I had a bit of a bash to try and get back within 10000 point of asarkila. Level 8 cost me many games but I did get a really great set of luck on one game which gave me equal top score. The thing that really sucks however is that I got a great run and could have done it one tick faster, but I missed a turn near the start (ran one too high, into the top of the level). So, in summary, it is possible to do at least one tick faster.... and the game I played could have achieved this because on playback there were no yams in the way (given the correct route choice).

I also managed to repeat my performance on level 48.... now optimal? My old high score used exactly the same method up to the grenade, but then I'd previously lost two ticks on "exiting". Oh well, a could of gimme levels sorted for the time being.

I've been idling lately but just today found out that you had done some high scoring. Welcome back. I'm waiting for that 10k advantage to evaborate pretty qiuckly. May the force be with you, bd4 master!

I fanally managed to equal the current top, after another HUNDREDS of games played. I had several times the possibility to improve by one or two ticks, but the exit was always busy. So I'll stop there for now.

Not quite optimal ... : But now I'm quite sure 782 is optimal. I don't dare to think I have reached optimum time however, who knows what you guys can do :
And about level 39... well done you bastard. Maybe I should start playing chaotic games again?

You have to be shitting me.... I figured it was optimal, otherwise I wouldn't have played for that score. Based on your time/score you must be using a wheel along with more dice than I was!

As for level 8, what a shithouse high score that is. Pity I choked.

Damn, I was hoping I would never have to play 48 again. Maybe I won't, I hate it. Nicely done guys and good luck.
