Scrabbler15 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 42,985 I won't be approaching Oyama's 1 million, so I'll keep pushing until I feel safe for this round. I hardly ever played H.E.R.O. before, so I'm having a lot of fun with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Pro-tip: To practice the higher levels, select the other game variations. Top notch game... wish I was better at it. Edited January 3, 2012 by Zoyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I really like this game, but, I really, really, like truly, hate the propellar controls. I understand it's part of the challenge of it all, but it makes it too easy to make a little slip and if the timing on it were better stuff like that one damn snake in level 9 or 10 (forget which one, he's in a narrow corridor and you have to time your drop to pass him) make it annoying. Wish there was a way to control your hover better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyamafamily Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 TIP: Study H.E.R.O. maps to be motivated!! At this page (link above), there is a video which shows how to play Level 20 and Completion Screenshot (which shows the maximum score of 1,000,000 = ! ! ! ! ! ! ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 How do we work multiple non-participants? My two-cents would be that (non-participant) = (score of 0). Therefore, as of right now, there would be many people in last place with a score of zero. It might be good to update the list with this assumption. Vocelli, eventhough he has the current lowest score submitted, is not the lowest score in danger of elimination. Also, along these lines, if multiple players each tie for last place (whether it is due to no submission or otherwise) then we would have to discuss how to handle it. All of the last place finishers could be eliminated, but then this may mess up the weeks/game selections. Or, we could do a random lottery to pick one to eliminate. Other thoughts?

Zoyx Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 My thought is to drop all non-participants - no lottery or tie-breaker. The games selected by non-participants would be eliminated as well... unless we already played that game, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
