crade Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) 39930 A few tips that took me a while to figure out for some reason: you can shake the seal off your trail by zigging back and forth or jumping in water so your trail vanishes you can make the rectangles as big as you want, the way the trail disappears is if: - you go in a direction other than making the 4 sides of a rectangle - you go past the start of your rectangle you can draw a second rectangle around existing water and it still will dunk those in the water Edited September 19, 2022 by crade typo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Another participation point here, as I recall wanting to like this game a lot more than I actually do. We did have some good laughs about this one when we played it a few seasons back. Aaaanyway, here's my score for the jackass penguin pranking all of his friends: Thin Ice - 6,270 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 15,730 I will post this for now,but if I can't get over 20k before this game ends,I may kick myself out of the HSC, because I shouldn't be allowed to qualify to compete anymore due to my poor play. But where else would I go to make off the wall posts like this one?🤔 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntellivisionMaster Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Lol ! Well at least I hold the “disgraced score” award for now! Considering it’s all relative. The last weekend of Dreadnaught, I was dreaming of hitting blue tanks … it was consuming my subconscious so I wouldn’t have to pull myself out of this contest.

wolfy62 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Well,I cleared 20,000 so I am satisfied with that! I will probably shoot for 30k or better now. I'm not very good at it,but I like this game. The graphics are great for a 1983 video game system, and the music is pleasant also. The gameplay is mostly smooth and entertaining. Fun retro stuff!!!👍 Score: 26,710 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
