I literally have no idea what's happening right now, but I got a 283700 @ 9.2...

Today's best game was 200.8k @ 7-3. Slowly but surely...

Had a 254k run today that ended with a tumble down the elevator on 8-4.

Some reflections so far;
I'm doing relatively well on barrels (from level 5 where the barrels are easy to steer and the wild barrels are more predictable) and springs, but I can struggle a lot on the pie factory if I don't get a clean shot at the ladder. The rivets are maybe my worst level, where I am not good enough to improvise a pattern when going for the star is not the appropriate course of action. I should try to improve these by doing more savestate training.

I don't go for any extra points anymore as I don't feel it is a good use of my time right now - I would rather let the score always more or less reflect how far I made it in a run.

You should be able to clear any given board post level 4 at least 19/20 times on average to reach the kill screen fairly reliably it seems. That could take a while...

I hear you man. I'm kind of in the same boat with similar scores. Fireballs/pies/belts can really put me in a bad spot. I get a little too ambitious and end up in a pickle before I know it.

You streaming?

Yeah at twitch.tv/twinxen, although I can't play worth a damn for the time being it seems... :-/

Watching, some of the progress by new players like flobeamer, and twinxen gives me an idea of how naturally bad I am at this game.  Great job on the 283k game though. :)

Got a 324.1k @ 10-2. It was a huge run where I didn't lose a man until lvl 8 somewhere I believe. It went south when the pressure built up, but at least I didn't fail a single spring.

It was also streamed live, so thanks to those who tuned in. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/255390126

You should submit that score it's really good. That's 166 on the high score list.
