    Attention Players

    THE RULES HAVE BEEN UPDATED

    Hey all, we try to make the rules so that it is fair for everyone to compete and we also try to make things challenging. With this game in particular, we ran into a speed bump because the game allows for extra lives, so it is hard to tell exactly when the first life ended. 

    You can probably guess that in our testing, no one made it far enough to get an extra life. 

    As such, you can now use all of your lives to complete the game and we are looking at your HIGHEST SCORE. 

    Current Record Holder: Zubayet Zaman with 84,295 points!

    He will be difficult to beat, but impossible to beat...not sure!

    Secretly crying in the corner because I can't beat the Genesys team members on this thread.... so I made a freehanded Doge meme instead. I hope that keeps me in contention for bronze!

    Congratulations, @Glenda Kingston! After day 1, it looks like you are in the lead! Your score meets the rules threshold of having the two Gs left. A nervous community sits, watches, and waits to see if you can hold onto it for two more days???

    No kidding! The Community's Olympic Committee did not know the score could go that high. Maybe we have a world record???
