Actually, I'm pretty sure that score is physically impossible for most anyone. I don't think anyone could have that much patience, skill, and luck to not make a mistake for that long. What happened was while I was playing the game glitched, sending the little robot guy about midway into the ceiling (If you look at both pictures, you'll notice he's at the same height). Not only was he stuck there, but he was also moving forward at a few meters per second. It glitched right before my lunch break was over, so I decided to leave it running to see if the error would eventually phase itself out and drop me or crash the game. It did neither, and when I came back it was at around 90,000. So I just let it run more, but the music was killing me. tongue.gif I'm trying to glitch it again to see what is was exactly that I did, but so far unsuccessful.

Was amusing though. By the way, I'm absolutely horrid at this game. smile.gif


And here I thought I had to try to beat your score or (more likely) die trying. You're a lifesaver.

Well, after about 2 hours of simply playing around I finally reproduced the bug, but this time going backwards You really can't make this glitch happen with skill, it just takes a bit of luck to create the right conditions for the bug to rear its ugly head. Basically, you have to be swinging at a fairly slow rate upwards and from what I can tell click the "ceiling" block when the avatar is just breaching it, causing it to dead stop for a moment and then I guess based on some quirk it'll go either forward or backwards horizontally.

The interesting thing was that the avatar proceeded to go backwards EXTREMELY slow, yet the meters per second was actually quite fast. It took a total of -800 meters to go about 4 inches on my screen and off of the playing area. So I guess it used the last velocity recorded before the glitch to calculate the distance, while the avatar graphic itself did its own thing. Sadly, this time he did fall after a bit, making for a rather unimpressive number, though quite insane for being a negative one.

Now that I've wasted 6 or so hours to break something twice, I feel confident I can move on to something more productive.

I'm glad I had a part of amusing you for so long tongue.gif
