+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I was wondering why it was so quiet around here until I realized it's only Tuesday... So I'm just going to submit early. I doubt I'll try to top it this week. Good luck, everyone! 545 - 20 = 525 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thanks! I changed my strategy up a bit. I try to avoid higher jumps since they're harder to control and frequently send me into the water. Most bugs eventually get low, so wait and get them with little jumps. It's more about the putting than the drive 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZillaRUSH Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Week 4 score: 475-85 = 390 My highest yet. Still using std method. I tried direction + tongue and it does not seem to work (pressing enter button)? No arc change at all. Hmmm...is there a technique? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 It's the Enter button, but you have to press it after the game starts (not at title screen). You can change modes and back again anytime during the game. I start a game by pressing the disc and then I press the Enter button twice (just to be sure).

ZillaRUSH Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Perfect! Thanks! I will give it a try for Week 5. Aiming to break 500 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Just to add....the longer you hold down the disc the farther/higher you jump. It takes some practice to not hold to long, which almost always sends you into the water. Also, not every jump needs be from one Lily Pad to the other. If you do fall into the water you'll climb back onto the edge of the Lily Pad, but feel free to reposition yourself into the middle of a pad with little jumps.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I wonder what the maximum possible score is. I bet one could break 1000. Someone should watch a match and calculate the total point value of all of the bugs that enter the screen, assuming you caught them all. I bet it's higher than you'd think.

Someone should watch a match and calculate the total point value of all of the bugs that enter the screen, assuming you caught them all. I bet it's higher than you'd think. The catch is that new bugs come out faster the faster you catch them. Thus, any number derived from caught bugs + missed bugs would just set a lower bound on the max possible score. Probably would have to look at fastest catch rate and the points distribution for the bugs that enter the screen. Still would be an interesting exercise.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 You are my hoppin' hero! Was this using the low-jump method? Mostly. Big jumps are tough to control, but easier if more vert and less distance. I generally try to hunt the lower half of the screen and let the bugs come to me. Also, I slowly work across the screen making as many as 4 jumps in the same direction as opposed to alternating Lily Pad to Lily Pad. Also, you can squeeze in about 4 tongue shots in a higher jump, so don't forget the work the tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
