that you can achieve a great score at ANY moment - it seems so much within your grasp. But then you keep playing, and playing, and playing, and nothing, for hours you can't even go over 4000 pts.

it might take me days or weeks to achieve, plus a tremendous frustration. Unless I got lucky again. That's the problem with the game - it's so addictive, because you know ...

and one or two barely over 4000 pts., and then suddenly there's this one fantastic game where I go over 7000 pts. and further into the rounds than ever before. But if I wanted to repeat that score

What I find puzzling about "Cheese, Louise!" is how irregular it is. I keep playing for hours getting dozens of scores in the 2000-2999 pts. range, with just several over 3000 pts. ...

The 7308 score came about as a combination of my very good playing form (in the third day of intensive playing) and lucky arrangements of the cheeses (easy to avoid and conducive to perfect rounds).

and I think I haven't misfired any bullets, firing selectively trying to get perfect scores. 4. For rounds above 18: a similar tactic but with more emphasis on just trying to survive.

3. For Rounds more or less 9-18: firing continuously while moving from the very left to the right and then back. Then, when there are 2 or 3 "cheeses" left ...

(taking the risks to do it, which aren't very high yet). 2. Moving rather quickly through rounds 6-8, firing continuously (the bonus isn't worth the risk there IMO) ...

Congratulations on your third all-time result, devo2

. I don't have a real strategy, no. Some elements I have applied: 1. trying to get perfect rounds on levels 1-5...

I just reached Round 20 of Cheese, Louise! with a lower score than for 18 and 19. I'm getting more nimble, but Round 20 is much harder!

So it's just possible I could meet the Killer Birds with infinite lives this side of July, but certainly not with just three lives.

No extra lives at the moment, but I have suggested (in the Manic Miner forum) giving the player a choice between submitting a score and continuing with infinite lives.

jetsetdanny

I still don't get it. You are not playing with extra lives right now, are you? It is NOT possible to get any extra lives at this point - or am I missing something? So again, what's the problem

Because if I did it with extra lives, I would lose my ability to submit a score, as we're currently discussing in the Manic Miner forum.

Unable to meet the Killer Birds this side of July - I understand, tennis and other distractions. But why wouldn't you be able to submit a score if you achieved a good one, Andrew???

andrewbroad

Well, I certainly won't be going to meet the Killer Birds /this/ side of July, and I wouldn't be able to submit a score if I did.

So I rule on both scenes again. Will anyone challenge me before July? Or my all-time highs for both games?

jetsetdanny
04 May 2008
Yes!!!

Cheese, Louise! - 7308 pts. with Round 35. An all-time high, for score and round alike. I've spent three days on it, but now I can swear it's been worth it!

Congratulations on your personal highs, Andrew and boomshakalaka! I have reached Round 29, but with a poor score (2989, score #18). Plus I *almost* reclaimed gold in "Cheese" from devo2...
