Yeah really the only one I didn't tell them about is the million points cleopatra statue in the violet areas. And the vertically aligned arrows worth 80k per 10 consecutive, wracking up a good 160-240k in a single go.

Oops.

Hmm, this game is unpleasant. The sort of thing Bea and Gloves will swear isn't hard, because their Canadia and Brazil brains are wired differently

glovsie is really good at shooters. i dont know how far you have made it but the enemies eventually will come in more than one wave at a time.

The high score secrets were most definitely revealed for Klax.

I could have used a Target Renegade pointer though.

I'm in BIG trouble this week if people are getting scores in the six figures on one life....Don't have much experience with this game and the little bit I played yesterday proved that I have a long way to even sniff any of those scores.

Score update. Disclaimer, I died a second time trying to position the screen so I could get a legible score. No additional points earned but if that disqualifies it that is fine since I'll presumably update again anyways

I suggest focusing on level 1 to start. Keep playing it over and over until you can get over 100k in it.

My highest score in level 1 so far is 200k. But the method I'm using makes the whole game incredibly difficult.

I'll have to watch a video on that. I tried a few times and couldn't get him to die (and I play with my index and middle fingers for speed tapping), so I must be doing it wrong. Also I'm usually so f'ing sick of level 1 that I just want to get through it

Bad Street Brawler will be a lot of fun!
This, not at all. I have only played it 4 times so far, granted, but I am not enjoying nor feeling like putting a lot of effort on it. I might jut get a low participation score and move on.
That Snoopy game I have never tried before. Might be fun.

I can do a broadcast on Twitch later today if people are interested. I might not get so far while doing so, but I can explain how a few things work live.

i tactically (is that a word?) score around 125k on the first stage. 

i feel that might be my only chance at a win this week. unless you beat the game because around half way its gets insane, for me anyway.

If you can get far enough to pop a Cleopatra you should be able to guarantee yourself a top 3 spot. I doubt more than 3 people will get that far, if that many.

Naturally, doing so in one life will be tough for anyone to do.

my goal is to pop a cleo + a full row. its almost luck with the way the enemy wave will fall at that point.

Thanks for the tip. Thats mainly what I've been focusing on. So far my best score in Level 1 is about 68,000. Having a hard time getting that mid boss down early for the bonus. Seems like I'm firing as fast as I can, but obviously I'm not. Hopefully with practice throughout the week I can figure it out.

Make sure you're not shooting him before he starts closing. You should only have to hit him 8 times. If you shoot him before he starts to close you increase his health, drastically lowering your chances of success.
