We agree. Let's see who can stay alive the longest, racking up the most points. This is a fun challenge. Now, if we could watch others play and think, "Hey, I can beat that." and then they watch you beat their score? This would be another fun aspect. While I don't expect Puppy1 to incorporate this feature, I like the idea. It would be sort of like seeing who is king of the pinball table, with no limit on the number of balls you work with until, of course, you die. Another thought on pinball would be a game in which you only play with 1 ball. See who racks up the highest score. That would be fun and fair to everyone playing in a competition.
