I was very pleased with myself for doing "Give Up" from start to finish with 0 deaths yesterday, since after all, by all appearances, no one had ever done that before, the top scores list said 1 death was the best ever. I took a screenshot 8 hours later: http://s8.postimg.org/3vffvk94x/the_greatest_in_the_world.jpg

TODAY, SUDDENLY my game yesterday is listed as having been 1 death! As you can see here:

I have been CHEATED! What gives?! It also makes me wonder how many others who it reports as having 1 death actually did it in 0 as well. You know, for several days, the best I had done was 3 deaths.... and it stayed at 3, it didn't go up to 4 the next day. So I am inclined to think that this bug only turns a 0 into a 1, it doesn't change any other numbers. But I just wanted to put this out there.

How very strange! I wonder if it can't store 0 as a variable. I'll pass this along to our team, sorry you feel cheated! I personally think that you got zero deaths is amazing.

This happens on many different games as well :/ I have been reset on Colony and Phage wars live many many times. It's quite annoying.

Well, it stored it for a while ferret, so it can store 0 (even unsigned ints can be 0, they just can't be negative, so that can't be it), it's just that something happened to it between 8 hours and 34 hours after the game. I'm guessing it happened when your clocks hit midnight. I tried to do it again on 9-17 just to see if it would do the same thing again, but I did it in 1 death.... level 32 got me, and then 1 death again, level 33 got me, And then I was up to 5 deaths a third time, and that was when I said 'nuff of this, I'm only getting more frustrated and it takes me 6 minutes to go through the whole thing and I don't want to play it dozens of more times just to see if it POSSIBLY sticks this time, I spent enough time just doing it the first time. Not unless I was taking a screen recording of it so that I could upload a "how to win give up in 0 deaths" walkthrough to youtube or something. If only I had a computer that could handle running it while a screen recorder was going.

30 hours later I mean. The first one was 7 pm, the second one was 5 pm, not the other way around. What time zone does armor games go by anyway? Is it GMT or EST or something else?

hezdog:
You mentioned this happening in phage wars and colony.. does it happen only when the score is 0, or for other scores as well?

We will be looking into this!

Your rank gets reset on those games sometimes, not your score sorry forgot to specify. On Colony sometimes you log in after earning your rank 10 and your rank will be 1 again with 0 games won or played. On phage wars live you will log in and it will be the same way, rank 1 and have played 0 games.
