+Nathan Strum Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Haven't had much time to play this week. 58,730 Some tips though: About level 5, I start adopting a strategy: Stick to the bottom two (or three) rows, and ignore everything above that. Ignore the arrows, the prizes, everything. Just shoot what's in the bottom rows, and only collect prizes when you know you can do it safely. When the round comes to an end, you may have a few tanks and cannonballs to clear out, but you won't have any busy rows below you anymore, so you can take your time to pick them off. It takes longer to score points this way, but it's safer. You can't just stay in one row, however, since they'll send one of the "ships you can't shoot" at you. But all you have to do is patiently hop back and forth between a couple of rows to avoid that. I end up dying more on my way back from retrieving a prize than any other way - inevitably slamming into something when I return to the center column. So after awhile, I just ignore the prizes, too, unless it happens to be in the row I'm in at the moment, and I've got a clear row to escape into. As long as you don't move left or right - you don't have to go down a row with the prize in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymailman Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 This will probably be my last go at this game. It was addictive and fun. I broke the 90k level but couldn't roll it. 90,300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Why can't Taz have these kind of precise controls? Rolled it 100510 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Not much better. I get up to the same level each time, then end up losing 5 or 6 lives. Just don't have the thumbs this week. 59,290 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
