gar0u Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 21 hours ago, IntyFanMatt said: Yup, are you using the up/down motion? Yup. Nip the tail on the way up, clear the fin, then back down. More of a disc timing thing than a watch the screen thing. Haven't been doing great on subsequent plays. Not sure how the game can be "easy", but I can't get a good score at the same time. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I was starting off with the circular movement, but that up/down is the way to go! I wish I could get big enough to kill the shark in its face. Grrr. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shark will turn on you quick, and you can't be lollygagging around when you approach.

INTELLIVISION SPARTAN Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Guys... I use the dash button from the get-go to nip the shark’s tail. It’s just a good habit to get into. my wife flat-out refuses to use the dash button... and she has about a 50% rate of getting killed just getting one nip on the tail. happy-wife = happy-life..... so I tell her she’s “Doing great”.... but guys ... use the dash button 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INTELLIVISION SPARTAN Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 You guys inspire me! I remember what it took to push my score from 104k to 120k....... It was a journey that took years (with long breaks) ... that’s why I know 120k is Incredible! Every extra thousand after 100k is Well earned. What’s worse? The invisible robot? Or the shark? I think the shark . The invisible robot never comes at you a hundred miles an hour to make you feel foolish!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace24 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I have such a high failure rate with the shark after 90K that I started just going after smaller fish and avoiding the shark just to get some points. But I have to use dash continuously just to stay away from him. On the run all the time! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I peaked at around 107 fish. For a PB-run it was maybe just enough.... I had to scramble extra to get my score. I was looking for more like 115 but I couldn’t get there it’s kind of moot after seeing Matt’s score... but I appreciate your post !!
