played back at 6800. I think it's a keyboard error

These 2 inps used skip levels. I think it's cheating because others players didn't use it. They must be zeroed.

yeah 6800 edited and the others appear to use level skiping when the going gets tough on the levels. i don't think there needs to be a poll on this? but another editor should agree to chomp these.

Hell, at least I admitted that I used level skipping in the game. The problem is that this is an integral part of the game at that point (not a bug) and it's also not helping our scores any.

Still, I doubt there would be an objection to killing stage skip in this game.

it appears the level skip is performed just about when you are about to
"lose" and thus stoping a lost life seems like a pretty easy way to get a higher score (more time to continue the game). But i'm assuming you do lose when the computer gets all the red squares.

Yeah, you lose when time runs out or all the red squares get cleared.

I agree. I played it back then and didn't know that was possible

A Special Rules link telling this is not allowed should be made.

Special Rules link created and these two recordings zeroed. However, could someone please confirm that MD@Team7us's new topscore of 22,200 only playbacks to 14,600?

I zeroed their scores, or what do you mean?

MD must have uploaded the wrong inp. I'll edit that.

Oh, now I see. I didn't check them all, I'll do that tonight.

LeClaqueurFou: I see that you've confirmed the remaining 5 scores, so I guess they don't use level skipping, right?
