I love Zoo Keeper.  I play it quite often, usually at the end of a CK/DK session.  I got my first 1,000,000 point jump a couple of weeks ago.

I apologize for the break in the video, but you get the idea...

Can someone embed this video?  I'm not sure how.

Most videos embed automatically(Youtube, etc.) but I had to turn off Twitch and Justin emdedding because anytime someone posted a link to a channel it would embed the live stream. Makes a real mess of the streamer list page. ;)

Gotcha Jeff.  Ross, thanks for the awesome info on ZK.  I haven't even gotten through all of it yet.  I wonder how many on DKF play ZK regularly?

Zoo Keeper is full of weird "bugs", and almost all of them work against the player, however, I just saw a "bug" new to me that I would love to be a common occurrence in all my games going forward...

I was awarded 15 million points for jumping only 14 animals!

Bank error in my favor -- nice one Zoo Keeper.  Keep it up and maybe we can be friends after all.

I think that's actually a pretty consistent feature in ZK that can be exploited, similar to "claiming your points" in DK.  If you've seen my ZK streams you'll see that there are two spots on Round 1 where I am often awarded 100 points on a jump WITHOUT jumping over the elephant.  I'm not sure if the cause is exactly the same as in DK or if it works 100% but I do believe that John is aware of this and specifically uses it to his advantage.

That could explain the reason why he refuses to show his gameplay.  That would be really sad if his technique comes down to an exploit that he's trying to keep secret.

Same sorta thing happened, only this time I was awarded 30 million for jumping only 15 animals.

The 16th animal was completely separate from the pack, so I see no simple way of explaining why the game gave me credit for jumping 16.

Maybe I somehow got credit for jumping the same animal twice??  Or probably just Zoo Keeper being Zoo Keeper.

Maybe right as an animal turns a corner the game draws 2 sprites in the same frame and you get credit for two animals. It's probably ZK being ZK.
