Is there a Problem with the Mario Game Scoring?

Post by Pelord »

It only happens with the Mario flash game, but every time I try to submit my score, it says I'm a cheater! It even called me a cheater when I fell in the first pit and died! No other game does this (and no, I don't cheat! :P)

:lol: That's weird... I played through the whole game without a hitch... even fell in a pit once and died myself :lol:

Did you play twice in the same session? Like via a "try again" link in the flash? That may have caused it...

I think I figured it out, actually beating the game allowed me to add my score to the high score table.

It seemed that dying in the game counts as completing it, and if you complete the game too 'fast', it considers you a cheater. At least that's what I would guess, considering that your time is recorded.

Hmmmmm... that is a possibility. So I guess ya have to win it all to get anywhere! :lol: Not too hard a feat really either, so the quick death bug shouldn't be too bad an issue :lol:

Well, since I'm on the subject, is the scoring for the Moon Lander game backwards? It seems that the longer you play, the higher the score you get, but isn't the point to complete the game in the fastest time possible?

I noticed that... that's a definite bug. The fuel meter is supposed to go down constantly, but for some reason in this one it doesn't... that one might not be a keeper considering :lol::p
