HammerBruno: I assume you mean kick the bomb up and then up again in the air? Just drop the bomb and press down, up, down. With the a little practice, the timing's pretty easy.
Today's run started pretty good. Now, I don't usually do full breakdowns of my runs but why not, right? I keep track. Maybe I'll learn something.

So close to getting the order. Fireball showed up, I got sloppy with the last two apricots, and I got burned.

So - no Coefficient 5, one Coefficient 4 that I didn't want, only one item (indirectly) worth more than 15k, and only two CRISTAL in the entire run. If it wasn't for all the big crystals that dropped, this post would go in the venting thread. However, a few more days away from playing wacky modes (Mirror, specifically) and a little more luck, I should be able to start putting up some decent scores and sneak into the Hall of Fame.
