Anyone else having trouble wit this one?

Playing the game in Chrome, if I jump over the first obstacle, it just goes on and on and on, without any further obstacles! I let it run for a couple of hours last night and it clocked up a score of over 400,000 which is fine, but there's no way out of it to log it as an entry for the comp. The only way to enter a score using Chrome seems to be to just hit the first obstacle.

Running it in Firefox works fine, with things to jump over then enters the score into the draw when you hit one.

Just tried it on both FF & Chrome & it was ok.
HTH

You need to zoom into 100% or zoom out to 90% to let it run for as long as you like then zoom in when you want it to stop lol

Easy pickings this game

The grand prize is a £1000 voucher for anyone who makes the leaderboard. So that's a 1 in 10 chance if you're on the leaderboard - pretty damn good odds for a £1000 prize.
Everyone on the top 10 leaderboard has clearly cheated and posted up ridiculously high scores - maybe if they weren't so greedy it wouldn't have been so obvious.
Anyway I don't see why someone cheating should win the top prize, so I've sent an email to savlon@thorntonross.com explaining that the game can be manipulated using the zoom in/out function and is open to cheating.
Also that the info on how to cheat the game was posted on a moneysavingexpert.com forum thread, which currently has over 3.1k views.
Hopefully they'll do the right thing and choose the prize winner randomly from everyone that enters - rather than the top 10 cheaters.
In the past comps using flash games have been cancelled because of cheating.
I hope that doesn't happen, but I'd prefer that than one of the cheaters walks away with the £1000 prize - which would be a slap in the face to genuine players.

the link to terms is on landing page:

https://www.savlon.co.uk/terms-conditions



everyone who plays the game gets an entry into the prize draw , so the more time you play, the more entries you have - there is no mention that you HAVE to be on the leaderboard to be entered

It's states that in the terms, but from when playing it states something different.
I believe there are 3 different prize draw types: Instant prize win, weekly prize draw, Grand prize draw.

Instant prize: I've no idea what pops up as I've not won one.
Weekly Prize: After every jump it says 'Congratulations you've got an entry into the weekly draw'
Grand Prize: After playing your 3 jumps it says 'your highest score could be added to our leaderboard and entered into our grand prize draw!'

So as you can see I'm not sure if every time you play you're being entered into the weekly draw or the grand draw; or maybe both. Hopefully it's both.

No mention of having to be on the leader board nor there being weekly draws?

gamesup

As I explained in post #9 - the t&c's have what you've wrote, but when you play the game after each go a pages pops up stating entry into weekly draw. Then after all 3 goes are used it pops up saying about leaderboard, grand draw etc.
