Tournament of Melonland 4: Hyperrogue

ToM: Tournament of Melonland - Instance 4: Hyper Rogue

Description


Hyper Rogue is a roguelite where you roam through places that follow a logic entirely different from our world. A fantasy-game par excellence! Travel through different, non-euclidian planes and collect treasure - but be careful: If the inhabitants of those worlds checkmate you, your journey ends ;).

The game might seem  a bit hard to get in at the beginning, but it is easier than it looks - and well worth your time!


How to get it?
HyperRogue can be freely downloaded at https://zenorogue.itch.io/hyperrogue
You need Version A130a. Linux Users need either to compile themself or play the game via Wine (or get the identical, but precompiled Steam Version).


Tournament

Target:
Collect as many orbs as possible in classic mode. Highest score wins.

Joining:
No need to register beforehand. Just play and post a screenshot with your score, either on the end screen or the highscore list.

I will then update the table in the first post in this thread.
Feel free to submit multiple scores! I will always use your best, and it helps to build some tension and competition :).

Duration:
Submissions close as the forum closes on Monday, the 04.03.24. I will update the results and call out the Winner on the Tuesday afterwards.

General Information:
Use this thread to post your times or to discuss this competition! If you have suggestions for future competitions, about the rules, and so on, please post them in this thread. Helps to keep the overview ;).

What an intriguing game! I got 28 before I became trapped with a living wall and was consumed by ghosts (relatable  )

Updated!.

Didn't managed to boot the game up till now x). Tomorrow for sure.

[xXWebMasterXx_Gina]

Woah!! This is brilliant! I've never played anything like this before; It looked simple at a glance but the way each world has unique mechanics gives this so much depth!

The only negative I have is that the perspective is a bit disorienting 

I managed a score of 58 in 666 turns! 

[ThunderPerfectWitchcraft]

Glad you like it :). Yes, this game is great - I also took much fun (and inspiration) out of it, but I'm absolutely not sure what my best score was until now; I will see how far I get tonight :D.

There are various options to tweak the graphics, but I never experimented much with them.


edit:
Got a good one:
