Score: 2,985,180 Reviewed in German Appstore As Daver16TA A Swashbuckling Good Time!! In Cutlass Cove you're a pirate doing what pirates do best plundering merchants, getting rid of rival pirates, and sinking Navy ships that try to stop you! You get some Voodoo spells you can use like, summon Davy John's Hand to sink ships, create twisters to destroy ships, or create a whirlpool to suck up all the other ships you get these spells and more to help you get the highest score you can! The graphics for Cutlass Cove are very polished and look great with the animations for all the spells. The music is great and very fitting along with all the sound effects are top notch. The controls are great, easy to learn and very responsive though I do at times get the guns mixed up for which side is which but that is something you quickly get used to. There are tons of achievements to get along with openfeint and GameCenter support to keep you striving for the highest score. You also have ranks which require three different objectives to rank up and give a higher multiplier for even higher scores! The objectives can be very challenging at times but are rewarding once you get past them and keep you coming back for more. Overall this is a great game that's easy to pick up and learn but has enough challenges and fun things to do that you will keep coming back for more. At this price everyone should pick this game up because it's an absolute steal!

What usually gets you there is a rival pirate ship. If you can manage the merchant ships ok, then that's a good start. You have to make the rival pirates top priority at the expense of pretty much all else. You've got a few panic buttons at your disposal if a rival pirate looks like it's about to shoot - these are voodoo spells that will buy you time almost instantly: 1. Ghost Ship: You can't get a red cross while aboard this. 2. Whirlpool: This tends to pick most ships up in one go, preventing the rival pirate from sinking a merchant ship. 3. Hand of Davy: Davy tends to go for rival pirates and navy ships before merchant ships, so he can solve a rival pirate problem fast. Other tips: i. Don't waste spells and munitions when you've got things under control. ii. Don't wait until it's too late to place munitions. They have some setup time, so use them preemptively. iii. Navy Colors will free your movement up because you won't be getting shot at by the town or navy ships or merchant ships. It's hard to react quickly to rival pirates when you're slowed. iv. A Trawling Net, Brandy Slick or Powder Keg cluster in front of the town can give you a nice reprieve from navy ships. v. Try to keep a good position near the center of the screen so that no matter where the rival pirate enters from, you have a medium length shot with minimal flight time. vi. A Venom Shot pickup can really help for this one. vii. Take advantage of the calmer moments that spells like Hand of Davy and Tornado Storm afford you so you can set up munitions safely. And any other advice folks might have.
Try to start your bonus streak (after hitting consecutive ships w/o missing) before using the voodoo spells or the venom shot. I found this strategy really helpful to rack up lots of points, especially for the Whirpool, Hand of Davy, and Tornados.
This contest looks wicked! I just got the game today, and am currently going for a high score. I hope I can get 2'500'000 *fingers crossed*
Welcome aboard and good luck, KevinS and grandfizzo3! And it looks like armoko has shown Critical Dean who's boss on OpenFeint
