Some Dutch player just made over 100K points score, I myself didn't think this was possible!
Hey dude, please post something here, I really want to know more about your record ;-)
It was me....... Andreas
What to tell about the 100k? finish tour levels quick and clean.
Every round the bonus gets higher. Finish 4 rounds and you wil reach 100k.

p,s to the programmer of Redux. a BIG compliment to your work: The best donkey rework i've ever seen. You missed 1 little thing: back in the 80's you could jump out of the screen in level 3. This cleared the level very fast.....
Hi Andreas, thanks for your comment, I really put a lot of hours into this project so it's great to receive good feedback ;)
Finishing the 4 rounds is already too difficult some some players, doing it more than one time in a raw is for pro players :-)
What about the level 3 bug, is there a video you can link so I can check how was that?
Last, did you try the 4 extra levels? For level 5 I mantained the same style but then I wanted to add some extravagance :)
It's obvious that you put in a lot of hours, as i said very good job you've done.
When i play i can finish level 1 and 2 ( 8 rounds ) with 1 mario :-)
About the extra levels: i finished level 5 and gave up on level 6, in my opinion there is to much "waiting" time in it. For that reason i stopt trying to manage 6, 7 and 8. The style of the levels is okay, it looks nice but i like the old stuf 1,2,3,4 and all over again....
I prefer running with mario quiting the rounds as quick as possible.
The glitch in round 1 (ladders and barrels ) in level 3 was up on the first ladder. At the very very end, on a certain point mario turned the back at you, than you had to jump to the right en mario was gone and the level fnished. He didn't bounce back at the invisible wall. You had to be quick because of the approching barrals. I bet there are no video's of it. Back then we had no smartphones with camera, ( but we where happy hahaha )
Then there was another thing i now remember. We called it holding hands, on top of the ladder. In a certain position barrels did not come of the ladder and gave some relaxing time.
It's a long time ago, i was 11 when donkey came. In 1986 we almost went broke on this game hahaha

Thanks for the added info Andreas.
Coding the glitch would be quite easy to implement but I would still need to see it myself in order to take the correct timing (I count the frames and the pixels literally one by one). At the end I think very few players would know about it anyway :-)
So it seems that I am one year older than you, I also played DK in the arcades it was one of my favourites and it still is.
How did you end up here, are you also coming from the DK forum community?
Hi There, it's been a while since i was playing Donkey Kong, my last post here was about a year ago.
I didn't came from the DK forum. I bought a raspberry pi and after that was running i would also play DK on my laptop. After some searching i found your site. Because of the good comments here i decided to install it on my laptop.
Even now it is still my favorite game, also without the glitch :-) Leave is like it is, it's perfect !
There is only one minor.... i can't beat my own highscore.
talking about highscore.... the leaderboard function isn't working anymore. Has it moved?
Do i have to re-install the game?
Many greetting from the Netherlands.
