Argh, just did a run ten feet short of yours, Colin. Right, let's go again!

EDIT: FFS, as soon as my Vita gets some more juice in it, that is. :lol:

Probably my final submission. I've been playing the hell out of this, it's a fantastic arcade game. So much more depth, no pun intended, that I originally thought.

4440ft : 165'960 points

Nice run Alex.

I haven't bettered mine and I'm even struggling to get past 3500m now, so I think I'll leave it there.
It actually plays really well even on the weak hardware. Its a nice port. Good fun.

Well I won my group’s but Alex is the winner here! Getting over 4K is very impressive. Congrats dude :)

Woo! Once I realised you can dig down faster than blocks can fall I started getting much better scores.

Sorry, wasn't able to compete. Played some more Truxton though and nearly reached the 200k mark!

The new game choice is in...

Never heard of it! Looks like a shmup from the box art? Damn, means I need to download a NES emu to my Vita haha.

Lovely. I'm gonna try it myself later if I get chance. I love it when one of them picks a shmup and even better when I've never heard of it.

Haha I've not had a chance to play it yesterday or today, but I've got it all set up on my Vita ready to have a crack tomorrow.

Sqoon looks cute. Might snatch up the cart when I see it. Being that it's from Irem, it's weird that there is no arcade version.

I feel that Sqoon has really left an impact on you Clippi.
