Hey Grips that is a fantastic score. Are you using your arcade controller? Cheers from Belgium.

I think it is too late for 2014, but what about having an age range for scores for a future competition? I have a 7-year-old that is interested (I got him 'hooked' with the story line) but there's no way he is going to make it on the boards with these Giants of Christmas playing.

Tell him to post. In the CvW Championship, every score is a High Score. Plus, Santa always takes exceptional pride when children play.

Merry birthday and a happy christmas! Your game is the only way you will see me "christmas caroling" this christmas. Happy birthday my friend

[Fushek]

Happy Birthday DZ! Hope that you enjoyed it!

Alright, at 10:50 PM EST, with a bit over an hour to go on my birthday, I've finished my last game and I'm calling it quits for the night. I'm going to have a well deserved glass of Cognac and enjoy the rest of the night watching movies with my wife.

 

The official score to beat for the Birthday Challenge is 2,040 points. Below are some photos of my last tour. I managed to earn the rank of Helper Elf (damn! I'm so rusted!), and I got Perfect Level Bonus on almost all levels--even one on Candy Cove!

 

Some perfection is in order...

 

I saved Christmas! Yay!

 

My final score: 2,040 points:

 

 

I've updated the official leaderboard, though my score doesn't count for the top rankings.

Damn days are busy. Barely got this game in on time. Weird getting used to the flashback controller.

Just missed a perfect Christmas, due to Krystal Keep. I need to practice this one.

I was really in the groove tonight and blew away my old high score.

Wow... Very impressive scores. I will give a try to the arcade stick during the holidays. For the time being I have to bet for portability due to my long commute to work. Cheers and read you around Grips. O

Is this the first time you encounter the "Kill Screen"? If so, may I ask, what did you think when you saw it?
