1000 Heroz for iphone/ipad - Custom League: ILX

Red Lynx, maker of TrialsHD, presents an iOS game where each day you have 24 hours to do a different 20/30 second platform race. Getting gold is easy but you're competing against everyone in the world... including Mordy who has lots of free time.

Hard to beat for a buck! Join us and let's talk trash.

So floaty! So obsessive!
Jumping on the car as it flies down the hill and off the ramp feels very important.

"floaty" is not something I even vaguely enjoy (hence my numerous anti-LBP rants). Cool idea though.

We are currently in the Ancient Age of Hungry Lizards.

to come:

The Hungry Age of Famished Farmers
The Idyllic Age of Wood
The Nasty Age of Shivering in the Dark
The Age of Uncomfortable Boat Journeys (ANTICIPATING!)
The Age of Happy Motoring

i'm not down with it if it's a hindrance but in this case the floatiness IS the game though

the clip on the website didn't make it look like my cuppa. Looked "negative floaty", but I'll take your word for it,

It's a lot of fun. Also -- I will beat all of you.

it is 99 cents

Mordy, I wish there was a way to watch your replays

i'm such a putz: i bought the iphone version for my pad.
figure it's worth another two bucks given that i plan to play the shit out of this for about the next two years or so.

yeah, replay recording or shared ghosts would DEFINITELY help. I have no idea how people are getting sub 15 second runs on this map.

For posterity: Day 3 ILX board and my <3 score on global board.

TIMES, man it's about TIMES

u can post the Times :)

just to mitigate the embarrassment a little, I downloaded/played that level about 8 minutes before the deadline. In the future, I plan to elevate myself to "weak/mediocre" level

basic question - what are the stars for?

scoring? like if you just play the shit out of the game, you can boost your score regardless?

Hate you all for making me play this.

How do you guys have so much higher scores despite not having much higher times?

Just by having more attempts I guess? So you could probably make a case for low scores and fast times trumping high scores and fast times.

can't wait for tomorrow's level - i really suck ass at this one. i can't even get the gold, whereas i got the gold relatively easily with the first 3

maybe if egga concentrated less on getting laid and more on controlling her wild flip-flappin', i'd have a gold time by now

btw bri11iam is this guy

what the hell i got stuck in a bridge

I'm josephcotten.

Damn yall got busy

Afaict scores are only correlated to times.

yeah, seems like that to me too. which again begs the question, what are the stars for?

dang mordy

Spent a looong time on >20 seconds but eventually got the hang of it a bit. I see that I'm already back down from third to sixth though.

haven't seen a decent ilx competish since desktop dungeons v. 1.0000million years ago, this is nice

even if the game controls like trying to fart in a jar

first place! (with a mere 22 hours left)

Day 3 Run Results

*wins "within a second of mordy" bonus prize*

so close

man i am just the worst at this

I think that was day 4 actually. xxp

i can't imagine this'll last but...

http://i53.tinypic.com/2myp2iw.png

Wow, nice time!

There are 12 people on the ILX leaderboard for today...that's pretty awesome!

Dayan83, you put up a hard fight but...

Day 6
http://i56.tinypic.com/2ci6uy8.png

i'm not even sure i played that one!

How come Mordy's cavepeople have jetpacks.

Hate you all for making me play this.

Dayan83, you put up a hard fight but...

game recognize game

ps i have like no fucking idea where you got that extra eight-tenths of a second

I really really hope they add the Trials HD killer app: video replays of the top runs.

I've not bothered with trying for that up and over more than a couple of times. Beginning to wonder if it's possible to skip the swing ledge bit entirely though.

i've been up there too but i can't see how it helps

maybe if you just hit every blob and bounce your way through it

I cut about a second off my time going over, but I think part of it was that I nailed the second half for once. I don't think you need it.

actually hate this level, too much pfaff not enough flow

roll on next level

yeah by far the worst so far

I will disagree because it's the first level I got a good score on. Haha

Stop moving your big fucking head

i guess i'm not very observant, because i just now noticed the whole Hall of Records on the main menu screen. it's pretty cool!

