+TwentySixHundred Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Ok pulled my finger out a bit and had a alot better runs, one thing i dont like is the placement after loosing a life. Fried two of my men right at the end as it placed me on the side with no where to run, then i got instantly bombed . Anyway this was my best run until the major bombardment happend.

+KaeruYojimbo Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The 3 reserve lives limit really stinks. I can pretty much always get to 40k without dying and those 2 extra lives would come in really handy after the game actually starts trying to kill me at the 40k mark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Rolled it! 99240At least, i think.

StanJr Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) 79435 Pretty nice improvement. My current strategy is to focus on the shaggy marsupods. They are worth the most (200pts) and they are the only thing guaranteed to kill you when they show up. I cannot figure out what governs their appearance, but they seem to come in clusters. I will go 10K and never see one, then all of a sudden see a dozen in 20 seconds. So when that happens I pretty much stop shooting at the guys in the sky and just focus on dodging their shots and blasting marsupods. By staying near center and pushing back and forth I can rack up points pretty quickly until the cluster ends. Sometimes you can get lucky and the flying enemies will get stuck in a vertical movement and you can sit relatively safely. That's what I'm working with right now.

StanJr Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Well done, S.BAZ I'm coming for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 If the flying things start moving only up & down, just sit & wait, for ease & safety. Shoot scragglers until they start moving horizontally again. Practice having 100% hit-percentage, that makes the game easier too i found. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 What game was released first Space Cavern or Space Canyon. They seem to be the same games just different graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacey Invader Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 41,810 Hasty score just to get on the board. The games seem to run much longer than the score reflects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
