open beta daily run discussion

I love the edges, it makes it feel like a ring,
WWE bouncing back and forth, no damage to you; :)

I wish the EXP bounced off the edges too;

during this (the second I think) Daily run (With Slippery Fish and Hurt me plenty) I could only level up 6 times total regardless of my available upgrades remaining, not in itself an issue, but the run didnt say anything about that limitation.
did anyone else experience it?

That is part of the Purity challenge. The description appears if you highlight/hover over the Daily Challenge icon.

So...will there be any sort of daily trophy? :P Perhaps when viewing the daily high scores, there could be a count of how many times a player made the final daily top ten scores, and another for the number of times getting the top score.

Serpentine drift is really fun, there has been a lot of ideas I wasn't expecting with the daily runs and it has been a very enjoyable addition.

[jonas28t]

tell me I am not alone in serpentine drift feeling like old school Snake :D
was very fun once I realized the idea

[jonas28t]

the cosmic egg was great fun :D and also very different, the fact you have two ways to die changes the game just enough to feel fresh and making you reconsider how to play.
I found myself jumping in front of the egg in the early waves to mitigate the damage it took, in the later waves I knew I just needed to overwhelm the enemies, killing them before they could do anything, as usual the damn shielded ones made life really difficult.
also, when you are in Spectre for this, the enemies will target the egg instead of firing wildly like they do normally, made me release the salvo missiles a lot faster than I usually do :D
