Recommended Posts

New NTSC QIX record from orpheus :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

think I'll try and keep both PAL and NTSC record scores from now on (will edit some in from time to time)...

 

35617 - to get one on the board, I just can't get to grips with this game..

Welcome (back) jdh :thumbsup:

 

For anyone struggling there's a few Qixing strategies kicking around here, so take a look at some of the screenshots for inspiration. [i'm grinning at Firestorm's picture] For me staying on the tree / off the top is a good idea ;)

 

Alternity 13,486 gotta be patient early on :ponder:

Don't forget the Qix bonus challenge - set the Sparx timer to 10 (Option/F4) and Alternity is a bit more relaxing after a traumatic Qix session :D

Finally (sort of) settled in my new home so no more excuses for not posting a few scores.

 

I thought 30025 was a respectable score till I looked at the competition.

 

Guess I must try harder:

 

 

 

 

2nd go was much better - the old X9 multiplier comes in real handy: 366540

I decided to give it 1 more try - it was either that or do something useful with my afternoon:

 

763,458

 

I was doing alright until I decided to change my playing strategy from holding down F1 and dashing straight up then nibbling little bits here n there to nibbling from the start when I got to 700k - a terrible attack of the jitters took over and I barely managed to snag another 63k.

 

 

 

The sparx time was set to 10 (What diff does it make?)

 

Does this mean I get a point?

Woah! Awesome score there matey :thumbsup:

The default time before extra Sparx are released is 40, but playing on 10 makes the game harder (no scoring advantage as far as I can see) so I guess your score goes down for both. :thumbsup: Let me know if you are playing on PAL or NTSC (in video settings). Not sure if you're doing this but holding down fire doubles the fill points!!

 

 

Alternity 24,748 - still not got past 2nd round :twisted:

How do you guys doing that? So high scores.... I am trying hard but can not reach better score than around 80K :mad: . Something tells me it can not be so incredibly difficult, I must be missing some major point of this game. Someone post a video with reaching score around 700K and make a paid access - who cares, and I will be the first subscriber! :grin:
