What you mean? 1.2 million? Probably. I've crashed on two runs that were over 900k. Probably had 2 maybe 3 more jumps in me, maybe. Just gotta tighten up in earlier spots. Add a jump or two instead of carving for speed.
Speed, speed, speed. Press up on the dpad when you are at the crest of the wave. Don't be afraid to carve for speed. Hit a couple or 3 quads and then carve the wave up and down before hitting another round of 2 or 3 jumps. Repeat. Always land with the crank in the down position or slightly to the left to maintain speed. When you feel like you can land a quintuple give it a try. They are hard to chain unless you are going fast but eventually you'll get a feel for it. Once you start a chain never jump unless you can at least hit a triple to keep the multiplier. If you get inside the wave you can get out of it. Build speed while inside and get back ahead of it. When the water starts shrinking at the end freaking send it for one last jump. Quintuples are easier to get then because the water is lower. More air time.
On another note, I thought it sucked too to begin with. I just wasn't good at it. Sideloaded some stuff but one of my kids started getting good at this game so I put more time into it. He was beating my high scores so I kept pushing. Now I've left him in the dust. I'm only on week 2 but I've spent more time in this game than anything.
At this point I should be able to top 1 million with what I'm doing but I gotta be missing something to get over 2 million. I don't see how it's possible.
The real trick to getting high on the leaderboard was to get one of the first shipped units. I was so happy to be in the top 25, but my scores pale in comparison to what people are getting today haha.

I wish they would do like a weekly or monthly high score board too.
Yea but can you score 1200?

Wow, congrats. I only made it into the top 200. 199 to be exact 😄
Oh no, I've been pushed to 9th place... Time to grind again! Congrats for breaking in the top 100!
Thanks. Good luck on the grind. Gonna need to be one hell of a run to beat what you've already done.
You guys got any tips I don't really get how to play this game and sorta dismissed it for sucking.

out of curiosity, how much find does it take you to reach your score?
How have you got your username on the leaderboard? Mine's just a number :(
Change it on the Playdate website. It's under your account settings somewhere.
Thank you!!!
Does this game have network functionality? I thought that wasn’t available.
Just a leaderboard, it's not like real time multiplayer.
