The time trial is designed for "walk up and play this game NOW" scoring contests.  It doesn't work for an un-monitored contest where people can keep trying again and again for a week, because then everyone ends up with the same score in the end.

No way this is going to happen! As Keranu has mentioned, it's a carnival game and although I'm not very familiar with the trial mode I'm sure there are many secret things in there to raise your score, as there are in all the carnival games.

It's definitely a cool idea and I hope we will use the score attack for the competition.

Yeah, we were going to use a combo of arcade mode and score attack to determine who wins.  It's time attack that gets tossed out the window.

That sounds great. Now we can list who wins the single player mode, time trial mode, and winner with best overall. Should be fun.  :mrgreen:

Score attack mode.  Not time trial mode.  They're different!

The "competition" topic will be posted in about a week.  Now is the time to start locating the game, and start thinking about finding a partner.

Ok, been practicing score attack mode and have learned two things.

1. Score attack mode rocks and would be great for a contest.
2. My reflexes have declined greatly over the years.

Cool idea though!
