alpine9000 - Thanks, thats very great. We've had a few game makers join us in the compo, either with chat or even gameplay in some cases, so I hope you'll stay around and chat on the forums as we go along.
The comp has been rather quiet of late, so maybe this will liven things up a bit. |

And for sure, if free copies of a game can entice some new competitors into the competition, that would be great! |

Yup!
And besides, regarding playing competitively, that would also be somewhat unfair. Since we know these levels and what makes them tick Edit: that is If Worthy does get the vote of course. Last edited by Tsak; 23 August 2019 at 15:59. |

And that's the case - unless Juanma and/or MikeyG win BOTH current games (every other Cannon Fodder-voter also voted for Worthy).
Results: 1. Worthy ... 31 2. Cannon Fodder ... 24 3. Beast III ... 12 4. Apocalypse ... 11 5. Magic Pockets ... 10 So it's pretty much sealed we'll play Worthy in the first three weeks of September. |

Out of interest: are you aware of the highest score ever recorded for the game? Be nice to have a target to gun for! |

However my feeling is if anyone managed to get even close to this they would almost certainly be using save states. If you complete the game less perfectly, a score in the 70-80,000 would be the range I would expect. |

Worthy is a really hard game, I was good at solving the puzzles (Tsak created the levels to I could play them without knowing the solution), but some levels require really high level “arcade” skills (which is where I am lacking), and as such I would often die due to poor skills. Some levels can be frustrating, but it’s a real rush when you finally crack the nut. |

Out of curiosity I did try today to refresh my rusty "Worthy" skills and see what score I could get. Made it on my first run to level 26 before dying while scoring perfects for nearly half the levels. Score for this run: 28.668 Ah, @Malko, see now what you did there?

I really need to focus on Exile in its last few days, bit I REALLY want to crank Worthy up and knock that 28k out of the water!

IIRC you are a shoot'em up master. We could use some reinforcements, hope you'll return!
No double voting changes since rexsu didn't vote. Worthy is the game for round 11. |

Thanks Maybe I will, Worthy seems a bit boring, but I'll keep lurking and looking at later rounds!

Okay, good.
Worthy's gameplay doesn't look anything special indeed at first glance. But the difficulty is high and finding the solution to the puzzles feels very rewarding. But the genre isn't for everyone. |
