Intellivision HSC Season 13 - Game 4 - Shark! Shark!

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

I’ll need 150 extra fish to get Matt’s score   

 

Which would be impossible!!!

I’m sure you are gunna put your hands through hell and try. 😊

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

I’ll try ONE more... but (and I’m not being modest)... I have a 0.0000001% chance of matching your score

Nice score man. I'm still in the 70k range. This game has been a BIG problemo for me.... 😤

[fakecortex]

This shark gets frickin' fast man. Got a new high of reserve fish too: 21! I love and hate this game at the same time. There's accomplishment in going up the chain, and then it's all taken away like that. Then I get to 30k and the shark goes after me double time.

So I gotta ask, are you using the up/down method to attack the shark? 

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

This is as high as I can go.

Great effort though!  You still have another week to bust your thumbs...

Thanks !!!! In this one, I pushed myself to get one extra nip on a fish wherever possible.... but this would be my absolute best game..... 140k / 145k is just un-realistic

I hear ya. It’s very tough to increase scores unless you have tons of lives once you reach 100k.

I am, but I guess I'm not fast enough when he gets faster b/c he seems to snag me.

Ok, it might just be that you need to start doing it with the dash button to get quicker, that should help!

Watch for the larger fish in the way. They go in there on purpose, just to disrupt you. Swim around them and then nip the sharks tail. There’s a big blue round fish that’s designed just to get in your way. Same with the lobster. He’s there to jump and grab your fish if you try to nip the shark’s tail near him. 

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

When you’re large, they send out the jellyfish.... they try to corner you. Watch for it. You can swim around their Cornering attack if you’re careful.

Next 10K level improvement! Slowly but surely, I'm gettin' there. And don't call me Shirley.

I love that we’re doing this in the run up to Shark week!

It is definitely a great game!  The better you get, the more fun it is.  Enjoy!

I like how any game at any moment has the potential to be your personal best. That's good game design. 

 

A single good run or two can turn any game around. All you have to do is survive at size 5 and rack up those lives! 🙂
