GO GO MILE SMILE SCORES (with comments)

Pts Name Score Comment
10 Chris MCBL 816,600 Its a game of risk vs Reward. Definitely needs a 4-way stick.
9 Charliefar 559,760 Game feels easier for a few levels after level 10. Quite satisfying to find patterns to clear levels in one swoop.
8 Matt P 431,540 Long time listener of the great Ten Pence Arcade Podcast. First time submitting a score. Getting a bit frustrated with them annoying clowns on level 10 but managed to get past them earlier and got over 400k 🙂
7 Sull 394,940 This a massive protruding egg of chick fun. Tantalisingly close to 400k!
6 Neil 20to5 375,920 Got it running on my laptop now. Arrow keys from hell! But at least I can play…
5 Sal Bug 369,300 I wasn’t too crazy about this one you guys. It kinda grew on me but then the difficulty leveled off and it just feels like you can’t do any better.
4 Mark Sharples 356,540 My continued avoidance of the X Factor is paying off – stupid mistake cost me getting to stage 11
3 Shaun 346,860  
2 Edd Horse 346,340 Enjoy the trip @tenpencearcade . Last score, managed to bait some enemies better.
1 Ben Granville 317,420 Good game but I don’t see myself ever playing it again.
1 Bill Wellham 285,000 This is another one of those games that I wouldn’t have played until this weeks podcast. Japanese Cute Factor 10 for sure. I think I need sunglasses to play this one. Good mechanics and playability. But I think level 10 is my limit. Nice choice lads.
1 HeIsJimmi 276,720 mmm tic tacs… Like this one. Have a blast across the pond… Look forward to hearing all about the tour on the next episode…
1 Ian Cullen 263,500  
1 Michael Wortmann 254,560 Susume!! Mile Smile makes you smile all the while. 🙂 Great game! Found out recently that you can retract your chick by pressing the button..always manouvered it by hand, lost many lives and cursed bitterly.
1 Brian Haribo 248,040 Meh!
1 Matthew Bridge 241,940 never judge a game by its name. Fun, addicting! Wish I was better at it
1 Steve Tyke 238,940 Go Go! Mile Smile definitely easier to read than the Japanese version. Another game desperately needing a fourway stick.
1 Bulla 217,920 Not bad but a bit of a comedown after two cracking picks. Those bastard clowns wouldn’t let me finish lvl 10!
1 Trollnads 214,780 Getting a banker in, In case I don’t get the chance to play it again before the deadline.
1 BoomGoPinball 204,180 killer clowns ahhhhh
1 Cian Horse 196,440  
1 Victor 192,000  
1 Phil Horse 191,630  
1 Stacey King 189,960 Almost gave up on this game then two things happened; 1) discovered retract button; 2) swapped joystick for PS4 pad for better 4-way control. Much better.
1 Matt NeoMK 182,720 Struggling for time lately. Nice game design with cute touches. Not my sort of thing, but its different enough to return to occasionally.
1 Flash 179,800 That’s the best I can do. I don’t know if it was my controller but felt like I was constantly fighting to get the dam thing to go in right direction. Fun little game just frustrated me.
1 Chris ++ 176,080 This game is a lot of fun, but if you want to play the best Anteater clone (a clone that’s more fun than Anteater itself, in my opinion), you’ve got to boot up Oil’s Well by Sierra Online.
1 Paul McCaskie 175,180 I missed the last game, which seemed fun, so getting an early score in on this one. Seems quite entertaining
