Toss An Elf Off Santa’s Stick

Competitions | December 3, 2010 by Harriet Rhodes

This competition is now closed. For good. You can still play along but there’ll be no more prizes. We said we’d keep the game up and running and dole out some further prizes, and this is exactly what we’ve done with players receiving the remnants left in our bulging Christmassy sack. The winners were:

Tiny Tosser: Rachel Lines & Phil Cawser

Most Persistent Tosser: Stuart Provan

These three Elf abusers will all receive a brand spanking new Motorola Milestone 2 for their troubles. Thanks for playing – the game will be staying put, but you’ll just be playing for kicks as of today.

New Angry Birds Cheat for Android Appears

Ashleigh

Wicked… I cant get the elf past the poo though!
Chubba

Haha awesome game guys!
I LOVE IT… cant beat the high score tho grrr
Frank

Quality, but what is the best technique? I keep getting the power right on the money, but cant get over 165m!booo
sean

aim low so his foot rests on the power bar, but u trick is when u do that is getting power bar on full, i got 302m am getting close
isobel madden

Does this comply with elf and safety regulations? x
dave brent

This games a fix. i have designed games like this. They work on a system that only allows you to get further every couple of hundred times or so. So its all a game of luck not skill
mandy

Over 500?! Really how am i meant to win with this? I think i’m last!
and matthews

I was thinking the same. It’s like those grab cranes at the seaside. Works every now and then
gavin

this game is a fix i have spent of 15 hours on this and can only get to 7th?
Mr D

As usual with flash games they are ruined by CHEATS CHEATS CHEATS, I’ve played this hundreds of times and know what kind of score you can get for maximum, I have got a score of 424 around 8 times, yet we have a score of over 1000m at the top. I hope phones4u are able to tell who is cheating, if so then why aren’t the top scores removed, clearly something isnt right.
Harriet Rhodes

Hey Dave,

Thanks for your comment. I’ve had a word wih our developer who wants to reassure you and other fellow gamers that the game is not a fix.

And here’s why, the parameters of the obstacles and the objects that bounce our buddign elf are identical every single time. The only thing that varies is the angle of the elf, and the power used to throw him. Both are under the control of the player. Therefore he believes that the player is the one in control and how far you fling your elf is based on skill and not luck.

Happy Tossing!
Harriet Rhodes

Hey Guys,

Don’t worry we understand that the top score is ridiculously high – Our developer is looking into it and fear not cheaters will not be awarded prizes.

Harriet
Lisa King

So which scores are genuine and which are fake apart from the ridiculously obvious first place. Not that bright to get a score that high really
Gaspode

You may want to get your developer to fix the game. I’ve no idea how my score got so high – i bounced off a few elves and went hurtling along until all I could see was poo! even then, i slid past about 10
of them before it stopped. If the game had a brainfart then remove my score but I’d hate to think I could be totally disqualified and labelled as a cheat when I wouldn’t have the faintest clue how to.
Clark

I keep getting 424 as well so there does seem to be a problem with cheaters surpassing this…
Clark

Well I take that back now lol. Seems there is a ‘sweet spot’ which I haven’t got since but will keep trying. But do I think 1000 is a bit of a joke…
stuart

after the second winner of the xbox 360 with Kinect, will there be an “overall score” list?

Harriet Rhodes

Hi Stuart,

Yes we are keeping track of all the legitimate top scorers and the big prize will be awarded to the top scorer of the month.

Cheers,
Harriet

Kevin

I thought the cheat’s hi scores were being removed off the scoreboard?

Harriet Rhodes

Hey Guys,

The top scores are being looked into by our development team. It will be sorted before the prizes are awarded!

Harriet

faisal

manage to get personal best of 432.88… giving up now after hours on it. Hitting low with full power seems to get good scores in case someone is wondering.

Rizniya

Thanks a lottt
Followed ur advice, and managed to get 424.19!!

