If the high score gets beaten this weekend I will be giving away a prize to whoever gets the highest score over the weekend. (Tiebreak is earliest score submitted)
Current score is 164 by Tom Carey
New Countdown App Looking for Beta Testers
Re: New Countdown App Looking for Beta Testers
Unlike Apto, it's possible in this app to keep restarting games until you get a 9 in Round 1. This would seem to be a sensible strategy for aiming for a high score, but I'm guessing this would be frowned upon? Any way to prevent this from happening? Or planning to just let it happen?
Re: New Countdown App Looking for Beta Testers
It's not the fairest way to play the game, so I'd hope people don't do it. Maybe in the future I can put some work into making it a bit more watertight, but right now there's probably quite a lot of other stuff that's higher priority.Dan Byrom wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 7:02 pm Unlike Apto, it's possible in this app to keep restarting games until you get a 9 in Round 1.

Re: New Countdown App Looking for Beta Testers
We're almost at 1000 high scores submitted to the game! To celebrate I'll be giving away a special prize to the player who hits game 1000. Rules:
- Has to be a 15 rounder scoring over 100
- No prize will be awarded if gameId 1000 isn't a 15 rounder or if its a score < 100
Game 1000 will be hit today, so get your phone out if you want to win
- Has to be a 15 rounder scoring over 100
- No prize will be awarded if gameId 1000 isn't a 15 rounder or if its a score < 100

An asbolute shedload of games were played yesterday and we smashed through the 1k games mark
Ben Wilson takes the prize for submitting a 107 15rounder as game 1000. It was a close call, with him having to unscramble EBOWSOFRU to get the century, and with Fiona T narrowly missing out by being 2 minutes too early.
It's quite convenient that Ben wins the prize, because now I can get the Colin Prize that I'm planning for the app also delivered to his house

You could also hand it over at COLIN itself, just saying...JackHurst wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 10:48 am An asbolute shedload of games were played yesterday and we smashed through the 1k games mark
