Getting the Bruno's Backwoods Breakaway Trophy
Thu Feb 01, 2007 8:53 am
How do you do it? I can get the highest possible score in that game, but of course, so can zillions of other people.
From what I understand, the way ties work for high scores is that the last person to the score will be in the higher position on the board. But some games where there it's only possible to get so many points the trophies only go to the very first people to get on the score board at the start of the month. Which way does it work for Bruno's Breakaway, anybody know?
But then there's another problem with Bruno's Breakaway because high scores always get reviewed, so you can't get your score to show up at a specific time. So is it even possible to try for a trophy, or is it just dumb luck? Is there some trick to estimating what time you send you score to what time it will be reviewed and accepted? Is there some trick to getting trophies in games like this that I don't know?
I'm just curious to know if there's anything I can do to try to get a trophy.

Your best bet for getting the trophy is at the reset at the beginning of each month. For games that have a finite score that's pretty much your only hope.

Okay so it's the first scores on the first of the month, not the last scores every night at trophy award time. Thanks!
But what about taking into account the time it takes for the score to be reviewed? There's really no hope for timing that, is there?

hey dude, the first time i played the game i got the high score and the trophy is sitting in my profile right now, im almost positive that if you tie people in the gold, you will get the medal, just not the 750 per day.

See? And I also expect to see a kreludan mining corp gold trohpy in there soon because I just got the max score even though im the 5th person to do it this month and that is only a silver.
edit: btw, Dont just assume what I said is correct, lol...

Well, maybe you dont get a gold trophy, It says I got a silver one, but im thinking maybe at the end of the month they hand one to you, because I dont remember seeing my backwoods breakaway trophy beggening of february and I havent even played it for a couple weeks.

After a quick look at the HST of BBB I see that pretty much everyone has the gold trophie on that game. So I'm guessing they changed BBB so that ?everyone/first 100? with the maximum score gets the gold trophie.
Then you must have looked over the trophy because they don't give out trophies at the end of the month. Well they do but they do it like they do it every day.
Edit: BBB doesn't have a review score.

Every time I've gotten the highest possible score, it's been reviewed.

Oh! So it has. I just sent a highest possible score and it didn't get reviewed. 
I admit it's been a little while since I've bothered to play the game all the way through.
Well that makes trying to get a trophy simpler. Now all I have to do is wait till the end of the month and try to send a score right after midnight.

I always rush and sometimes i can't jump.

I didn't wait 'til the end of the month. I just played it for fun a couple of weeks ago and after a day or two the trophy appeared in my lookup.

As of right now, you automatically get a gold trophy if you submit max score of 5180 and stay on the High Score Table until trophies are awarded

yeah, I also played it a couple of days ago, just to get a high score on it. And when I checked my user page today, there was a trophy sitting there! 
So it's basically become another easy trophy to get, I bet the people who got the first couple of trophies weren't too happy with it..

Maybe so but it's nice to see a new trophy that is fairly easy to attain. All it is is a newer verion of Faerie Caves II: Fyora's Quest basically. In that one you just had to get a perfect score and the same goes for Bruno's Backwoods Breakaway. I've got it too even if it is just filler in my trophy case. Some of the guides ought to add it to the list of an easy trophy.

The highest score I can get is 2,520. Thats because theres seems to be an impossible to get potion thats up on a platform thats right below a platform with walls hanging off of it so you can't jump down and get it. I tried looking for a tree or some way to get it, but I can't find a way. Its very strange. Its dumb though, cause I can make it all the way up to there without losing a single life, and then I just have to click end game when I get there cause theres nothing I can do.
