Important Note: This weeks competition is over and no further scores will be accepted.

 

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to score as many points as possible by destroying enemy ships, helicopters, planes, giant sharks, sting rays, squids, angler fish and lobsters before running out of fuel or crashing the flying sub. You may also acquire points by picking up the treasures that lie on the bottom of the sea.

Hints and Tips

The Manual

 

As always, you really should read the manual. In case you don't have the manual, AtariAge has a typed copy available online. Here are the hints it provides:

  • Obstacles always travel in groups: one in the sky, one on the sea, two in the water and one on the sea floor. Always approach these groups from the sky.
  • During sky travel, you can hear the bird, helicopter and plane before you see them. (The refueling ship can be heard in any position.) If it's the bird, skip it. If it's the plane, boat or helicopter, disable it before traveling underwater. Then you'll be safe from missiles when you enter the sea.
  • The seventh group of obstacles is always the mine field. If you survive, there is always an opportunity to refuel before advancing for the next treasure.

Finally seeing the orange ship. I must've been shooting it before I could get a good look at it.

 

Does this game get harder? Doesn't seem to be.

 

UPDATE:

69281 - Game does get faster, but easily neutralized.

Looks like you beat the Twin-Galaxy score. Congrats!

 

Thank you very much, Zoyx! I really beat Twin Galaxies High Score (119,608 by Robert T Mruczek), and it's my goal for this game!
