HSC18 Round 20: THE LONE RAIDER


Recommended Posts

Lone Raider - 2676 pts Learner / 20xx pts Trainee

 

Good thing that the HSC scoring is based on rank first, score second since I understand that the rank goes up when you escape back to the start screen and in order to not pick up a lot of points on lower levels, rank is primary.

Hmm, this time 2846 and Trooper rank. So, highest rank, lower score. Interesting.

Maybe evening i will few minutes more. Pity, that this round end today - i love this game, but i have no time to play...

My little tip on Lone Raider:  On the "jawbreaker/pac-man" screen, take your time and try to group the 3 enemies together.  With practice, you can "control" where they travel.  When they're traveling up or down, they will always turn left or right, depending on which side you're on.  They will always head toward your direction and they can't reverse direction, unless you're on the same level as them.  You can use this to your advantage and force them take paths that aren't the most efficient routes. If you're successful in grouping them together, you can slip right by them and clear the screen pretty easily.

 

If an energizer is coming toward you and you don't want to use it, duck down and let it pass over you.  That'll allow you to save it for when you really need it.

 

Hope this helps!

Yes but if you are the same level as others you might want to grab some more points on the early levels eh? Nice element of game choice. See my earlier comments and Deteacher's post above for more tips :thumbsup:
