Look at the how score now. 10101010101010101 whatever. There is no way to beat that.
ewen said:i suggest that we either all start cheating using the above cheat, get a score high enough for the leaderboard and then putting as our name "cheating going on" or something....

some people have figured out that by linking to the flash file within a cutomised html page that they can enable the right-click menu, therefore being able to rewind/forward the game nilly-willy to the start/ceratin level, keeping the score and reseting the timer and increasing the score by playing the 't-shirt' level (screen 4), hence the stupid high scores you see.

You clearly know a lot about this stuff. I don't know anything... but I didn't have to link "to the flash file within a customised html page" to pop-up the menu with play/back options. I just right clicked on the original page. Does the browser I'm using make a difference? I'm using Netscape.
Anyway, I figured out how the "the stupid high scores" were achieved...replaying the end of the game over and over for 1,000 points each time. The time stops after the first time you do this, so you can keep playing the game forever. Obviously someone spent a lot of time to get the current "high score" or perhaps as you suggested...found a way to simply enter any score they wanted. How sad.

atikicat said:They reset the score boards on both the u2.com and cd:uk Vertigo games. Wonder how long it will last? I determined that the maximum score anyone can acheive on this game now without cheating is 1660 points. This is basically impossible, because to do this you would have to pick up every point from every red object in the game and do it fast enough (without dying) to still receive the full 1,000 point bonus given by the red marks at the end of the game (the longer it takes to get there, the smaller the bonus is).
When you start seeing scores of 1660 and higher...you'll know the cheaters are back!