Clark

Gaspode is a blatent cheater. I know this because he has a ridiculous score on another flash game. Thanks for ruining these competetions for everyone else.
Lisa King

Are you sure you have removed ALL the fake scores. Most people who have mentioned the game have not even got over 500 yet there are loads that have? I cant even get past 426!
Bazza

Seems fair if you put everyones email in that has taken part and randomly pick one. Seems like the game itself is flawed!
Bazza

Game definately flawed. I just got the highscore!
andrea

Around the 432 is my top score and after days of trying I’m now under the impression that either I’m rubbish at this or others are cheating. It is quite odd that the ‘top’ scorers havent been on here to defend themselves?

Anyway I cant cope without a phone any longer and will be off out tomorrow to buy a new one. Any vouchers/discounts gratefully received! x
BYoung

This game can be manipulated. both my previous comments have been removed.
Lisa King

Yes I will be giving up on this one as something is not right and I cant compete with cheaters. Random drawing from all who have played would be much fairer and if you cant run a game competition fairly then dont run them at all in the first place
Harriet Rhodes

Hey,

We’re not aware of any comments being removed, nor are we encouraging cheating. We’ve also got our developer looking into all the high scores to make sure that we pick up any cheaters.

Harriet
leanne

Complete waste of time. Ive been throwing the elf from the same point, at the same power level, and its a different distance everytime! More a chance of luck than skill! Looks like the hackers are at it again too, different game plan this time though, put the score just above the high score, makes it look more realistic! not very fair on the genuine players at all. I give up!
Bob

High score doesn’t work
BYoung

Ive not ‘Hacked’ anything but the game can definately be manipulated easily to give a high score. I dont think its a fair competition so perhaps just have a draw. Harriet, if you want to email me ill tell you how folk have been doing it.

sean

how then?

john

What a complete waste of time! obv that there is cheating going on, and its basically luck, and there is no way in hell, that it hasnt been hacked either! its too hard to get decent distance on it, no matter what angle or what power you put on it. Another joke, and coming from phones4u theres probably a hidden charge you have to pay no doubt. its a joke.

Better time spent playing tetris!
Pete

Well my best is 420 odd, rank #303 at the time. Haven’t bested it so am going to give up Good luck everyone else!
Greig

I like the idea but its really not much of a competition even if the gameplay was flawless if its restricted to people who play games like this for a living and know the best angles etc.
Computer companies like Bungie who create Halo can still get hackers I think the developer behind this game and no where near a good budget to help eliminate likely hackers so there is a great chance this game is flawed.

Can I also point out, why would you want to win an Xbox then win the chest that contains another xbox ? Seems a bit strange to me. Chances are if you get a high enough score then you will win at the end of the month lol.

Work on equality phones4u!!
jib

haha, god just because you people cant get a high score does not automaticly mean people are cheating or there is a secret way of doing it. man up and deal with it.
Loz

Can u play this game on I phone – 3g? Loz x

Will

No – because Apple are extremely lame and won’t allow Flash apps to run on the iphone. Get a proper phone like an Android!

sue davis

love it loads
Gareth Hughes

ok we know as long as there are games people will cheat,only fair way a random draw of all names that play so come on phones4u lets give everyone a chance random draw nice and fair it is xmas!
Lisa King

To Jib. Obviously you have not played this game from day one because 2 very high scores have already been removed due to cheating and phones4u and the game developer were aware that the game had been hacked.
I still think there is cheating going on but not as obvious as the scores that were on the board the other day. Unfair competition if it can be manipulated anyway. Does not look good on Phones4u at all
Grant D

Just do a prize draw. Or a game that’s a bit more skill based as opposed to luck based. Also a game that’s manipulation free would be nice.
Will

I don’t get why people are upset if there’s an element of luck to a game. If you’re trying to stop a power bar that, for argument’s sake, ranges between 0-1000, you’re not going to be able to hit exactly the same value every time. Slight differences in power could cause a wide variety of scores, even if it *looks* like you get the same power every time.

