15 How so? 8 on top of pillows 1 to form magic ramp 6 over ramp 1 crawler to target Am I missing you something you know?!!?!! Rhyno
Sjmc said: I've tried ramp jumping in 5 (very possible) So 8+1+5+1=15 if it is possible to send a doll on the target platform while falling in the second gap. I didn't try, but it could be an intersting way to search.
I think it's 8, 1, magic ramp, jump in 5 another 1 at gap, 1 on goal. But only on iPad, with sharp skills. --maybe on 4G iphone? I've crossed ramp with speed on pad, made the gap, but not had the oomph to top pillows. But that's where I was at one time with 17, 18, etc. Oh it's possible. X proved it.
As far as I am concerned Foxy, you are correct! This is not only possible I'm willing to put money on this being the method. 5,1 is doable. If dolls crawl or live off screen then you can get lower than 15.
This doll crawling or toss doll in gap was proposed sort of recently, some of Bill's research, I believe. As far as I know it's still unproven. My guess is that X made 16 the conventional way.
Wd 16 Hmmm -- anyone else notice that in the "win" zone -- the box to the left of the target it wide open on top ... I wonder if, when falling down the 2nd gap -- one could shoot a doll such that it goes up and in for the $$$ ?? I'm proud of you foxy for making the ramp in 5 with speed and got over the 2nd edge -- even if you didn't make it over the pillows .. hmm... that combination of "luck" seems mind boggling for X to do it that way ...
I've tried that shot loads - last night actually. So far no luck. Can't say it is not possible though. Mind boggling maybe - but my money is on this being how he did it.
Wow. A bunch of activity after I went to bed. Congrats Steve. The reason I would like the shot/reset counter is only for my own curiosity. Going by the numbers they gave me and counting Viridian I'm averaging over900 shots per level. Considering many levels I got on the first or second shot or had help that's insane. The last day I got Jail Guard I was saying to myself that I was just going to do 100 shots and then move on. I lost count and started to say "just 10 more and I'll quit." I ended up getting it during one of those extra "10s". On some of these levels you can be told exactly where the spot is and it still takes forever (Jail Guard, Catapult, Mega Ramp, Rebound, etc.) The stats could help us with establishing levels of difficulty for each shot. If somebody says they are trying to get to 245 and asks which of five levels easiest we can all say a number of shots it took. You can throw out the low numbers as lucky. I'd like to know if the guys at the top of the leaderboard are accurate/lucky or are they the world's fastest at shooting and hitting reset?
My personal take: For Stevie it's just a war. I think he puts in the hours and the dolls and gets what he deserves for the sheer effort. Phantom / Qambler. I think are just technically very good. I bet these guys have thrown fewer dolls than the rest of us. Then you have all of the rest of us. No slights intended but it's been clear from the offing that Phantom / Qambler were the trailblazers and Stevie came through just because he is so bloody determined. The rest of us have been hovering about and contributed but the three at the top deserve to be at the top imho. I would also love to see all of their dolls thrown / reset counts / time played.
I think Phantom and Steve are hurling more dolls. They aren't that lucky. They definitely deserve the top. All of us in the 240's club know just what we need to do to get to 239 but we're not there. There's luck involved but after this many levels we've all had luck and help so I think we're all even in that regard.
When I go to the doctor about my carpal tunnel and he asks me if I do any repetitive movements I guess I can ask "Is 134,000 in three months repetitive?"
Can anyone share some hints for shots 10-23 on Big Wheel? I've been stopping in 9, shooting five more to get going... then I wait until the cannon comes around to the 9 o'clock position, and shoot 9 more, trying to follow the tangents the whole way. Is this the right idea? And about the shot counter... I'd just like to know how many shots I've taken at Jail Guard. That level pisses me off so much. (Still at 250)
Steve, congratulations to RC and 238! You were the 3rd player to get RC! Right now 4 players have it in 1!
Congratulations and welcome to the sub-250 club! You have probably been there a while but since you cannot update your score we didn't know about it! You are #7 right now with 245 and there are 19 players in the sub-250 club (including baatraa).
Jail guard!!!!! I feel your pain with jail guard. i played that level for about 2 hours straight today!!!! every time i get a doll through he either hits the ceiling above the target or there is not enough momentum to get close enough. soooooo frustrating. i would love to know how many resets i have on that dang level (still at RIP 250)
I never thought it would happen But there it is! Thanks to all those who helped me out within the last couple of weeks, as I furiously tapped away at my iPod, and keyboard. haha. I just went back and found the date that I started again after my break at 299. It was June 5th, so that means I dropped 50 dolls in 24 days. My most recent shave: Big Wheel in 24, thanks to Vayduh's tip. I said I'd retire at 249, but... screw it, I need to get Jail Guard, or I'll never be happy.
