Nice job Chris! That'll put you in the #1 spot! Looks like I could have made the achievements a bit harder but oh well.

Yeah. I'd have thought there would be a bit more activity for this one...

Anyway, got close to my old time again. :) 5'55"36 = A rank.

Very nice! You're now on the A-Team! ;) That's gonna be tough to beat but I'll give it a go.

Well I gave it one more go for the hell of it, and lo and behold: New best... 5'50"91

So that's likely my final entry. Here's hoping it stands... ;)

Sorry Chris, but I just got the chance to give it another try.

I still can't figure out, though, why this time is recorded as my last rather than my best, since it's clearly my best.

Sheeyaa... :roll: :lol: Nice one... :P

It's comparing your current time to the previous best. And since it beats the previous best, the current time is highlighted in red font. If it didn't beat the previous best, it would be white (like my 1st 2 screenshots). Play through it again (w/Claire) and this current time will then be your best.

You could always give it another go.

Anyway, that's kind of what I figured. Just kind of misleading, especially considering that pretty much every other game I know just replaces the high score with the last score, if need be.

Yeah, it is misleading.

Oh, I will be giving it another go. Just not sure if I can do better! :)