Gold 9800
#158/20,442 Global Ranking
185.53 distance run
1704 restarts
170.4 avg. restarts per level (!)

and this should be most interesting for the purposes of this thread:

http://i55.tinypic.com/6pnguu.png

didn't realize it was keeping a cumulative ranking for all of us. time to get even MORE SERIOUS

7300 gold
181 avg restarts
190 miles run

8619 gold
382.5 av. restarts!
140.78 distance run

need to cut down on those restarts then.

holy crap @ mordy's gold

I plan to buy a villa w/ it and retire from this game.

you've got 990 dayz to go. then you can retire as a true heroz

have officially reached the "YOU FUCKING CUNT" screaming stage ;_;

"have you forgotten?"

Currently leading by a massive 0.001 seconds. Wow.

Wait, I can't read times apparently. Still, didn't think that was going to last.

It's quite close now between the clear leading group of Sndrngrbot, Jospehcotten and ZS25 in the cumulative rankings.

I don't think the other two have played today so it won't be that close by tomorrow.

Unless they forget. :X

i've been too busy to play the last few days. I only got 3-4 runthroughs today before i had to put it down. however, on day 993, when i'm the only person in the entire world who is still playing, i will be laughing maniacally at the top of the rankings

obv if i'd been playing from day one i'd be all over yo asses.

I finally got an iPhone back and proceeded to get this game because of this thread. Its killing me. Im first on the ilx group today yay me and all my free time! Also ledge otm

Ok, I'm going crazy on today's level, I really don't know how i'm supposed to do a 20.3s run to get a gold star. I'm like .5s away from that time!

i have no idea about this one either, i'm not even under 21s and already out of ideas.

yeah, i gave up on it pretty quick

Apparently you figured it out sonderangerbot ^^. I was driving all day long so I didn't get a chance to crack it. Anyways today's course is a lot more to my liking.

Best showing yet just now!

think this might be the first time i've gotten gold? and on the second complete run /braggin

The app keeps crashing every time I open it. Anyone else have that? I can't play this anymore :(

Try deleting the app and reinstalling it.

DAMN YOU SNDRNGRBT! can you not just let a dude win a level every now and then!

I hate levels where you have to successfully navigate a bouncy ball to keep moving forward.

I feel like I should apologize to yesterday's level after playing today's obnoxious level, ugh.

ha yeah you can have this one, ledge... didn't think it could get more annoying than the triple-branch whatever that thing is but i was wrong.

it's good when you get lucky on an obnoxious level, but yeah playability value in this is repeating and finessing yr previous attempts, obnoxious randomness spanners that up.

so it looks like we get a new level type (i.e. not stone age) every 80 days? bit of a long wait.

sonderangerbot is in the global top ten today.

well i knew it wouldn't last... you were ahead of me in the all time rankings before today's level so i felt i had to step up my game.

just started playing today's level and am i mistaken or did i see sndrngrbt go from nowhere to #1 with a bullet, with a time over 2 seconds faster than i was clocking in my first fumbling attempts? what the hell is your secret!

i'm afraid it comes down to too much free time. but i had sort of a breakthrough on today's level when i jumped across the platform in the beginning instead of bouncing off it.

Wait, did you pass my time? I was in the top 25!

iainif bringing some sick times lately!

top five yesterday, pretty crazy

This guy in 51st place is driving me insane.

The second age is about to start, I think!

lol the feeling's mutual i assure you. second age should begin day after tomorrow yeah, will be fun to see how much difference that makes.

gonna miss all the fun, won't be able to play for the next three weeks. oh well. at least i'll be in MADAGASCAR!

Seemingly hasn't changed much except now there are cannons, and my dude is a little better dressed.

i'm a lot more concerned right now about this komax74 dude, where the hell did he come from!?

Are you guys having any issues with the cannons? Sometimes they won't fire at all and I just run out the other side. Their firing distance seems completely arbitrary other than the fact that holding right is a good thing.

holding right and jumping i guess? they also seem to tilt completely at random, a lot of the time they just shoot you straight forward. can't believe we waited 80 days for this tbh.

This was cute:
