Monthly High Scores - November 2021 / December Challenge



Welcome new and veteran players! Thank you for playing and competing in the :solaroidsS::solaroidsO:ːsolaroidsLːːsolaroidsAː:solaroidsR::solaroidsO::solaroidsI:ːsolaroidsDː:solaroidsS: monthly high score challenge.

Congratulations to all!

[h3]1st - Piegos / 102,639,940[/h3]
Piegos takes the lead once more with a score of 102,639,940 after falling to 2nd place for October, . Welcome back to the top! Piegos continues to hold 10th place in the all-time scores, and this score came pretty close to beating their all-time high! Congratulations!

[h3]2nd - Starcrunch/ 34,030,800[/h3]
Starcrunch is back after a long break from the periodic boards and takes 2nd place this month with a score of 34,030,800. Starcrunch currently holds 9th place in the all-time high scores! Welcome back!

[h3]3rd - Beezle / 3,981,345[/h3]
With a score of 3,981,345, Beezle takes 3rd place this month. I think this may be the first month Beezle joins the top three for the month. Congratulations!

If any of you top players have the hardware and want to stream your attempts to the Steam Store page, let me know and I can work with you to get you access.

Note: Only the First Credit leaderboards are used for the monthly challenge.

[h2]Extra Challenge - NOT COMPLETED!! ːsteamsadː[/h2]

Solaroids seems to continue to be in a lull after a long streak of players filling the monthly boards for most of 2021. Unfortunately we didn't quite fill the boards this month. We are getting closer, only missed it by 2 scores. Maybe December we will be back in full swing.

As a reminder, and challenge for next month. If the monthly boards are full I have Solaroids OST digital cards/keys for those in the winner’s circle. Use it yourself, give it away, or sell it if you can. The soundtrack is no longer tied to the game, it's been freed from DLC prison.

I've figured out an easier way to communicate to individual players is through the Steam Group Chat feature in the Community Hub ːsteamhappyː. Join the group chat and let me know, and I can transfer the card/code to you via a direct message. If you already have one and don't want another, also ping me in the Group Chat in the Steam Community HUB, or like I said, pass it on to someone that might enjoy it ːsolaroidshaloː.



I'll be keeping this extra challenge open for a while, so we'll see if there are enough competing players next month!

Cheers!

[h2]Extra Challenge - NOT COMPLETED!! ːsteamsadː[/h2]

After a long streak of players filling the monthly boards for all of 2021 so far, unfortunately we didn't quite fill the boards this month. Hopefully everyone is enjoying the summer, if you're on the northern hemisphere, and getting out and about with a bit of a "break" from the dreaded corona.

As a reminder, and challenge for next month. If the monthly boards are full I have Solaroids OST digital cards/keys for those in the winner’s circle. Use it yourself, give it away, or sell it if you can. The soundtrack is no longer tied to the game, it's been freed from DLC prison.

Monthly High Scores - July 2021 / August Challenge



Welcome new and veteran players! Thank you for playing and competing in the :solaroidsS::solaroidsO:ːsolaroidsLːːsolaroidsAː:solaroidsR::solaroidsO::solaroidsI:ːsolaroidsDː:solaroidsS: monthly high score challenge.

Congratulations to all!

[h3]1st - Harnulfson / 123,533,795[/h3]
Harnulfson is back on top for July with a score of 123,533,795. Welcome back to the monthly ranks! Harnulfson current holds 7th place in the all-time global high scores.

[h3]2nd - Piegos / 88,761,700[/h3]
Piegos slips to 2nd this month with an early-in-the-month entry of 88,761,700 topping their score last month by about almost 8 million. We still know Piegos has some surprises, as they currently hold 10th place in the all-time scores with an over 25 million lead over their July run.

[h3]3rd - Arcadae / 29,757,410[/h3]
Welcome back Arcadae! Arcadae takes 3rd place for July with a score of 29,757,410, topping their previous best (last December) and settling them into into 19th place overall in the all-time board.

If any of you top players have the hardware and want to stream your attempts to the Steam Store page, let me know and I can work with you to get you access.

Note: Only the First Credit leaderboards are used for the monthly challenge.

[h2]First Documented High Score Challenge Run?[/h2]

As a side note, I learned that Arcadae is a regular streamer on Twitch where they are an infamous "head in a bottle" on the adcockm channel.

You can check out the channel and video that contains the Solaroids run HERE.

Thank you Arcadae/adcockm for testing out the new performance fixes - I'll get on that space-time discontinuity that you encountered late in your run right away!

[h2]Extra Challenge - COMPLETED!! ːsteamhappyː[/h2]

We made it again -- The monthly boards are full. I have Solaroids OST digital cards/keys for those in the winner’s circle. Use it yourself, give it away, or sell it if you can. The soundtrack is no longer tied to the game, it's been freed from DLC prison.

I've figured out an easier way to communicate to individual players is through the Steam Group Chat feature in the Community Hub ːsteamhappyː. Join the group chat and let me know, and I can transfer the card/code to you via a direct message. If you already have one and don't want another, also ping me in the Group Chat in the Steam Community HUB, or like I said, pass it on to someone that might enjoy it ːsolaroidshaloː.
