MoonlightKnight Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Hi there! After about an hour I managed a whopping 625 and I'm so never playing this game again. Please, try at least variant #1, H.E.R.O. normally has a really friendly difficulty ramp. Hm... some tips: - The lamp is always on the right side. - While you need to go away quite a bit from the dynamite horizontally, a few pixels do vertically - In 95% of cases, the more difficult looking path is the right one Greetings, Manuel 991759[/snapback] I've played all the variants myself, but like many others here, I completely suck at level 5... I can't even finish the first level, even though I know the map pretty well after playing it a few dozen times. I'm afraid this is my best score for this game at that difficulty: HERO score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Hi there! I completely suck at level 5... I think it's the other way round. That randomisation is totally bogus for a highscore contest. I usually lose lives in levels 13-14 and higher, so basically my score so far is just a series of good luck. (2-3 hard levels in a row and I'm busted.) Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Back from visiting my brother for Xmas and New Years. Hope y'all had as much fun over the holidays as I did! 12,325 - played a few rounds for my token entry. I'm off to bed to recoup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 A token score for the participation point. 1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercat Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) A token score for the participation point. 992990[/snapback] I got 1000 too, losing my last life in the screen with the red lava wall in the middle. Three games later: 1350. Edited January 3, 2006 by supercat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keilbaca Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 After about an hour I managed a whopping 625 and I'm so never playing this game again. 991556[/snapback] That's about the same for me, it was so bad I never bothered to post a score.

Lauren Tyler Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 OK, so where's this week's game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Scientist Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Re: next game: I submitted one (actually two, as I noticed on Monday that my first selection had been used last year). I'll leave it to ze_ro to confirm it, but I will name the game this evening if he has not already done so by then. -Mad Scientist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi there! Is it Air Raiders? Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Scientist Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) Hi there! Is it Air Raiders? Greetings, Manuel 993295[/snapback] Nope, it's not Air raiders, although I should try that one sometime. I'd prefer to wait for ze_ro's new top-level post so that scores don't get posted in the wrong thread... -Mad Scientist Edited January 3, 2006 by Mad Scientist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was hard, no matter how many times I played. There was nothing random about it. It was just a hard level all around.

Ze_ro Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Well, that's the end of this week, I hope you all enjoyed H.E.R.O. Yeah, I'm a little slow this week... sorry about that, work has been busy. Anyways, the next game has been posted, so go check it out! --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybergoth Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Oh no! Playing a normal game starting from level 1, I was sooo close to beating H.E.R.O. this time! I died in level 19 with a score of 150.805!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Great score! Level 20 is a real killer. I rarely clear it without losing 1 or 2 men. Time is also such a factor due to the length of level 20. Hope you make it to the "pro"'s soon on H.E.R.O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Thanks! I've been only playing it casually the past ~20 years, slowly improving my skills. Maybe it's time for a serious attempt at beating it now (Though making it past level 20 is good enough for me, I won't go for the !!!!!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Argh! So close. Soo Close!! I made it to Level 20 with 3 lives left, but failed. Final score: 175.745 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I made it! I made it! I made it! *jumpsaroundlikeasquirrelwithburningtail* I've seen the light! I mean "LEVEL:PRO"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
