Cloud Gaming Championships Week 4 Challenge

Week 4 of the Cloud Gaming Championships on Stadia (Summer 2022 edition) starts now! This post contains all the details you need in order to officially compete and submit your score. Please also make sure you are registered for the tournament. You can still register anytime at the main tournament page.

What is the Week 4 Challenge?

The fourth weekly challenge is based on the roguelite twinstick shooter called Deathrun TV! Created by one of our organizer, @NinjaGuyX, this one will really test your fast reaction skills and was designed to be a very difficult challenge.

Rules:

The rules of the challenge are simple. Your goal is to compete in the Arcade Mode with the most likes (your highscore) before you get a gameover!

To get to this challenge, you will need to boot up Deathrun TV, and go to the room to the south. You will be greeted with a green ball to the left, and an arcade to the right. You need to select the arcade. Your difficulty needs to be set to “Contestant” and you need to select the 4th Arena (See image above).

Important! Additional Rules:

There are a few additional rules to ensure that the run is challenging enough and doesn’t continue forever! (Lesson learned from Centipede lol!).

  • After each run, you are required to go in the options, and show us the complete setup page on the Assist tab. Your assist needs to be setup as followed (see screenshots for example).
    • Do not select a preset.
    • Show All Enemy Health Bars: Unchecked
    • Aim Assist: Unchecked
    • Disable Level Traps: Unchecked
