I've been playing for the last 30 minutes - great fun but the closest I've got so far is just a tad bit off 2300 - I am gunning for the top 10!

I am useless at this sort of thing I got -10

Woohoo! someone that's worse than me

Sorry

[amateur_saver]

I was really 'pants' at it, which was a bit disheartning ! Never mind, I think it was probably because I was laughing so much at Martins little legs running backwards and forwards....

Determined to get in the top 10 !

I have a feeling this is the "thin end of the wedge".

If you "double your spending power", and, within that "offer" period, you "double your spending power" again, then surely your spending power should be quadrupled. As a consumer I'm disappointed that these further offers are not honoured.

Have you been stealing these "half-truths" from the sofa companies, Martin ;-)

[MSE Martin]

Dear Mr. Stdevel

Your concerns have kindly been noted, and in accordance with the terms and conditions laid out in the game, section ii. subsection 6.4. You will note that any current laid offers are superserviant to the preceeding offers and therefore act to replicate as opposed to duplicate the existing offers. Hence in reply to your pursuant question, i can confirm the situation is, as had been aforemention stated, impicitly accurate and equitable.

I hope this clears the matter up.

Kind regards

Martin Lewis

Martin, can't you run any faster than that for goodness sake!

Even my bestest attempt only gets about £500 and you are still telling me I'm a pile of pants. Come on, what's the secret to getting thousands then??

I've got too good for that , i'm up to 700 now

im writing a strategy guide to the game. Make sure you jump! and grab the tip! and the credit cards! those are the keys

[pug_in_a_bed]

gah!! something else to distract me!!

[welshlady2k2]

What an addictive game!!! I'm never going to be in the top 10 but i'm going to keep trying. At least im out of the minus now

I use 2 fingers for moving side to side , so I find it very difficult to jump at the same time

Perhaps it would be easier on the pc rather than the laptop Will give it a try later

instead of using the 'up' arrow you can use the spacebar to jump. I seem to be better coordinated with two hands!

And I just thought, to spread the word about the game even further, we could try and get it on the fhm games site, which is really popular. All everyone needs to do is send an email with the game link in it to games@fhm.com . Who knows Martin could make it to number 1!!

[Pink-winged]

Sheel, I couldn't get the hang of that for a while, now I use two fingers on my right hand for the arrow keys and my left hand on the space bar to jump.

we definately found it much quicker on the pc than the laptop

[Edinburghlass]

but the funniest way of playing it is to hit all three keys at the same time and Martin's goes flying about with both wee legs running

Doesn't get you many points but you do get a laugh

[mramoeba]

well i studied the game a couple of times, picked the mobile phone i wanted and got that and i am afraid to say my prudence was rewarded with mockery. its grand theft auto all over again, 4 and a half weeks i waited at that bus stop, i expect as soon as i switched it off 3 probably turned up.
