Gorfy Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Man, I thought I'd do a lot better on this. Guess I have to get re-accustomed to the pro-line joystick. Score: 35,660 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 For tips, definitely look for and destroy the hidden Sol Citadels in each level. There's usually 2. I think they're worth 4000pts. 2000 to discover (hit appropriate location on ground) and 2000 to destroy (second hit after it's been uncovered.) That and be extremely careful how you die. Not that it's something you really have control over, but dying in the last part of an area will cause you to be pushed ahead to the next level. The ending section you end up being forced to skip is usually where a lot of points can be obtained. Since everything after that is only going to be harder, it means you'll have missed "easy" points.

Gorfy Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 New score: 111,170 Man, the second time around that the boss ship appears seems impossible. Immediately before it appears, some explosive device arrives and explodes into multitudinous shrapnel-like fragments. Once in a while I'll luck out somehow and not get hit by one of the shrapnel pieces, but usually I get killed. If anyone has any tips on how to approach this part of the game, it'd be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jifremok Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) 200900, my best performance ever. I couldn't beat the third boss. Too much of a certain explosive device. Yet the record holder for that final bonus, more than twice my score! Whoa. New score: 111,170 Man, the second time around that the boss ship appears seems impossible. Immediately before it appears, some explosive device arrives and explodes into multitudinous shrapnel-like fragments. Once in a while I'll luck out somehow and not get hit by one of the shrapnel pieces, but usually I get killed. If anyone has any tips on how to approach this part of the game, it'd be greatly appreciated! When you know that thing is coming, keep shooting and hope you can destroy it before it detonates. I have no idea if there's any way to predict where on the screen it'll show up though, and I highly doubt that this tip'll be very useful. If you can help it, get farther away from it when you see it; that'll give you just a little more time to react when it detonates, and the farther you are from ground zero the farther apart the shrapnel will be when the time comes to dodge it. Not only must you avoid the spreadshot, you'll also need to worry about a few faster-moving projectiles that kinda home in on you. I wish I could be of more help, but for me this is much more experience, instinct and reflex. And I still die a lot on those things. Or similar ones that are lesser yet tougher.

Gorfy Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 @Jifremok--- Great score, man!!! :thumbsup: Thanks for the tips....I'll try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jifremok Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) Oh, I just tried again and paid closer attention to those shrapnel explosives of horrible doom and death. Maybe those extra projectiles don't home in, I don't know what it is they do. But I seem to only need to dodge one of them, while those couple of others just go off to do something else and just make it look even harder than it really is (which is still pretty damn hard).
