Love me some Tapper. But especially in the arcade. Such a fun control scheme.

 

177,350 Scene 11 (Skill 2)

 

Didn't realize how much higher my skill one score was (395k). Guess this level does up the difficulty. Never feels especially hard tho. I do find myself just wanting to finish the level so I can see a new screen, but they go on for so long...

69,625 - This one was never my game!  It took me awhile to figure it out, but the word 'SODA' is in the window!  (It looked like SOOR and was confusing!)

 

[JEFF31]

A little better.  Make to many mistakes...

Just curious...  Is it worth it to collect tips?   Doesn't seem worth it to me...   Empty glasses about to fall of course... but tips?

If you need a break, yes it's imperative you get the tips, I think it's 1,500 points?  that turns the patrons attention to the 'show', so you can clean up glasses and serve any new patrons that pop out of the holes - then plan what you are going to do next.

CV HSC High Score: Skill 2: First time playing Tapper on Skill 2 for the CV HSC. This means no record for Skill 2 has been set yet because it is the first time we are playing that particular Skill level for Tapper.

Sometimes, Yes. If you are close to finishing a screen, Never.

[Skill 2]:  197,925 pts

 

Unfortunate timing with the alien dancers grabbing the attention of the patrons as I was sliding a glass.  Haha.  Lost several lives that way.  Game over on screen 30.

Big congratz to zaphro72 on taking the round and setting a high score for Skill 2. Well Done! And of course a big thanks to everyone that partook in in this carbonated session, Thank You!
