a quiet hi score compo going on on this and some other caves :) i kinda miss old times when hi score compos were more regular. i'm not really a fan of technical running compos but if there's some strategy involved i'll accept any challenge :)

Indeed, it's interesting to see there's almost always a faster way to clear the cave until someone hits the total max :D

Alright, I give up, can't compete with experts :-D

 darkstoorm , well it is you who is the expert because your 597 score forced me to change my strategy to similar of yours :) my initial strategy was something like my 594 run which is also now visible (i couldn't do better than 594 with it). when you did 597 i realized that your strateey must be different. i was aware of the spinning-bfly variation but when i played this cave first times i just quickly determined that it's not that interesting because if the fly his hit too many diamonds are lost because of titanium wall beside it. at that time i thought i could do be better in the upper left corner and just forgot the spinning-variation for a while. i'm still not 100% sure that is it possible to get one more diamond somehow (maybe using " shredder -sequence" :) with the initial strategy but i couldn't find a way to do so.  
  
this was a nice hi score compo. not too good scores to begin with so that there's much room for improvement and even strategy changes. that's the spirit of great compo! :)

 nesdori  - Well, I can only run classic caves and tryhard for better muscle memory and the best result, but thanks, even though I can't solve the complex caves in here.  Arno 's old videos were inspiring enough to get back to the game.  
  
About your run, it was perfect, you were exactly one frame away from losing 600. In my run I mistimed 3 (or 4) frames, but I was 6 frames behind when the timer went down to 39 seconds, so I still couldn't get to 600.  
  
Your attempt on cave D was also amazing, I didn't even think about that kind of solution. Gotta learn all those tricks :D  
  
I'm still too sloppy when the game gets faster. from 7.5 to 10 frames is a huge gap :D

indeed 10 and 7.5 fps are different worlds. i really don't like 10 and i had try 600 run a few times. i actually made few running mistakes but luckily it was just enough to get 600 like you said.
