Donkey Kong Junior

[Christopher_Robin]

Beat my high score last night - 266,600.

I haven't been playing it much as I've been console gaming a lot over the last few months.

Having a break is sometimes good though.

Don't want to jinx myself, but I think I'm going to break 300 soon, as I'm getting a bit more confident with the spring board/bird egg screen, which was the hardest part of this game for me.

Nice job!!

Great to see somebody still pluggin' away at this super frustrating game.

I hope to join you in the next few weeks sir.

Keep going large!

 

[Christopher_Robin]

Thanks buddy!

Hello all!
I've been playing my DK Junior cab that I got from the recent K9 delivery for 6 weeks and set my highest score yet this weekend.
Hopefully the photo attached ok.
The score is 194,800
Cheers.
Dave

Jammy git dave
You beat me by a Gnats bollock

 

[RetroDave Nintendo]

good score

Thanks
I'm really pleased with it. I'm hoping to keep getting better and nudging the score higher and higher.
After speaking to Alex earlier were hoping a bunch of us will be actively playing Jr and score chasing

Good stuff Dave, keep it going!

If you're prepared to put the hours in, the game will come to you sir.

Keep pluggin' away, the chains are where it's at!!

We're playing this for the next Ten Pence Arcade Podcast - I'm back into it again and got 103900 last night. Send in your scores (not old ones though - start afresh)

Finally broke the 200k mark and could have got so much more.
For some reason i panicked on the hideout and lost two lives

But really enjoying getting into this now and playing every day, 300k here we come.

Great score Alex, I think the key is to play every day (or at least play more than one or two games), which I struggle to do, but gonna have one last bash today

 

[Nintendo Arcade]

It’s taken me a week of playing everyday for two hours.
You forget so much
Really pleased to get 200k
Onwards and upwards

 

[Hurray Banana]

I can believe, I've gotten better but finding it hard to concentrate. Can make some good moves, then stupid

 

[CharlieFar]

Awesome Alex. Onwards to 300K!

I've had a bit of a rough ride with Junior this last couple of weeks. Hated it with a passion at first, but it slowly sinks in, and now I like it. The level design and the way it plays is quite original. Can't do the spring level properly yet, so my scores are suffering, but I'm having fun trying.

 

[Eddhorse]

Spring level isn't bad, mash the button for the jump.
Then its a counting thing to avoid the hatebeaks.

 

[Hurray Banana]

This guy gives a very good explanation of the basic strategies

And he just got a kill screen on DK at the Kong Off 6

Thanks Dave
I am glad your liking it,as it’s one of my favourite games.
It does take a while to master the patterns but it’s all your fault when it goes wrong.
If you miss the spring just go the long way.
As Vic said there is a bug there.
I absolutely love the game as it’s not stressful and takes a lot of skill and multi tasking, especially on the chain lvl
The pod cast was really in-depth which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The guys did it justice.Chuckie egg2018-03-21 20:15:47
