There's no stopping this train, son. Choo choo.
 

i hate that train 😤😭
 

Is 200k possible in level 1? I'm always getting ~125k. Where are all the points coming from?

 

Snoopy (or Donald Duck on Famicom) is fun, but the pizza carry game is torture. The rest is pretty much a Track and Field/Caveman Games clone.



 

Presumably dragging the level out by only destroying certain objects/enemies

 

This is the correct answer.

Areas in this game are dictated solely by the death of the boss. The boss will appear after X number of "THINGS" are destroyed. Literally everything you destroy counts as 1 towards this counter. So if you go pacifist against the normal enemies and towers, you can get by only killing the mid-boss and blocks worth 1-2k each.

Also, the game and normal enemies progress in a linear fashion. What you see as being "Area B" I am seeing in Area A by dragging it out. The enemies always come out in the exact same order, and that includes the difficulty of those enemies. In other words, I am on Area A getting attacked by the enemies you're usually seeing in Area B and so forth. 

By doing this it's teeeeeechnically possible to get over 1 million points in Area A. But I'd argue that it's next to impossible, as it would require an ungodly amount of skill and luck. Not killing enemies in this game is typically a death wish.

I'm not saying that I regularly get 200k on Area A, just that I was experimenting with the game and was able to do so on a few occasions. It is not something that I would suggest for this competition.

kill everything as fast as you can in level one. i think? 
 

glovsie = compruter

i just tried to kill all the enemies as quickly as i could in order to get to the end boss sooner (kill x amount of enemies) but i ended up seeing wave b enemies before the boss appeared. so i dont know how it really works? i just killed more enemies than i usually do on stage one and the end boss came later?

perhaps you can only slow down when you go to the next area, not speed up?

This game is surprisingly technical. Gloves could write a thesis on it.

That's a very strange way for the game to work. I just tried it and it seems like it isn't worth it. It's way harder not shooting enemies. I always wondered why occasionally 1 or 2 more enemies randomly appeared at the end of stage one.

Yeah it's definitely not worth it.

it was one of the earliest "caravan" shooters. not sure when it got ported but it seems to play a lil bit ..... chinsey? 
 

skinny in the lead loosers  

i havent been able to get a clear shot at the row in a day 😡

I think you and I are the only ones to even get that far.  

Where's your score? I ain't seein' it sucka.

Well, this will definitely be a participation score week.
Going to be oh so busy Friday night and the whole weekend with pure and chaste activities.

FYI I will be able to hop on Twitch in about 10-15 minutes if anyone is interested in watching me play a bit. Lemme know!  

Here is my best score so far.
Score: 469500
Area: Z

I'll watch you play it. Maybe I'll pick up some strategies  

 

Lol I'm sure you're fine as is. ;P
 

i bet acromite has been there. score is up now. i was trying to use imgr and its like a caveman trying to teach himself how to read. 

that wave before the third mid/mini boss is pretty hairy. i can only get through like 1 of 4 runs. 
 

I am live now for those interested. Will be live for at least a half hour to an hour, whenever my wife gets home with dinner.
