Great job, I'm around 65k I've been practicing on the switch when I get a chance.

Haha that’s another level to me! Took me ages to break 100k. Next target 120k!

Great score
I’ve started playing again and I’ll start posting my scores.
Think my top score from years ago was only 180k so not great.

Go you guys, get into it and post up some scores.

The high score table needs updating. Charliefar blew me into the weeds ages ago!

 

[lesdawsonslovechild]

I’d just scrape onto the bottom of the table based on current scores!

For those of you who want to get good at Donkey Kong, grab a Coffee and give this a read.

I've made a Donkey Kong coaching tool to assist people with the Springs stage. Hopefully it can help you improve. There's more information about it on my project page at https://github.com/10yard/dkcoach#readme

The coach displays information as the springs are released and highlights the safe zones (green) and danger zones (red) so you can react quickly and learn how to spot the various spring types. Typically you need to make a quick decision based on the length of the spring being released "short" or "long".

As you become more confident with your gameplay, you can reduce help features by pressing "P2 Start" button. Toggling from "Max Help" to "Min Help" to "No Help".

Here's a quick demo video.
