Right, well, I know I haven't come close to beating Alice who I think plays this game every day on a professional level, but I did better than I ever have before! Good grief, this game is so damned good. So I'm feeling oddly competitive, despite knowing Alice is a squillion times better at this game than me. I've also seen Alice's bragging about how she's already got a score about a million times higher than I'll ever get. I've played Devil Daggers before, so I know how astonishingly terrible I am at it. John says: Okay, I'm writing this before I start. Still, Devil Daggers is good, isn't it? I regret not having more time to dedicate to beating Alice's time, which I surely could if only everything wasn't different and against me and also maybe Adam was in control of time. "Oh, where I train normally the pole I leap over is a different colour." I don't know what the olympic equivalent of this kind of whining is. These are my excuses for why my submitted time is less than a minute. Since then the game has been updated, new monsters have been added, and my times have been wiped from the leaderboard. Graham says: I love this game, and I dedicated many a work minute when I should have been doing something else to getting to a point where playing Devil Daggers took almost two work minutes. It is a distillation of every videogame in history: There are lots of things and you have to kill the things before the things kill you. I am frightened of Devil Daggers and I don’t understand why. The time I finally settled with was 66 seconds. I probably croaked it because I was panicking to find the screenshot key more often than I died of “normal” circumstances. Brendyīrendy says: This was the last thing I saw before I died in one of my Devil Daggers runs. I must confess that I did abuse a performance-enhancing cocktail I call Satan's Stiletto - a glass of Shiraz to calm the nerves then Irn Bru for pep. This here isn't a good time or a good performance but I hope it's good enough. I certainly can't rest on former glories either, as after the update's leaderboard reset I can't use my old personal best. AliceĪlice says: I was once RPS's strongest Devil Daggers player but while that does give me confidence, I also have something to lose. I’d have tried for more if it hadn’t been for the sure knowledge that Alice and Adam were already locked in fearsome competition for scores I could never even dream of reaching. Anyway, 69 seconds isn’t bad going for me – I’m normally splatted by the 50s point. I’d love to play this in god mode, not to cheat a high score but just to sit back and admire it in full, gothic bloom. AlecĪlec says: My main handicap with Devil Daggers is that I think the thing’s so damned beautiful that I’m always trying to take a closer look at its wonderful pixel-horrors or grab a well-framed screenshot that I end getting bashed in the back of the head by a skull or spiderling or whatever. Killed by the distraction of giant ticks. What I'm trying to say is that I tried just once this morning in between packing my bags and.well. I'm a very important person, with limited time to dagger devils. I'm needed elsewhere, for ambassadorial work and research into future-sports, so I can't devote my body and mind to entertaining the masses right now. This is the pain of the international video athlete's life. And I'm about to go and catch a flight to Cologne for Gamescom. I can't check because, as you can see on the screenshot below, my internet connection has perished. I reckon I could be a close contender for second place and am going to claim, with no evidence, that my high score is 78 seconds. It's the marquee event and in Alice we have, I suspect, our very own Usain Bolt. You can have as many turns as you like but can only submit one score for the competitionĪdam says: The 100m sprint of the RPS Summer Games.Now it's time to see if those snatched minutes of training have paid dividends. I admired it from afar when it came out, but around half the staff got really competitive, sneaking off for "email" breaks which coincided with a "so-and-so is playing Devil Daggers Steam notification. A glorious first person arena shooter with a graphical style determined to catapult us back into the nineties. The last of the high-score events on the RPS Summer Games schedule is Devil Daggers.
