There are also small pyrimid shaped "enemies" that will complete an entire column when jumped on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emkay Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 So here's my final score... And... yes, they are mushrooms :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 At the beginning of the week who'd have thought Schmutzpuppe would be in 3rd place with his 165K score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 If you colorize a row it stays permanently colored. Keep that in mind when developing your strategy. Do you mean that a horizontal row stays permanent, or a column (as seen going into the screen) stays permanent? I seem to remember from playing last night that if you complete a column, then you see a colored square flash over the whole column. I also thought that the badies discolored tiles, even if a row was complete... could be wrong. Thanks for the hints, I still only got about 7700... I suck! Yeah your right. I always get the two mixed up. That would be a column. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Shannon - thanks for the pause and kill hint - didnt realize I could get rid of the baddies. I am now retired from this game 205821 Your welcome. But next time you use my tips.... Don't get such a good score.. K...?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybernoid Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Well, it is not a HIGH score, but I had fun trying... I had fun playing this game 20 years ago, I still enjoy it! 43402 - My first try at the HSC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emkay Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 @Cybernoid For getting a better score, you have tor try optimizing the Bonus-Rounds. With every thousand points you gain one life more. So I made very much mistakes in the Bonus-Rounds, I would say my score easily can be beaten with ~ 20000 points more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 211, 927... The game actually ends at some point, so it's gonna be tough to get much higher scores. I nearly freaked out when it said "winner". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 211, 927... The game actually ends at some point, so it's gonna be tough to get much higher scores. I would say the game has 20 levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 205K and I wont even be in the Top 3 I wont have time to play this again to break my current score - bummed, but glad we all broke this game open - No need to go back and play this for another 15 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just hard to play at work, constantly looking over your shoulder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devwebcl Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 only for the stats: I didnt like this game before, I dont like it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I have already given up on trying to top these 200k+ scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I have already given up on trying to top these 200k+ scores. Hehe.. The key is the bonus round. Problem is, lose your concentration just a bit and POW end of round. The later levels are hard with the xbox pad cause it dont do diagonals well.

bjk7382 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I have already given up on trying to top these 200k+ scores. Hehe.. The key is the bonus round. I can get 4000-5000 every bonus round, but then when I get to the next level I get put on the board in a bad place and killed instanly. This games randomness on the levels pisses me off. I think the bonus levels are the only good part of this game. What are you guys getting on the bonus rounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 I averaged about 4K - I usually would only lose 2 - 3 lives a board, but on 1 board I lost like 10 men - Then I had to play really cautiously and made it to lvl 19 (didnt realize 20 was the max ) - but anyhow Im happy with my score.

Goochman Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 Folks, Im heading out of town soon so I wont be able to close out this week - Ive got a feeling I wont see any new blockbuster score but if something comes in I wont be able to update it until Monday. Also, Read the HSC12 Shamus post and get going - The point standings are not updated in that post but will be once I get back. Good luck!

Shannon Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I usually get 3000-4000 in the bonus rounds. I'm much better at the rainbow part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
