I just had one of the most fun and productive games I've ever had. Maybe the very best I've ever had.
I got my first Aries potion, and in the very next level another Aries, before the lemons.

I also got a

Chopper's hat, and

early in the game and had a TON of evil fun (evil to the fruits, mind you). I got another C-R-I-S-T-A-L (my 5th? 6th?) giving me 2 extra lives at once for a total of 9 (I was about 10k from the 500k mark). I didn't lose a life until level 43, in which I finally got my zodiac potion, Taurus.

On level 46, I lost another life diving for a

(lost it). With 7 lives, I decided to brave the PD. (I'm referring to what the levels are in the game, not on cadomax) I lost two lives on 46.0, 2 on 46.1 (my all time worst performance on that level) surprisingly none on 46.2, none on 46.3, I think a bombino's explosion got me on 46.4, 46.5 is the farthest I've ever gotten before, and miraculously the T I need for CRISTAL appeared and I moved on to 46.6, seeing it for the first time I thought it would be ridiculously easy (which it should have been, but I dawdled and got burned by the fireball) but moved on to 46.7, and claimed the key. (but not after getting killed one more time) And I left with 1 life remaining, whooping and cheering and so happy I put the song Perfect Day by HOKU on repeat. I continued to play excitedly, sure that with this luck I would most definitely beat my high score and be eligible to move up the pyramid. I got to the kiwis. Got the big yellow crystal unintentionally. Got to the leapers. Beat 'em. On level 81, I had something like 1,741,... But I was down to no lives and poor igor succumbed to a Lychee. I finished the first key Quest, and started the Shinobi Do! Quest. I need 4 more Chopper's hats, and I need only one more potion, Gemini, to be able to kick bombs up forever. Unlocked

Sadly, I did not beat my high score, but I did claim the #1 position on level 3, and if my luck continues, perhaps I'll be able to scrape by and move up!
