mbd39 | 2,017 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) I wonder what I'm doing wrong. I've been trying all week and peaked at 48k. I don't know how these scores are possible. Edited October 1, 2021 by mbd39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how these scores are possible. You get big bonuses for clearing levels. I think I got to level 12 on my current score run. Its just about surviving and getting to the next screen. And as you noted in your level 3 comment about the upgrades, they are paramount. I crossed the line of struggling to get to 50k to getting there without losing a life once I figured out how to get items pretty regularly. If you don't get those upgrades, its a long, slow, boring grind that doesn't yield much other than frustration.

I don't know how these scores are possible. Do whatever it takes to hit the sub/ufo/airplane as much as possible for as many power-up drops as you can get. Be willing to sacrifice a good power-up for another that is more appropriate to a given situation. Learn to aim. This seems to be more of an art form than an exact science... Figure out the nature of the enemies/helpers - octopus, cloud warrior, bird etc. as best you can and which power-ups/strategies to utilize in dealing with or avoiding them. Cloud warrior for example can be helpful or a roight bazturd. Figure out the best way to begin each level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Morbis | 2,088 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Man, there was some pretty stiff competition with those late scores.
