Revontuli Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 You can get the instructions for Dragon's Descent in my developer thread - including some tips for getting higher scores! As noted above, you should set the game to "Infinite Mode" if you're playing for score - the title screen will have an infinity symbol on it: 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 What is it with games where the most dangerous enemy is the wall? Pac-Man: 25,900 Seaweed Assault: 4,847 Dragon's Descent: 2,974 I'm not sure I really liked these. Pac-Man is alright for what it is (although the AI seems wonky sometimes). Seaweed Assault is a nice concept but I ended dying of a hand cramp long before the difficulty got me. Dragon's Decent is a decent Gauntlet type game, but doesn't really make sense for the high score club IMHO. Still, I did my best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrMooCowz Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 @Vocelli - just like this time last year, I appreciate the extra time given to play these since most peoples' schedule is probably sporadic with traveling for the holidays. Thank you! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocelli Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Vocelli: Pac-Man 4K: 19580 Really a GREAT game. Put together well and challenging. Seaweed Assault: 2584 Takes a while to get started on this game and then it kicks in. One mistake and it is game over. I like it. Dragon's Decent: 1592 Not really a game I play for a high score. Just trying to get further in the game. Right now I am stuck on the mid-boss. I go with Diamonds if I want to score high and I go with Fire-power and Health if I want to try to defeat the mid-boss. I am '0-9' on that mid boss. Any suggestions 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 For that boss I just ran around in a circle. There's a bit of luck involved I guess. I ended dying trying to take out one of those shadow guys on a lower level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
