bigbee99 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Can somebody tell me what the point is of those little "buddy" things that follow you around in Alien Syndrome? I've played about 5 games now and I still have no idea. They shoot behind you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Can somebody tell me what the point is of those little "buddy" things that follow you around in Alien Syndrome? I've played about 5 games now and I still have no idea. They shoot behind you Ah, yes. I figured that out right after I posted the question. I didn't notice at first because the bullets those things shoot are so wimpy compared to some of the main weapons. Figured out a pretty good technique for beating the second boss. Grab the flame thrower weapon on the far left of the level (not to be confused with the fire ball weapon). When the boss launches those blobs at you, just stand still until they land. As soon as they do, mash the fire button and spin the joystick around in circles and the flamethrower will clear them out. In the breaks in between, blast the big guy. Easy-peazy.

acelkin Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Well, I got a slightly better score, might as well submit it. 85,700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acelkin Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Improved my Hopper Robo score too. 57,720 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.M.E Offender Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hopper Robo - 78,000 I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that it is wise to get the packages in numerical order for more points. Alien Syndrome - 143,600 I didn't discover this until now, but Alien Storm is the sequel to this game. I never really liked or understood Alien Storm, but after playing Alien Syndrome it makes a heck of a lot more sense to me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.M.E Offender Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Oh yeah!! This alien game is crazy fun. I've got a long way to go to get into bigbee territory, but I am making steady progress on this one. Alien Syndrome - 223,200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.M.E Offender Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Seeing how I am only 600 points away from Cynicaster, I will be pressing mega hard tonight on Syndrome. Oh so close!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.M.E Offender Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) HE HE HE.... Alien Syndrome------248,800 Time bonus is crucial. 300 points per second on the clock. It adds up if you have a substantial amount of time left. Edited December 18, 2011 by M.A.M.E Offender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbee99 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Hopper Robos-----134,620 You just made me go and play it again I wish I hadn't reset all of the play counters on my MAME the other month. I'd tell you how sucked into this game I was for a bit. Same with AS. I'm sure they were both in my top 10 as far as both Time and Play Count. And check out my last game's score. A cool 200k even. I bet I couldn't do that again if I tried. Hopper Robo - 216,800 B Edited December 18, 2011 by bigbee99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Something I had forgot about Hopper Robo. It loops after 8 rounds and the enemies get faster. The 216k run I completed the 1st 6 round perfect on the boxes. As well as round 8. 1st death was round 7. I forget what happened on the 2nd loop but it was far from perfect B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.A.M.E Offender Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I can't seem to make any progress on the 4th level of this f'n game!! So this is my top-off score, I guess...... Alien Syndrome --- 293,900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Alien Syndrome - 306,500 Hopper Robo - 58,940 On Alien Syndrome I got all the way to the 4th level boss without dying, then lost all of my lives in about 30 seconds. Didn't even try Hopper Robo until this morning; cool game, wish I would have played more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
