And I have 3 of the 4 suggested games! Are all the challenges running at once?
One question, though: how will people know 10 credits have been used? I mean we can capture the screen where 10 credits have been added, but after that we could just lie. We could add more, we could finish the game in another run, etc.
Another one: in Aero Fighters 2 it's High-score mode, right?

They are all running at once. Just pick the one(s) you like for this month. Next month we will have four new challenges.
There is no way of knowing how many continues where used or even if the difficulty has been altered. It's all based on trust. Cool kids don't cheat
@Corneel thanks for putting it down in words, excellent work!
I'm down for this one! Everyone be warned, we'll probably be tweaking the finer details of the competition, including format and scoring system: we will update the rules and let you know in case.
It would be cool if everyone planning to take part to the competition would let us know it by posting either here or on the relevant channel on Adult Switch Gamers discord server (link below).
If you want to chat about the competition or get the latest updates I STRONGLY suggest you to join us on Adult Switch Gamer's discord server: https://discord.gg/rffzRvh
The original fire has died and gone, but the riot inside moves on.
@Zkibu, great! Thanks for joining! @riccyjay, thanks for joining again! I'll add you on the Switch later today. Looking forward to seeing your Aero Fighters 2 score and how far you got in Gunbird.
There is a slight alteration in the Gunbird score system. You need to get at least to stage three before being awarded points. From stage five and later stages, using a continue will take you back to the beginning of the stage and it will become more difficult to progress from that point on.
@Zkibu That's actually a pretty good score already. The game gets more fun after you have your patterns down and can do the first few minutes on autopilot. I'm at 35770 right now.
@Corneel That is true. Pac-Man is all about remembering the three different patterns, quick reflexes and little bit of improvisation in the end. Really addictive once it clicks.
@Zkibu It's very addictive. I actually never got into Pac-Man, but after reading a bit about the strategies, indeed it just clicks and it's impossible to put down.

I'll look into it, because I like Pac-man but I always improvise. I've always thought I would be incapable of remembering patterns. So I never make it into 2 digits...
Currently tackling the Gunbird challenge first. I used to play with these exact settings and I'm pretty sure I can make it to level 7. Let's see if I can do it again...
(By the way, I'm assuming the 'extend score' setting is 400,000 sincr that's the default?)
Also, anyone here playing with the Flipgrip? I've had mine for a month or so and only really used it to test it out a few times. Playing Gunbird with it is the first time I've given it a serious go and I can now say I really, really do love it. Weirdly, given the small screen, it's the closest I've felt at home to sitting on a stool in front of an Egret / Astro City. Just wish we had a decent d-pad on the Joycons.
@riccyjay I have the Flip Grip. Really turns some of the game more enjoyable. Enjoying especially Danmaku Unlimited 3 and Namco Museum games. Funny how something so simple can be so genious.
