After dropping a bomb on the strawberry, there are still a few seconds in which it can kill you. Do you recommend rushing to escape through the bottom of the cage or standing still?
It is personal preference. If you stay inside, the disadvantage is that you are extremely close, so you have to be really quick to sense when he will throw so you can jump. If you try to escape, the disadvantage is that you don't know at what point he will throw, so you are less prepared to maneuver around it. I think there is no fool-proof way to always play this level ... just constantly be on your toes and focus.

As for the pineapples, they never really cause me any trouble. Like 30191 said, just bomb them one-by-one from up high (I think I do 4 and 8, but 3 and 9 could work too), then go stand next to them and place a bomb. Couldn't be simpler.

On 92, I always go for the pear at the top, and I have never landed on him. Maybe I am just lucky ... All I know is that he will be a lot harder to deal with later. I say you should check where he is as you enter, and join him if there is room. If he is coming toward you, step momentarily across the street and lob a bomb at his platform (or wait a few seconds for him to move). If the pineapple wants to stomp, do not forget the sheep jump ... Fall off your platform for a split second, then turn around and throw a bomb to get back on land. Timing is everything

I think I do 4 and 8, but 3 and 9 could work too As far as I know there are two places from where they are easily hit; one of them is directly above them (which I would not recommend), and I guess both of us use the other one I don't know where they are, but they are easy to find...

For the strawberry: I think nemo is right. Just do what you think you should do. I always stay where I am and usually don't get hit. Quite similar to level 0.1 by the way - the strawberries need some time to shoot again. More time than apples and lemons, for example.

level 92: I think the place behind the white bomb changer is quite safe. If the pineapple stomps, you can either sheep jump (which requires timing) or jump up out of your square (but not through the teleporter) - so you don't need that exact timing.

I was #12 on the French server yesterday, and I got my second . I noticed I only needed 2.6 mil for the top ten (a fairly typical score for my point runs nowadays), and since yesterday was the last day of the week, I decided to use my first game to try to move up.

(Side comment: Throughout the 80's, it was quite literally pitch-black. I could not see a thing except for the circle around Igor. I almost died leaving 86 because I didn't realize there was still a Leaper alive. I lost three lives on 90 because it was impossible to tell when the pineapples would stomp. I need to complete )

I got 2.98 mil (and died on 91). My previous record was 2.84 mil. Then the server went down, and my game wouldn't save. I still cannot access the site, and I get this error message:

No quest progress. In my defense, this is an excellent score for Laggerfest (i.e. Pentium 4).

Ouch, Nemo.

If it's any consolation, they say that your game progress is stored in a cookie on your computer... so it should be safe and ready to save whenever the server comes back up.

Kinda weird that just that one would still be down, though. Usually all three will go out and come back simultaneously.

Apparently the chances of getting 2 of the same co.5 items, one after the other, is about 1 in 1,383,000.

Now, i got my 2 in the game game, anyone care to run those odds?

It was diamond of aces. I'm not complaining, but i just haven't got my BoS yet...

It depends on how many levels you have played.

1. Same game... Not game game, hope you figured that out

2. I managed to get to ~70... i think...

Maybe it would be ... but I was using a public computer at my school, and the chances of being able to get back on that same computer (and the chances they save the cookies) are slim. And I think you might have to rescue it before "midnight" anyway, though I'm not sure.

So it's gone. The bright side is that I didn't really get any items (I don't even recall any coef.4's, except one Big Unemployment). It was just the score ... so I just have to score that high again and all will be well.

I know, it's strange ... Actually, all three servers were down at first. (I checked to try to discern what the problem could be.) There was no server error message, just a page load error. Then, when I got home, the other two were up and I got the server error. Curiouser and curiouser ...

all three servers were down at first.

Indeed, for about ten hours. I noticed they'd all gone down just after I'd beaten Tuber again. Went to check the forum, noticed the site wouldn't load, and had to leave the game paused on Level 102 for the rest of the day. XD

...I wonder if it's a coincidence that the French server's pyramid has reset, while the scores on .net and .es (the two that came up sooner) are still the same as last week. Peculiar.

Apparently the chances of getting 2 of the same co.5 items, one after the other, is about 1 in 1,383,000.

But according to the great statician Terry Pratchett, million-to-one chances turn up nine times out of ten.

That's pretty amazing, though. Who knows, maybe you'll eventually unblock it!
