Me and fellow klover were have a 3 game tournament via Justin.tv anyway he was at 7 k then all sudden during the falling bird stage he hit like 3 or 4 bird in a row at point blank and his score shot to like a total of 205k WTF. I'll never beat this so anyone else perform this. Is it part of the game?
Thanks

No, it's a bug. Here's an analysis of it, and how to fix it:

It's very easy to do intentionally once you get the hang of it. You can only do it once though as it does not add 200k to your score, it replaces digits in the score so you will go back in score if you do it again.
 
Interesting. I wish that I could analyze assembly language like that. I have enough trouble analyzing someone else's C.

This reminds me of the big "bonus" that can be attained on the Irecsa GGI version of Phoenix in the first wave. Anyone know if that was an intentional easter egg or just a "sloppy" programming bug?
 
Jump man with a zeke pick quality want don't you stay in your trailer and shut up your for sure a glitcher and a cheat
 
I'm going to get one of the most respected names in gaming I know that shitty cabs in your garage.
 
There's this stoner that comes by my shop all the time, and he loves Phoenix. So he's always really mellow, and I told him about this trick. So he tries and tries and tries, and finally pulled it off right in front of us. It's probably the only time I saw him actually excited about something, lol.
