Lynx High Score Club 2021 Round 5 Rampart

[unoclay]

@jgkspsx really appreciate the tips.  Basically i havent been considering the rebuild limits enough, i.e. i need to leave room around the parameter for reconstruction.  I.E. placing cannons away from walls, or even skipping new cannons.  I got my best score so far using these tips (a lowly 12000) but i can see some new ways to try and play.

This is really interesting to me, since i usually can master a game like this (puzzle action) and i see you guys just mopping the floor with me, even after practice.  I think i have trouble with the semi-janky tetris aspect (random pieces with no predictable order or shape) and the slow rotation/cursor movement, but im getting slightly better. 

Thanks for hosting this HSC @roadrunner.  I love the chance to practice these games i might otherwise ignore.

You know you can hold "b" while moving the cursor during the battle phase for faster movement.

@jeremiahjt  I didnt know it at first, but then i did figure that out later on.  A big help for sure.  Its still the challenge of the random pieces spawning, and getting "worse" as the game goes on. 

 

I wonder, do the pieces get worse over TIME, or do they get worse (more complex, less useful shapes) based on the number of pieces you've used, cumulatively?

Oh, also, always start moving the cursor towards the enemy fleet as soon as you have placed your last cannon and continue to move it towards them while you’re waiting for “fire!”
