Re: High Score Challenge - S22 - Round 9 - Uncle Claude

Something to get started, nice astectic to the game, gameplay is a little bland so far.

Re: High Score Challenge - S22 - Round 6 - Bug Blaster

Bit of a boost, I got stuck on a level where the snake was kind of trapped along the botton and left side and I couldn't get down far enough to pick the segments off until it start working it's way back up to get me.

Re: High Score Challenge - S22 - Round 5 - Ossie

Simple game with tricky timing, fun fact you can hit the poacher while carrying a fish.

Got through the first wave and almost through the second, going to be tougher to get further as the time limit per catch reduces each wave.

Thanks for posting the instructions as I had no idea what was happening the first few tries, and now that I know what to do I still don't have the cooking skills to pull it off :lol:
