Editorb Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 To be clearer, I thought allowing crashes into dying bosses to refight the boss battle was a kickbuttocks hidden feature. Turns out I reckon it must have been unintentional. Although when I won the LS contest, it was noted my score might have been higher than achieved during testing, so I figured testers must have been crashing intentionally. Anyhoo, I enjoy the tweaked backgrounds and whatnot, although I'm generally concentrating on laying waste and don't pay graphics overmuch attention.

People have often said, "Boy, you're a real winner," but it was obviously sarcasm. I'm fairly flabbergasted as I spent hours on Rebooteroids and never got a score in any variant close to those atop scoreboards. I'll shed a little light now that I'm officially 10 feet tall and covered in gold: I mentioned earlier that I kilt myself by crashing into a boss after destroying it, regenerating the dude and letting me whack it again. (The boss, not, you know ...) I noticed sometimes I got 50,000 points, and sometimes 100,000. I thought for a while it was a reward for a certain number of boss kills. Nay, I discovered in last week that you get 50,000 for killing it, plus 50,000 if you can score a second shot after death throes arrive. It's tricky cuz you lose ability to fire as it's dying. After experimentation, I learnt that although it's more intuitive to think you'll get a double kill as it's zooming toward you, it's only possible as it moves away. So, I blast it until it has one shot left (I can't see health bar on right side of screen for first kill many times due to cropping; it's much easier to see after first kill.) Wait until it zooms away, and double blast it. Try to make sure it's toward center cuz sometimes you can't kill yourself if it's too far to right. The easiest bosses to whack with this technique are second and fourth. I generally have 54 rescues after first level(s), procure both extra shots, plus two lives. Get to second boss, kilt it until 3 lives remain, then do vertical stage. Top off lives to 9 after third stage and buy coupla shields, then whack fourth boss until 3-4 lives remain. Fifth boss tougher to double kill but heroes do what they can. I may be able to top 2 million, but my other video games are considering class-action lawsuit for lack of consortium. Aside from such chicanery, memorize everything; it especially is handy when pesky foreground blocks the proceedings and you have to go by cranial memory and sound. Thanks creating this'n here masterpiece, and your generosity in offering prize(s). As a greedy Amerikan jackowitz, I have not forgotten the solemn pledge that first to reach top rank would receive a smaller prize. Heyo! I'll get you my mailing info sometime soon. Thanks again, Mr. Jones, sir! On 4/18/2022 at 6:34 PM, Editorb said: I generally save 54 Waving Dudes in first horizontal/vertical level; buy three-way shot, rear shot, and two extra lives. After second H/V levels, max out extra lives at 9 (I start game with 7 lives) and use rest of money on shields. I don't buy more then four shields total through rest of levels because it gets hard to lose enough shields to ram boss with ship and die before it gets off screen, which allows the chance to rack up 100,000-point double-shot kills. I've mused on recording a longplay but lack knowledge. A friend has been working on a setup, but I've hesitated to pester him with questions because he's an accountant and was in the bowels of Tax Season.

Don't try to kill everything; Last Strike isn't Raiden (mercifully). Move ship only when necessary. I move quickly to general place I need to go, then tap and release D pad to fine-tune if time permits. Fly low. The bottom of screen is often the safest from flying enemies and projectiles, and you get to destroy lots of stuff from side. When I scored 2.6 million, I was a bit conservative killing bosses to ensure I had enough lives to get through vertical sections. I suspect that if I had a perfect run and used more lives on bosses, it's possible to top 3 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
