My in-game Game Center photo is my original one... I changed it to something else but it's still the same in this game. That's odd. (The original disappeared in Game Center... twice... for whatever reason... also odd.)
Lightning Fighter and Lightning Fighter 2 for example have the relative control just about right - I don't have lift my finger to simply move across the screen, one swipe is enough. On Sky Force 2014, EVERY SINGLE TIME I need to move across the screen takes 3 swipes! Even moving short distance (I play with my thumb) needs at least 2 swipes, which requires me lifting my thumb! And the game stops frustrating players even more!
What happened to AdanSantos? He's not in the top of my list anymore. My scores on iPhone 5S: 1: 1,254,750 2: 1,938,375 B1: 550,830 (haven't tried much on this yet) 3: 3,237,000 4: 3,324,675 5: 3,981,750 (haven't gotten 100% on all yet) 6: 3,212,100 7: 4,042,800 (haven't gotten 100% on all yet) 8: 3,971,100 (finally beat the boss on insane) Total: 25,145,160
Try using any other finger but your thumb. Keep it below the ship, and I promise you, you won't have to lift your finger to reach the edges of the screen. The only time I lift my finger is when I want access to the special weapons and if I get too close to the edge, never, ever do I have to lift my finger otherwise.
Move your finger then keep it on the screen and your ship will keep going to catch up with how far you moved your finger. (With relative touch control.) There's a card that increases ship speed and you can get 3; you'll move a lot faster with that.
ok I will try, but this is hard and the game lags a bit when airplay is on and the audio is also gone with airplay on, so I am not sure what I'll be able to do, maybe 100% enemies and all humans, I am not able to do this with staying untouched ad won't be able to collect all stars, also not sure if someone without health regeneration would survive it...
Maybe he cheated after all, dunno. But his score seemed a bit unrealistic unless there is some unknown way to get a million extra points. I'm at 28,67m, kakkaduan is at 28,71m and I don't think anything more than maybe 20k extra per stage and 150k for 100% stars and no damage on stage 8 is possible, so maybe 29m are doable, but I doubt 29,9m can be done unless there is some way to get 900k extra points in some way unknown to me.
I think you can get extra points if you rescue a VIP since you get all those stars. That might be one way. Hope you don't mind that I just added you on gamecenter.
I have yet to see any of those VIPs. It's np, if I recognize someone who posts regularly in this thread then I will accept, but not those dozens requests per day from some people who apparently see me in the top 25 list and who don't even write a message when they try to add me... Here is the stage 8 insane youtube video, it's from a mediocre try, I got 96% stars, 98% kills, missed a couple of humans also, and wouldn't have survived if I didn't have the health regeneration card. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Made some comments in the video, I hope you find them useful! Would appreciate to learn some different strategies how to handle certain situations from other players.
I asked the developers here: they don't give more points. You'd have to wait for a VIP to show up... and in the right stage. That would've been very annoying. What about friend rescues? When a friend dies in a stage, you can save them like the regular and VIP characters... I think I got stars in one case... And I'm not entirely sure how it works in a non-tournament stage... I hope they don't give points. You'd need friend(s) to die in the stage so you could get more points... That would be annoying.
I am still here, and trying to find out why I'm not on the leaderboards. Rescuing VIP's does give you lots of extra stars, which multiplied by 15 is, well, a lot of points. Today I bettered my score on stage 1 by 13.500 points saving JUST one VIP (there were no extra stars from friends, as that feature doesn't work for me anymore - my previous score was done saving quite a few friends).
That shouldn't be right... Post #700: Post #705: ...But do friend rescues give points, and their stars...? So that's no?
They most certainly are NOT point-less. I saw it with my own eyes this morning. This is not even up for debate as far as I'm concerned. As for friend stars they also are NOT point-less.
That's a problem... It shouldn't require such things to be able to compete for high scores... way too annoying to have to wait around for a VIP or have your friends get killed in the stage... Just making sure; you have the latest version of the game?
Agree with that 100%, rescuing friends and VIPs shouldn't have an impact on the score, especially if you can't rescue them again. There should be a level playing field for the scores. I don't even like the random crate contents as the score is more or less determined by how lucky you are with crates containing stars. This feels more like playing the slot machine than playing well. The randomness of crates containing a power up or not is ok maybe, but I shouldn't have to hope that the crate does NOT contain a power up because then my score would be lower. Hitting the crate should give you the same score, no matter what it contains. The same goes for the tanks, they also sometimes seem to contain stars, and sometimes not, which again is like playing the slot machine.
Just think of it as a loophole. And why wouldn't saving more friends not improve your score?? Is it not more work/effort? Yes, I am on 1.22, but nothing has changed from previous versions regarding friends or VIP's for me.
