Vocelli Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Ok.... We have 2 matches... which surprisingly, I didn't think would happen with the first 5 picks. So, here we go. Comparing the Top 4 ranked players 1st pick..... there were no matches. Comparing the 2nd picks with the first picks.... And we have a Match! Game 1 : Super Breakout (Games 5 + 7) PLEASE POST ALL NEW SCORES and PLEASE help me by listing what game is posted. AtariSphinx had Super Breakout #1 and SkippyBCoyote had Super Breakout #2. Now... Comparing the 3rd picks with 1st and 2nd picks.... and we have a match! JasonHRB picked Gravitar 3rd and AtariSpinx picked Gravitar 3rd as well. Game 2: Gravitar (Game 5) PLEASE POST ALL NEW SCORES AND FOLLOW THE RULES! No need to compare the 4th picks ... because we have made our matches. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. If you make it to the next round.... I will need a NEW list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonhrb Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Lauren Tyler said: What's your strategy? @Lauren Tyler , mainly just take it slow. There's no time limit (or bonus for completing levels quickly), so in the tricky to manouvre areas, you can take a long as you need as long as there isn't anything shooting into it. To put the slow speed in perspective, notching up that score took well over an hour. That aside, when you get to the dark zones, shoot constantly. When you hit anything, even if it's just the "rock / planet surface" everything lights up for an instant. That can help you find your way.

+jgkspsx Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I ended up frittering away much of the Super Breakout week on the arcade and 5200 versions and on the fantastic Breakout Recharged on Switch and NuVCS. Partly because I didn’t know how to use Stella right. So I am reaaaaally happy that I get a chance to improve my scores. I will never miss a chance to play Gravitar middlingly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies for having a hand in selecting Super Breakout then! If it's any consolation, Gravitar is a game I never, ever wanted to play again for as long as I live.

+jgkspsx Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Gravitar: 96300 My game ended where it usually does, in the level with all of the horizontal platforms in the dark. I always end up freaking out and overreacting. This spaceship has just seconds to live: That said, I was remembering how to play the non-Gravitar mode for most of the first half of the game, so if I could have knocked off this one last turret (and I got so close) I might have made it for another loop. I also never took out a base. I was able to reliably knock off the first one at least, though the time limit gets stringent on the second and way beyond my skill level on the third, and I don't bother even looking after that. Two things are critical to pretty much sailing through the non-dark levels: 1. NEVER risk your life to get fuel. In no-gravity mode it is impossible to run out of fuel. Get only the very easiest ones and only do it if you feel like it. It's not good for points and you will never need it. 2. Your shield is super important when there's a turret going crazy. Pulse it on and off so you don't blow up. EDIT: oh, and you do not have to blow up the base. It’s worth a lot of points if you do, though. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I'm aiming to play these a lot this round; there's a lot on the line, haha. I really like Super Breakout, but I'm with @nads on not wanting to play Gravitar. First goal, figure out how to play, hahaha. It's awesome to have made it to the Major Leagues; but the competition here...I feel like a freshman in a gym class full of seniors ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
