I'll start things off with 16,902

It looks like this game has keys i don't need to get.
In the screenshot below on level 1, there's no way out.


On level 2 i made the mistake of going down to get the 4 keys in the screenshot below, but once again it's a dead end.
That was my last life too.

You alwas have to look on the next screen to make sure there is a way out
Like on level two, the 4 doors at the beginning, there is no need to open those.

Congrats on your 1000

They are called Drones, I found that out in the manual.
My friend and I use to called it Electric Flower pot.

Link to manual


Another importing thing to know about is that the moving red things, the monitors, can be eleminated with a key.
I ran in to this situation yesterday, of course I was trying to avoid it but jumped right on it, and I was force to go in the "suicide pit" to pickup a key to open the last door.

Got to level 3.

Tip: On level 3, elevator screen, 2nd floor ... if you go left, do not jump to the 1st floor ... there is not way out.
I don't remember if there was any painting there. If so, we must finish the level there!

Another week would be good - you should try and beat Tom's score anyway and post it here even if it is past the deadline.
