Came within visual distance of the finish line. Curses the final jump.

Will do everyone a favor on Pico Racer. (Wants to see someone beat this.) Ends with a jump pad on the far left during a turn (...probably?), despite no water visible. Do not avoid the jump. Figured it was a trap to fling you off the course. (Could still be. Only reached that spot once.)

Agrees. Hates spots like the final jump before the first dark zone. Cannot avoid bellyflopping onto another car sometimes. Loses maybe 2-4 seconds.

Coasted into the finish. Ran off the road just prior to the final jump. Nailed it thanks to that.

Earned maybe 4000 points for finishing. (Might be based on the number of cars passed? Tallied the score very quickly. Was caught up in the thrill of victory.) Might have actually hit all the soccer balls.

Returns with better information on the final jump. Appears shortly after daylight returns from the final dark section.

Shot an amazing last ball.

@Juno: Reflects time spent more than skill. Shies away from Discord. Limits the number of activities. Accepts praise for Solar Blaster, though. Devoted the least time to that.

@5qwerty: Nice score. Will almost certainly not beat that. Considered the current score a gift. Barely moved for the last few coins of the initial combo.

Doubts any significant score improvements from here onwards.
 
Played the other games for a bit.... had absolutely no idea wtf I was doing in Combo Pool initially... but somehow managed to get a victory? xD I guess I don't want to connect the pink balls? =o
Quite enjoyed Solar Blaster, but am absolutely horrible at it so far xD
Pix Hop was a nice surprise, initially disliked it, did a couple more attempts at learning the game and started enjoying it.
Combo Pool is my least favorite of the bunch tbh.

Scores from the final run for each game to get my ass on the board: 😂

Personal thoughts on the games, from most to least favorite:
- Solar Blaster: Straightforward shoot-em-up. Would have liked better balance between weapon power-ups.
- Pico Racer: Always liked Moonview Highway in Mario Kart. Gave off similar vibes while weaving through cars. Appreciates reasons to decelerate at times. Placed good point incentives in difficult locations. Complains a bit about the car randomness and deceptively big jump pads.
- Combo Pool: Views this as a very random game. Seems nearly impossible to intentionally score a huge multiplier. Discovered how to improve the odds, however. Finds it pleasant, however, especially alongside the other three twitchier games.
- Pix Hop: Suffers the hardest from randomness, due to the coin combo streak. Cannot let any fall. Blocks with you bad enemy spawns, coin locations, and land placement too often. Compensates with quick games, at least.

Yo I grinded so hard for that score lol, probably just lucked out

I think Pix Hop is definitely the most random out of all of them
Combo Pool is interesting but yeah it's hard to set up
Pico Racer played twice and I suck
Solar Blaster is interesting as well, I think it's a pretty fair game to compete in because of the time limit and no randomness.