That said, P4U need to use better developers that can prevent crackers from gaining an unfair advantage. If the game reported back with a log of the elf’s travel, bounces, etc. then P4U could verify scores were legitimate.
kay

does the 1st draw end tonight or is it a new week now, also how are u gonna be deciding the prize when so many of the scores have clearly been hacked.
Btw this to me looks not like one hacker using several alias’ but morelike 2 or more hackers who keep topping each others scores, therefore making the scores go ridiculously high.
I appreciate phones4u running this comp, just a shame some people cannot play fair
Harriet Rhodes

Hi Guys,

The first winner will be announced at 5oclock today.

I understand it’s frustrating when people are cheating; it’s the same at our end as we try to work against the hackers.

All I can say is if you come back after 5oclock then you’ll be able to see the new measures that we are putting in place to prevent those few cheaters from ruining it for the rest of you.

Obviously we made this game for everyone to have a laugh and win some Christmas goodies in the process.

Hopefully the changes that we’re making will prevent the need for hacks… Just hold on for a few more hours!

Thanks
Harriet
shanderz

this game is elf-tastic!!!!!!did get highest score of my life……100.10m.ba-humbug
Mary

This has got to be a hoax I can only get up to 398 metres-HACKERS AND CHEATER’S are ruining for everyone it should just be a prize draw where when someone get’s over 300 metres get’s put into the draw and the first email drawn out win’s the prize-=)

Harriet Rhodes

Mary – You read our minds!

Cate

Aye right!
Kevin Mackay

I’ve been playing this since day 1 and have never got over 426 metres. The hi scores over that are very suspect so I think the new rules are much fairer
Baz

Where do you post the note of winners?
Baz

I think the way it has been changed is now very fair.
Stanley

Hello, is their going to be a winner from the first competition. It wouldn’t be fair on the people who entered real scores to make it into a draw. You must be able to tell which scores are real. The most people seemed to score was about 430.
Lisa King

My partner who is currently in 1st place did get a GENUINE score. I didnt believe him when he told me his score but yes he did get 478. The highest we both got last week was no more than 425 so we were both shocked at his score.
I am glad it is being made a random draw now even tho my partner is currently in the lead. Makes it so much fairer to everyone. Good luck all
TIP. Scroll the Elf as low as you can get, then move him 5 clicks up and go for it, thats how I got my high-ish score and how my partner Kevin got his. We have played this non stop over the last week lol Very addictive
Rachael Lines

Are we okay to enter more than once because I like playing this and dont want to void my entry if I score higher (Obviously I want to participate up the board)
Latifah

I got 422, i don’t think the high-scores are cheats. Ive had more than 30 tries, and it took me sooo long to get my score. Practise makes perfect i guess. It’s soo addictive, i love this game.
andrea

Well done Lisa (and partner!) who got the 10th December prize?
00phelanchr

Well I just took the high score on my 5th try
Matthew Daniel

If I score over 300 more than once, do they all go into the draw?
Thanks.
This is great fun.
Matthew
Chris Scrimshaw

479 yeah!! No idea how I did it, but am top of the tossers for now!
Rachael Lines

Is it multiple entries, or just one entry with a score over 300?
Paulo Reyes

423 1st go
Matthew Daniel

My wife has said that this game has completed me.
Her actual words were “You are a complete tosser!”
ismael

there is no cheat, people if ur rubbish den dont play, theres a way to get the eld further! keep playing and ull find out, USE UR IMAGINATION!
Brian

How addictive is this? I’m “elf” employed and I’m going bad, Hope I win it
Kevin Mackay

Who won the prize draw then?
RUBY GLENN

Yey, I made 1st place, 480.55m
Ryan

Got a 507.79, top score along with 2 others as of 17 December. I think this is almost impossible to beat because I played quite a bit afterwards and couldn’t come close, but no cheats!! To anyone who thinks its a cheat – 2 others got exactly the same.

I see the rules changed so the prize goes to anyone with a score of over 300. This is fine – so who won?

Is this just a load of Bull?
dawn

hi who won the xbox? plus why have my scores been removed i got 425 the other day and its not on the top scores
marc

who won on 17th
Harriet Rhodes

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the delay – we had to validate all the entries to stop those cheaters winning!

The winner of last weeks Xbox 360 and Kinect bundle is Jason Humphreys. – If this is you, check your inbox as we’ve sent you details across!

