Ah, good, you got past the final wave of 4, and then enjoyed some modest difficulty again. Look out, Garrett!

Accepted.

Not sure about anyone else, but Im not betting against Bill capturing the record relatively soon ... and he knows why ;-)

Its okay ... I like the abuse XD

Great score! Smart gameplay. That ending, though ... ugh! You definitely got what it takes to 10K this. Well done, and an easy yes vote!

its agonizing really. i'd say most parts of the game, if you can do it, you can do it. well except the third chamber key. for that key alone, its easy to get the key, but then tough to escape without dying. so i could see someone grabbing the key, then dying then respawning in a safer zone. for every thing else in the game though, if you die you respawn and have to do it right, so if you can do it on the third guy you could've done it on the first

meaning, the only time multiple lives matter is for third chamber key and of course random screw jobs. the randomness can be your own inabilty to focus or finger slip or things like that, or i guess it can be system failure/bugs. only place i think actual rng can affect deaths is chamber 2, third level down and chamber 4 getting the key. since chamber 4 is so often to require you to use the bomb i just treat that as non random and assume i'll need the bomb meaning i only see that one part on chamber 2 as the only random thing where the rng is honestly pretty heavily in your favor

this is a very long way of saying, i think it you beat the first 4 loops on 3 lives, then i think in theory you're not far from marathong the game on one life, its just humans have a way of messing up even things we're good at
