bump, this round has started(you can still play in round 4)

[Gorfy]

I've never played this game nor the original Keystone Kapers. Look forward to trying it out.......

[Gorfy]

Very nifty game! Unfortunately, I suck at platform games, and this one seems pretty challenging.

 

Speaking of challenges, I challenge anyone to score lower than this....... 250

[Gorfy]

Just noticed that this hack was created by our fearless Harmony games leader. Thumbs up to you, Dan :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Dan Iacovelli]

Gorfy why do you think I picked the game beside the fact it was the 10th anniversary of it's realse(still time to submit scores for round 4 as well,which might be extended for an extra week)

Do you mean a week beyond July 6? So, play for round 4 could extend until July 13?

[toymailman]

Got a game in during my toddlers naptime yesterday. I can't tell the difference between Keystone Kapers and this one yet, but will go a bit farther to find out. I had to stop when he woke up.

 

Here I am at over 50k with max lives and riding the elevator to get a nice screen shot.

 

50,250

[Dan Iacovelli]

[Dan Iacovelli]

scores updated. aslo don't forget round 4 has been extened until Sunday July 14th

[toymailman]

Played some more with baby down for his nap.

 

178,500

 

Still with max lives but I had to shut it off as I ran out of free time. I still can not tell the difference between Keystone Kapers. I think it is a graphical hack only, correct?

 

Anyway, I like Keystone Kapers, but don't have the time to roll this puppy.

 

[Dan Iacovelli]

since the game wasn't played much at the show the contest is canceled back to normal scoring

it is just a graphical hack since the missile are lower then the bi planes it does make it harder
