Daily Dare [Split 5]

[Siniri]

Kat, I ended up switching to the keyboard, and used xcv with my left hand, and bn with my right -- I alternated which thumb did the jumping based on level. It definitely gave me weird cramps in my fingers and hand, but it was the only way I could get it done.

Yay, for Ruby, Blue, Munduses, and BettyWales! [hands them a cookie each]

The lag on Neopets has gotten terrible over the last hour -- I hope those still trying can play alright.

{{cheers as well}}Yeah!!!!!

Is there any prize for the game?

We're guessing there will be.

[Riibu]

You know what? The one best thing I've gotten from this whole playing and playing around with all kinds of games, are the prizes. Because they finally got me the Packrat avatar. Finally. I mean, I've only been holding onto everything possible for about two years now, or what... Yay.

Hey, that's exactly how I wound up using the keyboard! It was the only way I could get it, too!

MMMmm cookies! Thanks!

Actually, someone else posted that here on PPT, and it worked for me. I should have given credit, but I don't remember who it was. So thanks, everyone, for all the tips. (Ow, must stop typing -- hands still cramping!)

Oh, and the prize box for Roothless has been edited to say "coming soon." So yay for more prizes -- it was definitely worth more than the 1k! (Did anyone who sent lower scores note the NP ratio, by the way?)

I finally beat the game! Earlier today, I made it up to about 4900 points but then I missed a click of the bubble and hit one of the spikes. I'm so glad that's behind me now!

[Rubywinged]

I dont think i could have done two hands on the keyboard that close it was easier for me to use the xvcb on the keyboard and the mouse for the last item (shield) but that's just me..... I won't tell you how many times I had to growl cause I had my fingers on the home row instead of the darn game keys tho!

And I really do think the ice cream level was the hardest for some reason. The last level wasnt so hard as it was accidentally hitting the wrong item with the skeith/kougra's

Good luck to any still working on the game!!

The game is still glitched for me, and I have to go to bed in two hours. No access to a Windows computer. This is so unfair, I can't stand it.

I hope they somehow extend the deadline for a decent amount of time after they make it compatible with non-Windows O/S. (Has Microsoft bought Viacom or something?). I'm assuming you already sent in a bug report, but I'd keep sending them in (at least one/day).

IMHO, the ice cream level was definately the hardest. Even after figuring out what button went to which shield, it was nearly impossible to tell which shield to use because a lot of the ice cream cones seemed to be right in between. Also, sometimes two cones would be right next to each other at different heights. Impossible to use both shields at once. What makes it even worse is that many of the columns are too tall to use the regular jump. When you use the spring super jump, the shield immediately disappears. I got into the habit of pushing "b" (helmet) immediately after "v" (big jump) every time whether I needed it or not. (On DOM, too).

Now, where's that melon-baller?

I've sent in two so far, one last night and one tonight.

And oh joy, there's a thunderstorm outside now. Now I'm wondering if I should just play one game through as far as I can and submit that score, or hold out in the hopes that TNT will acknowledge that there IS a stupid glitch, fix it, and give us more time. Just one more day, is all I ask. I've completed every other Daily Dare challenge, (22 AAA/ 9 Abigail) Dungeon Dash is all I have left to do, and I KNOW I can beat it with AAA because that's who I've been playing as this whole time.

If the prizes are awarded tomorrow and they act like nothing was ever wrong with their crappy little game, I'll probably either cry or cuss them out in Latin. Or both.

I'd send a score -- they fixed the glitch so that those who beat it in their second or third play still got credit, even if they sent a previous score. At least you'll get credit for trying if they are too stupid to acknowledge the problem (and hey, at least that way you'll get some NP out of it if nothing else). Sorry, that last part was lame -- just trying to make you laugh by showing you the "bright side."

If it makes you feel any better, we couldn't get it working on our Ubuntu machine today, either.

And congrats on beating it Byakuya!

{puts out a freshly baked plate of brownies} For those of you still trying...and for those that have finished.

Nah, it's not lame. I appreciate it very much. Thank you too, Pickles! Okay then, off I go to at least show that I tried.
