You're not suiciding?

No. Unless there's a specific spot one should suicide for some point bonus or huge rank decrease, I don't see a point to it for my playstyle. I certainly die enough on my own and don't see a significant enough decrease in rank that makes it make sense for me to do it.

Very minor improvement. Enough to move me up one slot on the leader board. :D

I see. I try not to begin each stage with more than one life. I don't even know if that makes a big difference. It's just how I learned to play.

Got extremely close to beating my score on my android handheld with the horrible dpad. Gonna have an hours break to gather my thoughts, then one last push before Jamestown.

I wish this game had a visible rank bar, unless there is one and I just can't see it because of the overscan haha

Yeah, I don't normally notice the rank until all of a sudden everything's flying at me at lightning speed. Keeps the game varied though and on your toes, frustrating as it may be.

I know aaron is having a super busy week. I asked the mods about my son playing as he wanted to be a team alternate for someone. There is an age limit on the site, so he can't sign up and post, but I can post for him and unless someone objects, he can be the 3rd for your team so you'll be sure to get a 2nd score each week. He's legit and has ALL-ed Zanac Neo and can get to Jitterbug on Deathsmiles. He doesn't do well when trying complex scoring, but just on survival alone he gets enough points to compete.

EDIT: scoreboard update, please lmk if I missed you

^ I'm cool with that.

I can jump ship to another team and your son can take my seat on the Smorkers if necessary, too. (And if it isn't going to make people upset.)
