Okay, Gladiator time!

This is a really hard game to beat, but fortunately that's not our goal this week. All you have to do is play through Level 1, by beating each event once.

A couple of hints for the week:

Try to score at least 10 goals on Powerball. You get a bonus for scoring 5 goals, and a BIG bonus if you get to 10.

For Assault, you will score the most points if you destroy the cannon without taking any hits. I think it's worth 100 points for zero damage, otherwise it's only worth 50 points.

Yup, you got it.  With a little bit of practice, you should be able to beat every event pretty easily.

The single life rule isn't really meant to make the game harder.  It's more about seeing how high people can score by playing each event exactly once.

I'm not happy with this score. I wanted to get 600 points by beating each events.
My last game was a bummer. I finally got 10 goals at powerball for 220 points, but I died at the 3rd human canonball guy because I jumped on the rope too high. Ironically, I had 500 points when I died during this game...
