Jasonhrb Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Improvement on Demons to Diamonds. This is one that I'm enjoying more and getting into the nuances of it. In some ways it's actually quite original for the time, especially with the dynamic of needing to shoot some things and not others (rather than the "blast everything you can" dynamic which was the norm at the time. It adds an element of strategy that in some ways makes the choice to present this as a "designed for children" game a bit odd. It's great fun though, and I'll definitely try to play more before the weeks out. Anyway, that's enough from me. Here's a new score : 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keir Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I just noticed that I made it to the top 24. I think that’s pretty good given that I missed the first 6 weeks (on the other hand, there seem to be only 24 people who play consistently so…) Hopefully I get done more play time this week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kermit73 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Demons to Diamonds: Rollage I found it best to play this game in a very patient and methodical manner, especially as you get to the more challenging rounds. Early in the round, the key is to see where the skulls initially spawn. I may not fire at all and just focus on avoiding their fire and positioning myself in a spot where all the moving skulls are moving away from me. At that point, I'll take one carefully aimed shot at one of the red demons and will only attempt to shoot the resulting diamond if I have a clear shot. Rapidly firing at everything that looks like a good target can lead to a full screen of skulls. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absalon Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 New score for demons and diamonds: 8015 Getting better step by step. And yes, going slow in later levels is the way to go. Maybe I can hit rollage until sunday. I will try. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keir Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I was clearly doing something wrong in my last Street Racer attempt so just ignore that. Unfortunately even after figuring it out I didn’t fare much better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonhrb Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Done it - Demons to diamonds rollage I have got to the point where I can consistently get to about 7k on my first life. But the difficulty from about 8,500 is just ridiculous. At that point, I am very much just moving around trying to stay alive and shoot things on the bottom couple of rows, and any success or otherwise at that point feels more like a matter of chance than anything else. Of course it doesn't help that at the point where I knew rollage was close, I was keeping half an eye on the score and one hand on f12 for a screenshot, and the distraction caused a couple of deaths in the 9,500 range. I also had a game where I hit 9,800 and then lost my last life trying to get a screenshot. I know that would have counted as rollage, but wanted to do it properly Anyway, that's enough of me boring everyone with details of how I got to rollage.

Jasonhrb Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) Well, given this game was apparently designed for people in the 6-12 yr old range, my 6yr old daughter wanted to have a go and see if she could beat the grown ups. I think that it is a bit too hard for children, as my daughter kept shooting pink demons by mistake and ending up witha secreen full of skulls very quickly. Still, she had a go and asked me to post her score, so here is an effort from Izzywizzy Edited December 18, 2022 by Jasonhrb 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
