HSC16 Round 17: Pastfinder + Pathfinder!

Recommended Posts

Pathfinder AHH itsa so simple! I figured out everything! Got to level 6 from the start, 14,686,542 no less!!

 

I'll add this to the first post:

It's you vs the "Nuke", he's the 3rd icon on the display, find him, shoot him, collect the fire pellets from the dispensers and put out the fires. You need to fire off all pellets before you can shoot again. The Nuke respawns ofter near where he was killed, the status bar tells you how many there are. When they are all killed the level ends. The green power bar top line is you and the Nuke is the orange one below. When he is more powerful than you he will come after you.

 

Collect the radiation dotty things to add power, don't do what I did and collect them all, just top up your bar. You could try lowering it to lure the nuke in perhaps then power up (not tried that yet!). Your power depletes over time as well as when wall blasting. Any other baddies or mines you kill will start fires, put them out with the pellets.

 

Not a bad game, probably worth starting on level 5 or so.

^^This about sums up Pathfinder nicely.

 

Get rid of the fires as quick as you can.

 

I find the scrolling excellent and how you can whizz around the screen, so smooth ?

 

Pathfinder 2 ? (BOL "Goes Nuclear")

 

Virus like entity as in SS Achilles, two player co-op, more solid wall for the virus and doors, slightly more intelligent enemies, keys to get into different areas etc.

I have read the instructions now, but I don't become better, nevertheless.

I do fight with this one ?

I'm wondering why you guys are struggling with this one... perhaps you are using keyboard for controls? You really need good joysticks for this one!

Hopefully I'll shoe in some placeholder scores on Friday evening or during Saturday.

That's great, we will run a catch-up on Round 20 guys (remind me if I forget!)

 

Looks like I've mixed up the abbuc meeting / compo results date , it's near the end of Octover so we'll run anothe round before I unleash Block on Legs: First Steps on you, I'm up to 15 levels so by then maybe there will be 16 eh?!! If anyone here is an abbuc member let me know :)

We'll extend this round and the poll until Tuesday 8th October 10pm UK Time. This should give everone time to get a bit further with PASTfinder , PATHfinder is worth a play too: if players haven't much time after working out what to do on level 0, restart on level 10 or so for a more challenging experience!

Keep your speed up on PASTfinder folks (one big hop) then you can cruise, stay alive more than trying to kill stuff, remember the idea of the game is to collect the discs (hmm I used a c) and deliver them to the places marked on the maps.

 

PATHfinder I started on level 11 but I am really too careless when tacking the fires, seems if you end up too far away from the restart point you are in trouble - not sure if the nuke is randomly positioned / moves or he tends to be further away as the levels go on... over to RT for his reportage :D

Little Pastfinder progress to 4685, still failed to deliver a single artifact.

 

 

Don't get a job as a postman :D

 

Had a seriously long joystick creaking session yesterday

sort of retired in the end as after what I think is the top rating at 200 (250?) delivered it confirms that I am officially "great" !

I decided to end the game by trying to reach the top of the map but I was playing for ages with no scrambler. Would still like to know if the game map resets for another bonuis if you do get to the top or if there is another section or anything?

Final Score 312,705 with 308 delivered "COSMIC HOPPER"

The solid wall bit was fun and you could just treak your jumps to get over it, the hurdle ones were fairly tricky but the expando walls were hardest and finished me.

Congratulations to myself (remember I am now officially "great"!) for the win on Pastfinder and to RedThunder for Pathfinder. Pastfinder is perhaps a bit hard for the odd go but Pathfinder is the opposite, worth a go at least.

Thanks for playing everyone :thumbsup:
