Yay for weekend updates. I'm officially in love with Bruno's Backwoods Breakaway. It's the easiest 1000nps in the world (and it's still fun after the first play!)

I'm not very good at the game, maybe with practice I'll be able to get up to 1k. :)

The background music in that new game reminds me vaguely of that...theme music or whatever from The Exorcist, can't think of the name of it. (I want to say Tubular Bells, but that doesn't sound right)

Anyway, it's not a bad game at all, although at first I got frustrated trying to get potions that were near the top of the screen. Later it dawned on me that the level layout repeats itself, and eventually I was able to score high enough for 1000 NP. But it took so long, I don't think I'm gonna add this one to my dailies. Art's good though, and we needed another good spooky-themed game anyway. :D

This game will hold a special little place in my heart anyway, as it was the 250th one I played, thus finally getting me that darned Top Gamer avatar. Whoohoo!

I want the tombstone plushie thing...

The jumping in the Bruno game is horrible... you have to press the spacebar as hard as you can for about a whole second before it responds. Okay, so that was a bit exaggerated, but it really never seems to respond in critical situations.

Still, easy 1000NP and GM rank :P

No, you're right -- Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield. 8)

Okay, I need a Bruno and tombstone plushie! XD I'd say Sophie too, but eh... I don't really care for that Sophie plushie as much, but I might get it anyway.

O_o I wanna know how you guys find that game so easy! I can't get any worth while points from it at all.

Same here; the first time I played I was horrible. I'm improving a bit now though...it's not a bad game :)

Well, one thing is important to keep in mind: only drop the potions in the cave after you've collected all of them. Try it: collect one potion and drop it. Now collect the remaining five and drop them, and look at the difference in points

The other part of the game, moving and jumping to avoid enemies.. well, that's just a matter of practise I guess
