    Kitten Cannon
    - Week #20 -

    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!​

    "Kitten Cannon! is a 2005 game by BurstStudio. It is widely credited with popularizing the "Toss" genre on Newgrounds. Kitten Cannon! is somewhat similar to Toss the Turtle, but is older and significantly less developed. Players control a cannon that shoots a kitten. They can change the angle of the cannon's barrel, which can be changed using the up and down arrow keys, and the power of the cannon."

    Warning: New Challenger Approaches!

    This is El Héroe Oscuro. He's been heralded as the champion of video games. Think you have what it takes to take the title from him? Each week, he will be competing against you for the highest score. What will you get if you beat his score? A raffle ticket that at the end of every 5 week cycle will enter you into a chance to win a $25 Supporter Rank or video game gift card of your choice. The more times you beat him, the more raffle tickets you get and the better chance you have of winning the prize. But don't take him lightly: he's pretty damn good at video games...

    Funny thing is that I included a PETA reference into the emblem description for this challenge lol.

    I'll update my score shortly for this.
     
    So far...

    Spoiler:


    Best of luck to everyone.

    I forgot to vote on last week's poll, but I do prefer games that involve more skill like Tetris than ones like this. :P If there's more to it than controlling the power and angle of a firing cannon, I don't think I get it 'cause this was more or less sheer luck.
     
    Oh god a game that I discovered in secondary school and played the hell out of. Love this game to bits. Will post score in here soon enough.
     
    Although this game is kinda fun. I think that this game is very poorly suited for a year of gaming challenge like this since it's almost all luck and no skill.

    That said, this is the best I could do.

    Yeah, you guys are right. The game in itself is more luck based than anything. I'm going to take that into account for the future so y'all can actually test yourselves in these challenges like Tetris.

    As stated prior, I'll be playing in these challenges for now on. Every 5th week a raffle will be done and a winner will be picked to win a $25 Supporter rank or video game gift card of their choosing. To get a raffle ticket you just have to beat my score, and you can get a maximum of 5 raffle tickets per drawing! Here's my score as of right now, will update as I get more time:
    Spoiler:

    Whoever got 2,000+ y'all suck ):

    My score after some tries. I don't really see the fun of this, I'm afraid.

    No worries, there isn't that much to the game so I don't blame you for feeling the way you do. You don't really have any control as to how you do so I can understand why it's not that fun. Will be fixed in next week's challenge!
     
    This is the luckiest I could get best I could do.

    Don't mind me, just posting the greatest Kitten Cannon score of all time.

    Spoiler:


    I literally had my kitten hit 5 TNTs + one of the floating canisters in a row, and I think it topped out around ~570 ft. in the air. I hadn't done any better than 1600 ft. before that final run, so I'm completely shocked at how much I surpassed my other scores.

    EDIT: Aaaand I didn't realize that the cutoff was EST and not PST, so I missed out by just 1 minute, haha. Still, even if it doesn't end up counting, I don't think anyone's gonna beat that score.

    I like, really, really, hate to say this cause this is an amazing score, but you posted this at 12:00AM and by rule...

    If it's any consolation though, because you did say you got over 1,600 ft, I'll put you in as one of the raffle tickets - can't award an emblem though unfortunately.