For those of you who didn’t win, don’t worry there’s still the mammoth entertainment package up for grabs. Rules stay the same, you can have as many flings as you like.

Good Luck!
Jason Humphreys

I’ve won the second week’s comp from Phones4U’s Toss an Elf!!!!!!

Looking forward for my Microsoft Xbox 360 with Kinect.

Thanks Phone4U
Brian

Well Done Jason
Jason Humphreys

Prize has arrived already!

Brilliant!
David

after 30 mins of Friday time-wasting I just got over 300 (307). Fingers crossed for the prize draw now.
Neil

It appears to me that there are some really sore losers who have been playing this game for quite some time. I have only been playing for past three days sporadically I hasten to add and I have achieved A high score.
Asif Alam

I happy so far with my performance.But it could get better you never know?
sonja

soooo, when’s the final winner announced? will it only be through email or also on the site somewhere?

Harriet Rhodes

The winner will be announced on site on Wednesday 29th December.
So dont forget to check back to see if you’ve won our Champion Chest!

In the meantime, Enjoy the festivities!

Gary Holmes

Wicked game! Not normally into this sort of gaming, prefer PC stuff, but for a chance to win this prize, i gave this a pretty ok shot n eventually got over 300m!

Good work P4U, Do some more like this please )

Merry Christmas
Ruby Glenn

I was a genuine player and I held high score for a while. Would have been nice to receive something for reaching the highest score as it took me tons of attempts to do it!!!! Does anyone know if anyone actually won the Champions chest as I never received a message about it being drawn?
dawn

its to be announced today
Lorraine brook

I received a lovely email informing me that I was the Champions Chest winner. I am so elated at winning and my boys are even happier!!
Thank you so much phones4u for a brilliant game and a brilliant prize xxxx
susan surgeoner

Well done to all the winners. Great little game and I’ve really enjoyed playing it. Happy New Year to all x
Neil

This is a joke. I was joint top for the last game and spent ages in acheiving it and you now say The competition is now closed, but we’re keeping our dear elf up for a little longer for you lot to keep in the festive spirit. So carry on tossing and you never know there may be a few New Year rewards on offer!. Like what. Another game in which you change the rules at your whim. I not the highscore is exactly the same as mine was. Get on to your developers again and see if that is a fix. I note you have made no comment on any of your disscutions with them.
Gavin Moore

Nicely run competition. Had a lot of fun with this one! Well done the winners!
Rachael Lines

Woo watch my elf fly…
Rachael Lines

Is this still worth entering? I asked Tish on the Facebook page but no responce yet. Please guys !!

Harriet Rhodes

Hey Rachael,

Yep it is, we’re gonna be giving away a few extra goodies for those who are still clinging onto that Christmas spirit this year. Check back at the end of the month for details.

Ridmat

Harriet said to check back at the end on Jan for details of extra prizes, but nothing has been posted since?

Rachael Lines

Yay !! I will go forth and spread the word, Let there be elf flinging!
Max

Gutted, got my highest score of 425m and couldn’t submit as the website went down!
Lisa King

Is this comp stil open?
Rachael Lines

Any winners yet? Fingers crosses xx
stuart

won a phone!

nice!
Harriet Rhodes

Hey,

We’ve removed the top scores which we felt were achieved unfairly. Remember there’s only two days left until the top scorer gets their hands on that Xbox bundle… So get tossing!

Harriet
Mike Peters

This is ridiculous, I have spent hours and hours on this game trying to get the highest score, I got over 500 twice legitimately and was leading the way. I now find that it is a random draw for anyone just like all the other contests with tens of thousands of entrants. It is perfectly possible to get over 500 and phones4u should be able to work out who is cheating and who isn’t. Now I find I have wasted my time because I know for a fact I won’t get drawn as the “lucky” winner when before at least I had a chance of winning. The poster before who got 478 wasn’t leading because my score was way ahead and the elf does go further. Perserverance is the key. I am the one now feeling cheated by all the moaners who just aren’t very good. For once I felt I had a realistic chance of winning something and now I have none. Well done everyone!
