www.atarimania.com Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Hi, Basically, blast everything in sight except the men at the bottom. You need to protect these guys, pick them up and drop them over the space station (or whatever that is). The SPACE BAR is for smart bombs and any letter key activates your shield. Awesome game -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I suck at this game. The gravity aspect is what gets me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted July 11, 2004 Author Share Posted July 11, 2004 I didnt play this way back since I didnt like the size of the 'guy' in the game - The proporations still seem a bit of but this is a fun shooter to play. 14040 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emkay Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Welcome krupkaj! I think my arse is going to get a beating this week! It seems you did put your hiscore in to early I was never really good in this game, but scores should be only put in above 30k points. Let's see what I can gain this time...

Goochman Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 I got a bit better - 18440 - Man, I am really missing something playing this............ Nice scores Bunsen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 I finally cracked 30K! Man this is tricky to master but alot of fun 46920 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I think this is the best game we have played so far (and I really like hero ) And this may be a tip, but I find it easier to hit things if I am flying toward it. And for the trailers, sit in one spot and slowly fall and keep shooting at it. (I think the "trailer level" is pretty tough) 61,790 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Latest score of the week then: 177050 /Troop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 I have to say I give up on this one - I cant seem to get into a rhythm and bust out - In fact I havent gotten over 30K again! Tips, secrets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 OK. Although I suck at this game I managed to break into a groove. My score? 88,510.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Tips or secrets.....well I guess I don't have much of that, sometimes it simply seems to "flow" . The only real tip I have is for the "trailers" I try to get them to come to the top of the screen and follow me up there and simply try to turn around and shoot them one by one. Oh and don't forget to really use the cloak to it's fullest on the higher levels since it's really the difference between failure and success when it gets real hectic. That's about it I guess......oh another tip, don't be afraid to use the "smartbombs" on the higher levels either since they're really needed. /Troop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
