Focus on your combo. It takes 3 spins to get the ball up to maximum speed and a fast shot keeps the time between hits down and bounces around more creating more chains and cannons = good. So start spinning the next ball up as soon as you've released one but don't let it go until you're sure you won't get any more points from the ball in play before the combo times out. Hope that helps!
Nice one, Roger! Cheers Ryan! Some good tips by the developer there, and hopefully this video will help a little too. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Thanks for the video. It looks like keeping the combo is critical to a high score. Interesting how you rarely had the ball spin around completely before releasing.
Ya, I have been rarely letting the ball spin around at all. I've got my calibration on the trajectory of the release points and I just try to keep the balls flying. Is the dev saying tht it's beneficial to spin up some speed before release, because I've found tht to make precision aiming a lot harder whn it comes to hitting my release points. I kno it's a more powerful shot but only ends with me firing more misdirected shots and fewer shot rate. Someone elaborate please. ???
The game always starts with three big slow blocks. Don't spin and let them come very close to you. Now take them out, one by one with three slow spins = Triple shot. Don't spin already, only one big block is showing. Next slow shot...etc. Should you miss, repeat. In the beginning it makes no sense to spin fast. The blocks are coming one by one only. Also, your shot will rarely hit multiple blocks, not yet, but just in case, always watch your bullet(s) path while keeping an eye on the fading timer. The Devs really nailed this combo timer. Without missing you have the right time for your next slow shot for the next lonely block. Even with a possible miss (anticipate), one fast spin can iron it out and your combo going. I made my highscore with slow shots, mostly. I learned to appreciate the off-rail shots for the blocks near the wall. Very helpfull when fast spins were needed. The bullets seem to hit even more blocks (later in the game), due to flying across the screen (=more points) In case you didn't notice...too short taps will cancel your shots. When it gets hectic and fast shooting (not spinning) is needed, it easily can happen. Another reason to carefully watch the path when loads of enemies are on screen. Now you get your big points with one shot, while your multiplier grows. Mesmerizing stuff !
I am so glad to see this game get the recognition it deserves! I can't wait to see what else these wonderful devs can add to this gem in future updates! Great job Foxhole! ###
update coming very soon to fix a couple of lttle bugs then we'll get to work on adding features. What do you want to see? (bear in mind, I suck at programming so keep it simple )
I'm with him ^ Maybe some different falling shapes, different backgrounds once you reach a certain score...
Not knowing anything about programming, different backgrounds as an option sounds simple, and make the pause button transparent or touch anywhere on top to pause, please. Sometimes i'd wish to lock a soundtrack, specially Sunset Viper. Edit: i was totally mesmerized and in the zone with close to 30k when my akku died
This is awesome! Game center achievements - totally. Different backgrounds. - yeah, i like it. Locking a tune, easy peasy! Sunset viper is my fave too (one of tim's, not mine). Cheers!
Forum folks! At the risk of sounding like a politician, i need your votes! Your enthusiasm for Blokshot Revolution has been very humbling and the GOTW title would be like finishing the Week with an Oscar.
I feel your exitement but you forgot ^^^^ Maybe drop a line over there... My early bad and way too fast evaluation of this being a boring week will never happen again. No promises, but two other pearls are still UFC with yours. Hmmm...rock-paper-scissors...lizard-spock?
Gah! Yes I realised my error a moment after i reflexively stabbed the vote button. Can i retract my vote somehow? Just leave a post in the gotw thread to the effect of sorry, -1 for blokshot?
