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.  ?

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.

Once you get into the higher scores, the up/down motion WITH the dash button becomes clutch. That shark will turn on you quick, and you can't be lollygagging around when you approach.

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 :)

I just knew you would bust my score! You couldn’t just let my score stand, lol. And I had a feeling you were breaking your hands to do it. Nice job.

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!!!

I vote invisible robot.  I have a hard time killing something if I can't see it.

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!

Nice score man. I would do back-flips if I could score that high.... ?

Nice score.  What was your peak number of extra fish in this game?

Thanks !! 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 !! :)
