Thomas J. Mitchell has programmed only Oil's Well?
I hope such a talented programmer/designer has done other games.

Thank you Jason for letting me discover this awesome game!

Here is my high score: 105890.

[atariron82]

This game is fun, but challenging. I haven't had much time to figure out a pattern past level 3. Some of these scores are incredible so there must be some tricks I have yet to learn:

Jason,
why players ranked from #4 to #7 have 10000 points bonus?
I don't know others but I haven't seen the "stock certificate" screen so I think I have not completed the game.
If Marius have completed the game I will lose a position but I don't want a place that I don't deserve!

[edit]I assumed (probably wrongly) that those sort of scores would be people who had completed level 8 (where you see the certificate). If you're sure you didn't (or anyone else)please let me know and I'll correct things.

p.s. also let me know if you got the cert and I din;t credit you with the 10K bonus (a8isa1 and beamer may be?!)

I think you should assume that players have not completed the game unless they told you so.
Regarding rankings, if I am not wrong, the only positions that could change are #4, #5 and #6.
If Marius hasn't completed the game:
#4 Phil
#5 Jason
#6 Marius
If Marius has completed the game:
#4 Marius
#5 Phil
#6 Jason

I did complete the game, but I did not know I had to take a picture of that certificate thing.

After I completed the last level, I got that certificate, and then it went to level 1 again, but then harder. I then got till somewhere around level 4 or 5.

Wasn't that right?

I don't understand the confusion. It happens more. Perhaps all things with bonus and all that should be skipped. Just play, the one with the highest end score wins.

I did not finish level 8 (not a shareholder), but I don't think it affects my place.

Marius, read the posts, no one told you to take a screenshot of the certificate!

Jason tought, looking at our scores, that me, you and Fres finished the game so he added 10000 points to our scores.
In fact me and Fres didn't finish the game so we don't deserve the 10000 points bonus.
You informed us that you finished the game (congratulations) so you deserve the 10000 points bonus.

So,
10000 points should be subtracted from me and Fres and the new rankings is
#4 Marius
#5 Phil
#6 Jason

In other words, thanks to my remark, I lose a position and you gain a position!

[therealbountybob]

Thanks Philsan, table corrected (above) You guys must have collected a shed load of goblets

[Marius1976]

@Philsan

Ah... but still... All those bonus things make things cool, but complicated.

And you deserve a certificate for that remark!

Thank you Marius!
I agree with you that sometimes bonus can be complicated.
In Bounty Bob Strikes Back I didn't understand I had to select C'mon level for the bonus challenge.
Luckily Jason discovered my error (anyway I was able to get the bonus ).
