MoneySaving - the Game

  • On my 4th attempt at this game I just got on a winning streak- I fed the baby, and ate my dinner while playing, but then I had to bail out as I have to put the kids to bed and I've wasted half the evening. I don't play computer games as a rule! At last count I had scored over 27,000- but the time didn't seem to be going down at all. I tried not gaining or losing points by avoiding Everything, but it didn't seem to work either- I only wanted to get on the leader board!! I tried to find a way to pause the game, or to end it without losing all the points, but could not, so I clicked for 'Main Site' and (I assume) lost my game!!!! So now I've wasted half the evening AND not got on the board!! Am I !!!!!! off!
    Please could you let me know if there is any way I could have committed financial suicide/ bailed out or ended the game early without losing my score, as it is unlikely I'll reach those dizzy heights again. Also, I suppose it's not possible to retrieve my score at all- I'm gutted!!
    Anyway, those kids have waited long enough- duty calls!! My husband (joking, I hope) threatened divorce at 23,000- but I'd only reached about 7,000 at the time, so it all seemed a bit remote!!

    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.

    Tried doing that on the pc and found that easier icon14.gif although when I jump I keep forgetting to move side to side too icon11.gif Managed to get to 1420 though and if I can break the 2000 barrier i'll be chuffed icon10.gif
    Same old same old since 2008

    I had the same problem. Reached ~11,000 with something like 0:0-54 time left and increasing! Some kinda bug I imagine.

    I thought something was up when i reached over 500! :D Oh well...

    I tried the game on Friday and again just now.....can only just manage 700......but its Martins fault!!!! I'd like to submit a complaint......he won't follow my directions properly and isn't running fast enough. He'll have to put in a bit of practice and perfect his jumping/catching skills!??!!?

    I have just spent hours on this game. I got up to over 24000! Yes and I am a 56 year old woman who has never played any pc games ever before!!! Something definitely must have gone wrong with the timing!! I have had to just decide to stop and shut it down. Something must have gone wrong I find it very hard to believe that I am any good at it.
