I thought I had such a smart idea when I realized that I could replay a room and exit through a master wall. It was a room I already had the best demo for. Michthro was equally good, but he was behind me. When I replayed the room and exited through the masterwall I gained a few moves and felt proud, but now I don't have any highscore at all for the room. I think the spider invalidate my demo because I exited where you "can't" exit. This feels mildly frustrating, since I can't reclaim my first place now

I've noticed this behavior too. I think it'd be nice if the spider didn't throw out a previous score until a new one has been verified more efficient.

Edit: Not sure if this is a bug though...it seems to be desireable spider behavior.

Well... Me ending up having no highscore is probably a bug

Well, it's quite common knowledge around here that crossing a master wall in a demo invalidates it as far as high scores go, as the spider always treats those as still being there...

But yeah, it probably should re-instate your old highscore when your new one is deemed invalid.

np: DJ Shadow - Stem/Long Stem (Transmission 2) (Endtroducing Deluxe Edition (Disc 1))
