Post your Crazy Climber scores!!

I survived the level 4 sign once, it went right through me when I got in a "right triangle" formation across 2 windows, I will upload a pic of that position, may have been a fluke?

I played a few games with my son today and got into a zone where I was able to anticipate and dodge 6 or 7 signs, until I ended with a phantom death where I fell for no reason smh

Super fun to dodge a hailstorm of crap but those phantom falls are a real PITA

Still have the good old Crazy Climber Cocktail…. And this is being delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to try it. Hopefully I can adjust to the gameplay of an upright and benefit from the larger screen and improve my score

Beautiful machine. The cocktail version is really difficult because of the odd placement of the controls… damn, i love this game.

When climbing, do you guys like climbing up a single row of windows (narrow, conventional) or straddling 2 rows (wide stance, abstract)? Never occurred to me to climb wide, but after seeing a friend do it, can see many advantages to doing so if adept at it. I've gotta work on training my mind to climb that way.

Straddling 2 rows. I used to climb in a single row, until i stumbled upon climbing up in a wide spread pattern…. It also sure looks like you move faster, but I'm still a novice at this too often overlooked classic.

Main thing is to be prepared for what is coming at you.

With some exceptions, things are thrown your way in groups of 8 floors. Like this:
(all of this is building 2)
flowerpots (3 at a time) start at floor 18.
dodge/brace these for 24 floors (3 sets of 8)
at floor 42, girders/dumbbells fall 2 at a time
dodge these for 8 floors
then at 50, for 3 sets of 8 floors, girders 1 at a time
then 8 floors girders 2 at a time

count to 8
count to 8
count to 8

Here is everything on building 2. Be prepared.
If you fall/die after floor 12 or so, it will take it easier on you and some of the obstacles will be missing when you continue.

step note
16 girder hit will kill
18 flowerpots start (3X)
12 center section start 2wide
42 girders (2X)
50 girders (1X)
74 girders (2X)
82 bird
106 girders (2X)
114 girders stop
122 can hear sign
137 girders start (1X)
138 girders start (2X)
146 balloon appears
162 balloon leaves
178 girders stop
194 last regular step

I should really put a webpage together or something because you know what?
I LOVE this game!!

It's such an original!!! Mainly the 2 joystick control and NO JUMP button. i can only imagine the game designers… OK, what about a guy in a green jumpsuit that climbs up skyscrapers, his goal is to get to the very top all the while people are throwing flower pots, bottles, girders, dumbbells… avoid a punching King Kong a falling MASSIVE CRAZY CLIMBER sign, and electrical wires….

LOVE IT !! AND it is very difficult to many causal players and they give up on it because of the controls.

It's an awesome game, and I went through great lengths to find the original Nichi joysticks, overengineered as they are.

However, I can't help but think how much better the gameplay would be if I cobbled together better joysticks like John did with the Sanwa's:

I didn't mind the cocktail controls but upgraded to this when I got a chance...

Very nice. I feel like the larger screen and controller position would be beneficial to maneuvering your climber, especially if straddling rows and attempting diagonal escapes.
