Saira - Challenges / Re: Beat my Dodgesquare2 score!

Dodgesquare 2? I'm in, but just where do you go to play it?

Well, I have to say I've indeed read some negative comments, but it'd be a grave mistake to think they represent the world's opinion of the game. Some people have a rather amazing ability to notice the small flaws of a product, no matter how good it is overall; and that is greatly accentuated in the Internet, because many people only post when they have a problem. If a guy buys this game and is very much enjoying it, chances are he won't write about it in this forum. But, if that same guy has a small problem with, say, the game's key config, 99% of the time he'll come here and rant about it.

If you want an example, just check out WaDF's page on jayisgames: the game has a rating of 4.96 out of 5, but those who voted 5 (the vast majority) tend not to post... most of the comments come from people flaming small details of the game they didn't like, and morons that decide to bash the game 'cause they're bored.

I love Saira (the music, the scenery, the story and the puzzles fit perfecly to create something unique), but I realise now I've never mentioned it. So, let me say it clearly: Nifflas, YOU ARE A GENIUS. Knytt and KS were very good, WaDF was perfect, and so is this game.

(EDIT: It's somewhat incredible, but someone (see below) managed to interpret that last paragraph of mine as a disrespect for Nifflas. Jus' in case it needs clarifying, he got it all wrong...)

I actually was aiming for a high score when I got the 55.. :/

Wait, what? Seriously? You get 290 points by doing absolutely nothing!

Well, I'm more or less as skilled at pinball as an epileptic monkey.
Anyway, I think I've managed to claim a record:

I find it hilarious how both highest and lowest score are both aimed for.  :D

(sorta offtopic) I tried Dodgesquare again, seems I can do somewhat better at that (5119). Does anyone remember the high score for that game? Somewhere on the 7000's, I think I read on the old forum

If you've got Vista or Windows 7, you should be able to mute individual programs. It'll mute the music, but the downside is that you won't hear any of the sound effects, either. :)

Didn't know you could do that without an extra program... can you tell me how? :)

Saira / Re: Spare key thread.

Still no word back from Candlelight on whether or not he/she is interested in my extra key.
I'm sorry for the delay, I had some studying to do... by the way, Muttroid sent me his key (thanks a lot, man!! I owe you one!)

No problem, glad I could help! Don't forget to do something for the dogs and cats at your local animal shelter. Pay that key forward!

Worry not! I'll definitely donate some cash to the volunteers. $17 seems fitting, doesn't it? My family already adopted a dog some 3 years ago.. one of the best decisions we've ever made

I feel like telling you about a surprise I received today... I come home after a rather atrocious exam, log in to the forum... and find a PM from Muttroid asking me if I'd like a key for the game.  :whoa: :^^:

I know this forum is special, but I'd never have thought someone'd actually give away a key to a complete stranger... hell, it's not just that we've never met in person, I don't even have 10 posts here..

THANK YOU, everyone..

Inquiry:

It seems to me like there is no way to turn off the sound. And since I'd much rather listen to the latest Converge record than any form of game music, this seems a little annoying. Any way of fixing this or do I just seem like an old man complaining about his neighbours playing too loud?

//Klämrisk

If there's a way to shut off the sound ingame, I don't know about it. You may want to try something like IndieVolume.
Anyway, the music in all of Nifflas' games fits in perfectly with the atmosphere, it's as much a part of the game as, say, the puzzles or the graphics... I'd recommend that you give it a try at least.

Really? They don't even trust PayPal?

Well they didn't even know what it is, and they googled it and happened to find this page: http://www.paypalsucks.com/, so, long story short, I can't really say they trust it :/

Hey there!
It'd be useful to know more details about your computer (at least OS and gfx card)
In the meantime, try updating your graphics card driver. It solves many more problems than you'd think, and can't hurt anyway

My sissy excuse is that I have no way to get the money to Nifflas, 'cause I'm too young to have a paypal account. I'd gladly pay the 17 bucks for the game, but I guess it'll have to wait.
Can't you arrange something with your parents? Like that they keep it from your allowance? Or perhaps get the game for Christmas? :)
Well, I tried already, but no luck... My parents (and family) are completely computer illiterate, they're the kind that believe that paying through the Internet will get them scammed and lose all the money in their bank account.

Better yet! This one took quite a bit of planning (and luck...)
Let's see if I can get 0

No matter how hard I try, I can't get over 3k.
I did however manage to get a rather meritorious score of 55. Think you can score lower than that?  8)

Jayisgames! That'll definitely bring some publicity
