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).

Sonic is definitely a game I was considering of doing down the road, but you are right that it would have been cooler to have done it this week. I didn't actually know it was the anniversary for it, good pickup! Nonetheless, some games will be hit or misses, and on paper Temple Run seemed like a good idea. I already have next week's challenge picked out, and let me just tell you...everyone will definitely be on the same playing field when it comes to it being challenging (;

Is it going to be Minesweeper? Because everyone is screwed in that game.

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.

Spinny said something I forgot to mention myself... =D
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?

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.

you can't disable them, but you can try to ignore them. also uninstalling and reinstalling the game erases all the power ups you bought, but i don't think anybody will do that

Sonata June 24th, 2014 2:28 PM

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.

Lusus June 25th, 2014 4:23 AM

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

Anything that can be avoidable should be done so. So if the power ups in the game are buyable, then don't do so for this challenge.

Okay.

Im gonna post my best score somewhere tomorrow or on 27th. It's not even close to the top 3 tho xD

Sonata June 25th, 2014 2:05 PM

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.

srinator June 26th, 2014 5:14 AM

You'd still have a guaranteed spot in the top 3. Anyway, you still gonna try for 100k? :P

And another update:

This is the first time that I've played the game in a couple of months since the only reason I played it was because my ex played it 24/7 because she has no life and I just wanted to outdo her. The most I've gotten since putting up a score is like 35,000m so I don't think I'll get to 100,000 by the time it's done lol. The most I've ever gotten was 72,000 so it was just a fools dream haha.

Austin June 26th, 2014 6:55 PM

Update! I'm still super impressed by your score, O'aka.

A very sad attempt at 100,000.

In direct defiance to this, I'm gonna leave this here. I'm sorry.
