In the morning, we’ll host the “Night Striker Special Tactical Action Force Skills Trial in Hey” competition. Players will take on designated stages, competing for the highest Running Point score (displayed on the game’s gadget) at stage end. Entry is limited to 20 participants; if applications exceed this number, players will be selected at random. Those wishing to participate should register at the Hey 2F counter between 10:00 and 10:15 on the day of the event. At 15:00, we present the “Monthly ZUNTATA NIGHT – Special Summer 2025 Edition in Hey”.

I thought TaosukeFox had clinched it with their 3.9m score, but then wr01r came in at 4m+ and an even higher score of 4.2m near the end, but fogg_manatic snuck in at the end with a staggering 5 million points! mtyankovich in 3rd climbed from 3m to over 4m, securing themelves 3rd place overall. The full game saw a score rush too, perhaps most impressive of all being sciencer0122 managing to top their own previous number 1 score! However, equally impressive were out 2nd and 3rd entries who lept from the 2m point mark to well over 3m, securing themselves top placing! We'll contact the Trial contest winners through Twitter, and the full game winners via Steam (look out for a friend request from this account), but for now, a big thank you to everyone who took part!
