fakecortex Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I'm finding controlling this one a little hard, but I've been able to steadily increase my score. Fun! 183,388 Wave 3 Round 2 Reading the manual for tips and points helps. Getting the bonus for all towers is hard, but it's a lot! Getting up there in waves and using the force on the last round has got to be key to massive scores. Looked that up- in order to "use the force" on the 3rd round, don't shoot anything except for when you hit the reactor port. I suppose that means just taking a hit on any fireballs that end up sneaking through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Our in-house programmer digress saves the galaxy somewhat and takes the round, kudos Gerry! A new HSC Wave 1 record and a new personal best as well, nice job. The field is shrinking, onto Round 6. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I shouldn't be surprised, haha. And great season @jblenkle I think you get the "most dedicated" award b/c I think you're in pretty much all of the HSCs (at least the ones I play, haha).
