to eff up their day. What a game!

I'm finding controlling this one a little hard, but I've been able to steadily increase my score. Fun!
183,388 Wave 3 Round 2
Reading the manual for tips and points helps. Getting the bonus for all towers is hard, but it's a lot! Getting up there in waves and using the force on the last round has got to be key to massive scores. Looked that up- in order to "use the force" on the 3rd round, don't shoot anything except for when you hit the reactor port. I suppose that means just taking a hit on any fireballs that end up sneaking through.

And I just have to share this. The production value in a commercial for a board game is quite nice, haha. I want to play these!
