doctor_shred Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I'll have to miss this one too. I've left it too late to buy the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songbird Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Trust me, this was not an easy achievement! It's really hard when they start moving fast and get behind you. I got stuck around 25K in a whole bunch of games this week, but I was in the zone for this one. Pro tip: any time the mushrooms turn red, you know you're in trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songbird Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Well done! That's a pretty high score for level 14. Must have fought off many spiders and fleas. ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+neogeo1982 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Well from levels 10-14 the spiders and fleas pop out almost as soon as you shoot the last. Level 17 must be non-stop cause on 14 I thought it was really fast ?. I was having a hard time getting the last couple pieces of centipede zooming around while spiders/fleas constantly appearing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 My best scores have come when I was in the zone on spiders. (Or the RNG was in the zone on me.) I have tried a bunch more but never had another great game. I think I topped out at 31000 since my high score. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a lot of fun tuning the game so enemies appear more frequently or move faster on the higher levels. Also I was very happy with being able to change the playfield look every couple levels as that provides visual feedback (in addition to the level indicator) that you're making progress. Good job on the scores! Maybe next time we do a Centipede comp I'll have to offer a prize to generate more interest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its all just for fun anyways, though a lifetime supply of JELLO does sound nice ?. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
