Complete rules are at http://www.leosfortune.com/contest-rules/ Good luck!
Wow! I suck at games, but will try my best to do this! That is a huge itunes gc, and this is an awesome game!!!!
Sounds very interesting. I've heard good things about the game but I haven't try it yet. So you're saying no one has completed this task yet? Is this even doable?
One of the devs said he got to the last level. Yeah nobody beat this challenge. I could manage up to level 14/20 with the number one having 16/20 IIRC. Not so easy.
Are these the same rules as listed on the contest website. The one play through comment seem different than what's listed on the website.
Hardcore mode is not necessarily very difficult in theory, but in practice you need to keep your focus all the way through the game. You usually don't die from the tricky bits, but instead it's the parts where you feel confident that will get you. A false sense of security can easily get you to drop your guard. My advice is to play through the game in normal mode first and list all the parts that you find difficult. Then you practice on each of those segments until you've mastered them. Usually you can go through a segment and then kill yourself at the end to restart right before it. That way you can practice a segment over and over without having to restart the whole level. In the end it's down to how much you've practiced. If there are a number of segments where you will die 50% of the time, then you need a lot of luck to beat Hardcore. But if you improve your skill so that you only die 10% of the time, you have a pretty good shot.
Damn I want to download the game just to enter this now lol, $5 isn't bad for an entry to win an iPad if you can beat it
There is no difference. Hardcore mode is beating the game without dying in one playthrough (which is unlocked after beating the game normally). This is about half right. The contest itself is open to everyone to get your their placed in the credits. But due to legal regulations, we must restrict prizing to the US.
well, from one side, any contest or prize from the developer is the gesture of a good will, you don't have to do that, I understand, but from the other side, this'll give you some publicity and sales increase, there's no doubt about that don't get me wrong, we're buying the app (not the contest), I'm just saying it seems a bit unfair to ask the same price from non US costumers considering the advantage this game is offering now
This is really challenging and I'm not sure I'm going to make it. To quote by hero Zapp Brannigan, "The spirit is willing but the flesh is spongy and bruised."
That's right, Leo's Hardcore Challenge is now CLOSED. Thanks for the interest and entries, everyone. We'll be announcing the winners soon on Facebook and Twitter if you'd like to follow along.
