Haha so secretive SumoSplash. Yeah, im talking about survival mode too.. Although im no.7 in hardcore and I havent really gave conquest any love, I should to see what i can get. Can I add you? Added you, im no.1 baby!
El thanks for finally putting into words what I have found myself doing since day one with this game. I get so excited making sure I miss none of the power ups that I end up accidentally chasing after the enemy shots. It is due to similar movement speeds like you said. I also think the fact that 7 or 8 out of 10 objects on the screen are power ups with one or two bullets mixed in. It's not bullet hell, it's bullet cloak.
Are you Adric? How the F did you break the 2,700,000 mark? Damn it. EDIT: Oh, someone broke the 2,800,000 mark! Wow, I have to knuckle down here. I really think your best score is dependent on the type of drops you get. I get games with ridiculous drops and other games where nothing good drops at all. Either way, I am busting my ass to get to that 2,600,000 mark. I might have to make a deal with the Devil to pass it.
Yes, that is me Well, I got a bunch of 2.6 mil until finally i got lucky and hit 2.7 mil ha. Yeah, I agree, depends on drops as well as other little things
Other little things, eh? Grrrrrrr It's the luck of the draw and a balance between extreme hustle that doesn't result in flying your ship totally out of control I'm going nuts trying to break my score. Need to take a break.
Ok, ill tell you the little things... which you probably do anyway =P Apart from extreme hustle, which is true, other things to aim for are: *Clearning waves as fast as possible. *Not hanging onto your bomb for the duration of the game. Sometimes when there are a lot of creeps (i dont know the actual name) on the screen, use your bomb and hope and pray that you get another =P *Yolo *If you get hit once (and lose the multiplier), no point in continuing, just restart. *Wingmen are kind of crucial to getting a really good score, especially when they are leveled up to the laser. *When a power up is on the screen, dont just race and grab it (especially if there are no creeps), try and hold off as long as possible until you will truly benefit from and make use of the power up Thats about it =P
I do all of them except I keep my bomb. Besides being the only protection from getting hit besides the shield, I see little purpose to setting it off intentionally to kill enemies, simply for the fact that I usually will get hit at some point and it does it for me.
Got the high score on survival after playing it over and over for an hour! I don't feel that I played much better in my high score game than the other times I played I think it was mostly do to really good drops (and of corse not getting hit and getting all the bonus times) and to the person that wanted to know the levels with high score mine was 35 Now I need to go back to conquest to try and beat that impossibly high score
My technique is just like foxlyfe described basically play as flawless as possible and luck of drops for me it was having wingmen with lasers for most of the game
duckee75 knows what's up! Just got survival no.1 score! It's all about the start (clearing those first two waves) and I also use bombs at the right times. SumoSplash use the bombs and you will beat your score! Also, it MIGHT be possible to break 3 mil? I am fairly close! Thanks duckee75, I set my high score on lvl35 too, pretty sure that it does not go past that lvl? If it doesnt, that means there is a perfect score, Volbard enlighten us!
BAH! 2,670,780, right underneath Tang1986! Well that is my best yet, although I actually only got one bomb. I did get crazy power ups though.
duckee75 - Ha sorry. It was an accident, on the train ride home, just in la la land and i got it after a few attempts SumoSplash - nice job! Keep playing, use the bombs one a full screen of creeps, esp towards the later lvls!
2,844,064! I'm hot on your tails! I am playing with SUPER intensity, pretty much as focused and as frantic as I can possibly play.
It might take some time but it's worth the investment, trust me! It's like Thief, in shmup form! But yes, you can't play with the thousand yard stare, you have to identify each object. (This is not a bad thing! )
Oh and since you're here, I wanted to tell you that the crash issue I was having resolved itself when I switched to iOS 6, so I never did the crash report stuff. I can only assume it was an issue with 5.
2.2 million in Survival, I've got to be satisfied with that. Edit: 2.470.000 now, and sneaked into the top 10. I've got y'all in my sights.
