It's that time again!
i've set up everything thru my iPad, so I'm sorry if it isn't that good looking :)
Props to teamaxe for all the banners and to Flunkie for the Touch Gaming's op!

Following the smashing success (more than 60 gaffers took a chance at the top) of the CANANBALT NeoGAF's Challenge, we're finally set to start a new
iOS GAF's WEEKLY CHALLENGE!

It's not at all forbidden to post about the challenge in the usual Touch Gaming thread like we did for Tiny Tower, Tiny Wings and many other games of course, but the specific thread is here with the purpose to avoid the flood of posts sinking all the others for a whole week.
We also have prizes! Check below for all the infos.
________________________________________

The game chosen is:

•Mr. Ninja #GAME MODE: SUPERCHAIN

•Challenge's Times:

#STARTS August 1st, 00:01 (AM) GMT - *update: Contest has started!*
#ENDS: August 7th, 22:00 GMT Contest is OVER

Current GMT / World Time


-RULES:

•To participate you just need the game and to add me on Game Center (Dash Kappei GAF). As soon as you fire up the game and play it for the first time while being signed in Game Center, you'll be part of the Challenge. That's it.
*Add "From GAF," and your nickname on GAF or I won't add you*.
•GAFFers only, I won't accept requests from non-gaffers. Sorry lurkers.
•Check the Master List Membership (info section below) if you want to add others, but being on the list isn't mandatory to play.
•Scores are valid only for the "This Week" section on the leadearboards and those scores made before the challenge won't be counted for the full final results, even if mistakenly counted during the challenge.
•You can still enter the Challenge even if it has already started, granted I'm able to accept your GC's friend request on time. You can join the contest at any time, even if there's just an hour to go.
•Posting your new scores in this thread is encouraged as well as posting your Game Center profile for others to check on your score when you do so. This is not at all mandatory anyway.

wait, the time was correct, it was just the I had edited the start time in the Op.

I sent you a game center friend request
Accepted :)
Remember that if you also want to be on the Master list (if you aren't already in it of course) you need to send me a pm with the infos... Although this is not needed to be a part of the contest.

Still lists all time scores for me for some reason, no idea why. Same thing on "Today" scoreboard too. Urgh. I hope it's registering my scores at least, I actually just broke my all time personal score, haha. Woo

Should be 290k...but it hasn't updated on my leaderboard. Hmmm, I wonder if my game is screwed up.

I have you at 275k both all time and this week. Are you sure it registered your Game Center signup when you started the game? Obviously those scores won't count!

Neat game. Up to about 331k. Can anyone tell me what the super chain time does?
Slicing the stars enter you in super chain time where your multiplier will keep increasing with each enemy slashed even if it’s not consecutively.
 
Man, I would jump on this pronto but I just recently sold my iPod touch to help fund an iPad purchase sometime soon. I'll be back then ;)

Just remember that any score done before the actual time agreed, even if displayed on the This Week leaderboard, will NOT be accounted for.
I took multiple screenshots of the leaderboards @10 minutes ago, just in case there's some confusion.

I have 57 gaffers who are playing the game in Super Chain mode already, this should be fun :)

I'm in! Hey I checked weekly leaderboard stats and global #1 is about 540K, so it's not impossible to beat 350K but probably extremely hard ;)

Any tips on scoring high?
Pretty much what Dante said. You want to get a perfect on every single enemy up to at least 190/200 chains in order to get where Koodo's at. The thing is, super chain allows you to maintain your combo string, but a huge part of your score lies in the bonus you get for a perfect kill string. So you'll want to maintain your combo and then hit the second star without a miss, or else your combo resets. The thing is, once you hit the second star the game gets considerably harder. Real tough for sure

Hey Dash Kappei, what scores are in the top 5?
374k at the top
292k for fifth place

it's a bitch right now to check the scores, first because there's the real names thing so I'd have to look up who's who on the lisf and it takes a long time (fuck this, yesterday I had the "nickname" while today I have the real names.. People should really 'learn' to hide their real name on game center :p)
secondly because there's still leftovers on the weekly leaderboards from before the challenge, so we need to wait for people to improve their scores (and they will, Cananbalt was CRAZY) to have a clearer situation.

After that it'll be easy to post scores.
By all means a cool way is what Koodo is doing, posting screens of his scores. Of course you could also just post your score, since I will see of it's legit or not in the end anyway.
Also, you guys should add your GC profile at least once in your posts here, so (if you/others want) other challengers can add you without scouting all the names on the Master List.

My best so far. I don't think I missed a single guy, either, so how people get 375k much less 500k is a mystery to me.

Oh yeah, my GC is: VALIS666

Well this was a quick challenge! I haven't even had time to get a score for this week but there's no way in hell I'm going to get near Koodo. Next time we need something easier, or something Koodo sucks at!
