Any hot tips? Fun but hard! Awesome score jblenkle! 66,130 Level 6 Only tip I can think of is keep practicing! The enemy's movements are pretty much the same every time (unless you block them differently)...so when you start a level you can anticipate where they are going. I probably should find a manual for this and read it so I know what's going on. Edited April 19, 2020 by jblenkle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Almost beat my high at the buzzer, but I think I jinxed myself. It's crazy just how many more points you get for finishing with higher percentages. Fun game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
