2012 Highscore Challenge-Round 4-Closed

if you have no motivation to learn the game(s) and commit to the high score "challenge"..why bother with any of them?

 

i spent many evenings and hundreds of credits on the last game (kyokyu tiger) trying to get a decent score despite it was a futile attempt due to the monster highscore.. in the end i did master the 1st level, but time ran out for the score submission preventing further progress..and i pulled my own hair out with the other two games too and finally submitting a low% score....

 

the spirit of the highscore challenge is about pushing yourself into and learning/discovering new games you would not otherwise play, sure, every game will likely have a top scorer- all part of the "challenge" its the taking part that matters. 

 

if you cannot 1cc this particular game to score well, you can still score millions of points.. the mame highscore on this game is 26million, at least 24million of that score of acheived before the 1 credit completion/before even going to see the last boss.

 

final word..

 

if you cannot get anywhere near the top scores, find your competition in trying to beat the guy in front of you..  you never know- come the last game in the challenge.. you may count on that 1 or 2 % that you couldn't be bothered to even try..

 

game on!

 

 

 

a straight game with no point pressing (no looping level12 to boost my score like those endurance testers on twin galaxies with the 24million+ socres)..

 

this is how i did it..

 

having punished the game before with legend upgrades (expensive and gold = points), the only way to better my score was to-- not spend so much..

 

 

80 boots 

40 shield

380 boots

150 armour

 

that was my total spend on equiptment. no legend armour.. thats over half a million points (over 540gold) saved on armour alone. only other things i bought was whirlwind magics and had three health stops.

killing a couple of the bosses twice gave full health, few dropped red hearts by enemies for more full health.. the odd stop a bar when i was desperate.. avoided some enemies when i had low energy. picked up a shield upgrade from an enemy, (had to avoid a dropped heavy armour- ice skates, would have ruined the game). finally, i had a great stock of whirlwinds when i got to the pyramid, almost every hidden coin/bag of gold gave 68points. i must have lifted near 1000 gold from the pyramid!

 

i think its time for me to start playing this game on the dips on hard..

 

 

 

 

 

 

that is a top score.. you must have had about 2300 gold at the end(?).. well done..! give it a try without buying legend armounr.. tip: if you buy the 60 armour, an enemy will probably drop a 150 armour. potential saving of around 700 coins.. that would get you up to 3.8million for a start.

 

playing without legend armour is no big deal ive found.. projectiles take a full heart, bumps and scrapes with enemies take a quarter to half a heart.. no huge difference!
