calvinorion i saw your username on the highscore list, great job! :) but unfortunately, you were bumped to 18th place... :(

by the way, is it just me, or is dice escape not working again? i left the screen on for about 15 minutes and its still black with not even the preloader thing

Yea, the game hasn't been loading for me either the whole day.

And nice catch calvin! I forgot about the passing-up-the-coin idea on that run. :)

According to the News, the've taken the game off line for a while. I didn't even get the chance to try and reclaim my trophy spot, Bleh. :x

Anyway, I have a slight revision to the first part of Level 10, it uses two less moves, the dice still ends up in the same position so the rest of the level plays out the same.

(New)
Level 10

1 Left
2 Up
1 Down
2 Up
1 Left



(Old)
Level 10

2 Left
1 Up
1 Right
2 Up
1 Right
1 Up
1 Left

Mm...even with a 25 coin, my final score ended up at 1070. Looks like you'd need a looooootta luck to get to the high score table.

Yeppers. Thanks for the improved method. It works, and will give 28 points.

Was able to get a score of 1112 (rank 43 at this point). I don't know if i was just lucky or what, but whenever i found a 25 coin... i snagged it. Then replayed that level. Similar to Yoshi's method, except i'm holding it off for later.

Wonder if it makes a difference?

Hm, that does make a difference. If you collected a 25 coin in level 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 9, you could restart the level and do the better sequence for more round points. Good catch!

well, dice excape is back on-line, and now you get neopoints equal to the score! :D I got an easy 3000, as I always got over 1000. :D

Wed Aug 18, 2004 3:44 am

I did it!! I scored 1148. I'm number 10 on the high scores list, in line for a third place trophy and I am pretty certain that will hold untill the morning.

Gotta love those 25 coins, I had 3 or 4 of them. In order to get a game with that many 25's (that I actually picked up), I only had to play the game about 800 times today. :o

Arrrrrrrg! At least I've only sent twice today, at half points.

Oh wow Calvin, 11th! Pretty secure. Guess I lack the patience to play a game that many times. Never won a flash game trophy before. Getting close though...1123! ><

heres a tip to get your score a bit higher

on the last level, get the coin, and then click retry level. repeat if you have 2 more lives. on your last life, just beat the level with the strategy provided. if you do this, you can get 10-50 bonus points (after all, whats the use of having 3 lives at the end of a game?)

That's pretty much like the level 1 tip I suggested earlier in the topic. But if you do that, you're guaranteed not to get over 1100. You'd need at least one 25 coin/restart level.

Wed Aug 18, 2004 2:14 pm

Wow, thank you very much! :o I got a score of 1104 with two 25 coins. I'm ranked 57! Woohoo!

By the way Yoshi, I did that and I got 1104.

Oh whoops...I meant trophy, not 1100. O_o But oh well, that's for replying close to midnight.

Wed Aug 18, 2004 11:26 pm

I got 1111, and I'm ranked 53 ^_^

My current goal is to get 1337 points, but I doubt that will be possible in the soon future... heh... :P
