I had 2234 last night, and interestingly enough, I died at 2109 several times before I got there. Today I’m at work on my lappy, and let me tell you this game is a _lot_ harder on a touchpad. Took me a while (and many deaths below 500) to get the hang of it, now I’m working with a top score of 1449. Adds a whole new dimension to the challenge. ---

2409! **Yo La Tengo** you _punk_!!! And I got it _twice_! I took a screenshot too, but nowhere to post it. I _really_ want to know what happens at 2500. I’m on the verge of writing an email to find out. ---

After about 100 closecalls and 100 more attempts, **Yo** comes out with a new high score: **2439**. ---

2529? So you’re saying nothing special happens at 2500? I don’t see how the game can go on after that. The passage is too narrow! ---

Boy, right around 1450 almost always gets me, only got past once. But mark my words. I shall have the #1 spot for at least awhile. ---

1. I’m horribly disillusioned. But at least now I’m tied for the lead. ---

AHH! 2457 is the highest I can get. I could have gotten farther too, but I barely touched the top of the cave going over a hill. If I made the hill I think I could have at least tied your score(s). I’m still trying, though. ---

Grr… I keep getting killed at the same point - three pillars (I think) away from the point where you two died. It just gets too cramped. Still trying, though… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-game/104826.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-game/104826.md?page=3)
