I apparently did really well on today's... Shitty Maggy run until Caves 1? (maybe 2?) and you find Dr Fetus. I was also lucky in that I decided to buy Remote Detonator the floor previous, so I just steam rolled the rest of the daily.

Also, I went for 'clear everything' meta. Last few days I noticed my score was mostly the same as negke's, but he too much longer. So I specifically cleared every room I could and I think it is worth doing if you can. I also did the secret boss (little too slow for Boss Rush though), which gives a 5555 score bonus.

Sucks you can't continue... That's likely to prevent scumming though, for instance you can exit and continue to save your life sometimes if you do it fast enough. 

So time isn't so important then, good to know.

Also, there is a new beggar!

According to Gothika_47 he Feeds on misinformation and has a huge chance to start outrage. 

Yeah, Damage is the biggest negative factor I think. Time is just 1 point per second... but each key you have on you when you die is worth like 10 I think, and the other pickups are worth a lot too. Killing enemies are worth a bunch too... so really as long as you are doing things quickly, you're gaining more points than you lose by killing everything and getting all the stuff.

Completing Boss Rush and Hush are big score bonuses, they are the biggest factor for wanting to go fast really. 

Looking at it closer, it seems reasonably fair and logical.

I wish the friends leaderboard was shown on the start screen :( 

Seems like you lose points when spending stuff as well? I noticed I was losing a lot when spending coins or keys on beggars. 

I was in time for hush but it didn't open. Bible'd the heart and mom herself, which was a good call early on to take. 

Is hilarious. 

Azazel is pretty much back to normal then.

I assumed the 'nerf' would be making him work like bluebaby, but only able to collect black hearts and all health ups just adding a black.

But I saw today that he can still earn reds like before.

Anyone know if this was mentioned by the devs? 

Yeah, pennies are worth points... shop eats your points if you buy stuff you don't really need! 

I had guppy, cthulhu and mom transforms, loki's horns with moms knife. Got boss rush and hush, only to completely burn all my hearts on a terrible hush fight and then dies to it 11 times with dead cat / guppys collar DX 

I gave away too much health in devil deals today, did Boss Rush but decided against Hush (door opened) because I had 2 hearts... died several times in Dark Room because I had only 1 heart, then died the rest against Mega Satan cuz none of the Dark Room items gave anything to really help the situation. 

now i realize what OTP was talking about in post#110... there's no score bonus for doing hush on the daily, only boss rush. bleh, shouldn't have bothered with doing it today, but still did quite well 

Good to know the Hush is worthless on Dailies as well as tedious in general :> 

 

Doing the daily will delete any run you have in progress. 

 

 

It seems the answer is actually: You get 4444 for doing Boss Rush, and 5555 for doing Hush, but can only get one or the other, and Boss Rush takes precedence. 

Seems like a bug really, both should give a bonus together.
I wish there was a Daily Average score like in Spelunky (which had it as the average of your 10 best scores). 

Not sure a 'Top 10 Average' would work here, there's a lot more variance in the scoring potential of each day than Spelunky had, and Spelunky's scoring system really felt a lot more risk vs reward due to the Ghost mechanic. Isaac's score system rewards good play, but doesn't really give a ton of incentive for risk other than the Boss Rush/Hush bonus. 

So instead calculate it with rankings instead of score? The average of your 10 best daily rankings or something. 

Did everyone go for boss rush? Interested to know turtling is a comparable tactic. 

While the daily backend system works fine, the frontend feels incomplete. Things like ranking and so on would more accessible and attractive to play. 

Bal: yeah, that would be a cool idea... too bad it seems they only keep 1 week's worth of leaderboard though (you can only scroll back that far in game at least).

ijed: I didn't make it in time for Boss Rush today... I hate Anti-Grav tears. Luckily there's The Pact in one of the curse rooms and you get stupidly strong so it doesn't matter that your tears are wonky and annoying to shoot. Fruitcake too. Fun and the explosions from it's random Ipecac shots got me several tinted rocks I would've missed. 

Yeah antigrav isn't fun, but it seems its been buffed and ups your tear rate more than it did before.

Today I got a whole load of different stuff from the curse and devil rooms as well as fruitcake/pact I had god's flesh, head of the keeper, mom's perfume and I think some other mod as well but I can't remember what it was.

Interesting run... but I ran out of time and it was either eat or play.
