Year of Gaming - Week #2: Temple Run - There's an evil monkey chasing me!
Think you have what it takes to be PokeCommunity's best gamer? Prove yourself in PC's Year of Gaming Challenges! Each week a new game will be picked to see who has what it takes to get the highest score in a game ranging from old school to current modern classics. The people with the top 3 scores will be given emblems due to their abilities. If you have a recommendation on what we should play next, send me a VM/PM and we'll see what we can do! Quote:
Rules ☠. To access the game, it is available free in the app store for your phone. Note: if anyone can find an equivalent of it online, I will love you forever. ☠. After losing your last life, take a screenshot of your score - which in the case of this challenge will be the distance you've traveled - and comment below with it. ☠. You have an unlimited amount of tries to get the farthest distance. However, only the top 3 scoring members will obtain an emblem. ☠. You have one week to participate in this challenge, meaning the last date to send an entry will be June 28th, 11:59 PM ET. Standings 1. O'aka XXIII - 59,616m Year of Gaming Hall of Fame Spoiler:

Hell yeah, I love this game! Good choice. ^^
|
Yahoo, I'm in the hall of fame.
Anyways, el, I don't think phone games are a good choice... Some people may not be eligible due to not having smart phone to play on... Well, not that I'm part of them but I can see that being a problem for some... Plus... how are we supposed to take screenshots of a mobile game? |
Quote:
The majority of smart phones are able to take screenshots by hitting a combination of buttons. Either experiment by hitting random buttons, or Google your type of phone and you can find out that way. |
Quote:
Uh I am pretty sure hitting the home button and power button together will do the trick, for phones without the physical home button aka non apple stuff, hitting the the volume button and power button will do the trick, some phones have it in the power button menu too. |
idk if i should enter or not because i feel like i will be beaten by a mile lol

A quick question for you Matt, does this challenge include Temple Run 2, or is it just the original Temple Run?
|
Can I just post a picture of my all time record or do I have to actually put forth effort?

man beating your guys will be hard. my best atm is around 2,800 m, gonna post a screenshot when i get farther
|
|
|
Even though my new best is 5,575, I don't think I'll ever top that high score...
*ragequit (I'll only upload this image if this warrants at least 3rd place in the end) |
oh god that high score.
how much time did you put into this game? xD |
I will never get as far as O'aka.

Are you taking upgrades into account?
Anyone that has better upgrades will have a huge advantage here. Not everyone is on equal ground, especially since getting the upgrades can be hard, so it's unfair to anyone who only started on this or started a new game. |
I would say that we should disable upgrades if the player has them. Because it is unfair.
Edit: I would also say no items. Since there is a running item that you can use at the start that automatically gets you to 2500 m. And then the ressurection wings basically give you a do-over for anything. So if you have a lot of coins you can just stock up and run forever. |

I'm leaving it up to y'all how you want to handle this. We can either do a hard reset when it comes to the standings and start over from scratch, or if you want to play by the honor system we can keep the current standings and people who used upgrades can resubmit a new score. Just let me know how you want it. |
I'm pretty sure everyone here has been playing fairly, so I think we can keep the rankings as they stand. Besides, O'aka pretty much cemented himself in first and I'm pretty sure he can do it again, haha. Also, I just tried using upgrades with the 2500m and the wings that resurrect you and I got 30 000m easy, and I'm not even that good at this game. So our scores look rather fine.
To be perfectly honest though, I don't think Temple Run was the right game to play for this week. What with it all being the anniversary of Sonic, we could've have played Sonic Dash instead. Same premise and everything, just more in tune with the festivities (and more fun xD). |

This was the second reason why I said that mobile games aren't the best for challenges... As most mobile games come with micro-transaction and power-ups... New challenges should be made for games that are don't have anything like that :) Btw is there even a possibility to disable the power-ups in this game? |
Quote:
QWOP'pers gonna qwop. Also speaking of QWOP, I remember exploiting to dash (well, not quite) to 100m. Still a normal run, but really slow and steady, though. |

Well, joining this party. Enough to put myself ahead of sri. ;)

Well you can't get rid of the items that you buy like the wings and boosts but the actual like powerups you can disable if you get enough coins. Or you can just not buy them in the first place if you're starting fresh.
|
So are powerups allowed or not? I only have 1 point in everything so it's a bit obvious which side i'm on xD

Im gonna post my best score somewhere tomorrow or on 27th. It's not even close to the top 3 tho xD |
I hope everyone doesn't plan to get scores higher than me and then just post them at the last minute. Cuz that'd just be mean.

Pretty sure nobody here is planning on playing Temple Run 24/7 to beat your high score |
ugh sorry matt i accidentally took the wrong screen but if u see both pictures u will get the proof, the score is 10522

I got this score but since I'm camping with family (touchy little butthead kids) when I went to grab my charger for my iPod they clicked out of it. I hope you accept this. O'aka will be #1. |

.....Power ups are allowed?? Both of you couldn't possibly do this without power ups or items D;
Ignore me I am just but hurt that I lost trying to avoid one power up :( |
It is possible without power ups or itens as long as you know what you're doing.:p
|
Been at camp all week with little Internet acces so here's my last minute entry:

Well it was a long battle - and one entry cutting it real close - but it looks like a trio of Crystal tier members have won this challenge! Congratulations O'aka XXIII, WarPaint, and acatfrommars in winning this week's challenge! The next challenge will be up very shortly, so best of luck to all the competitors!
