High Score Competition # 59: Buster Bros.
jasonbar:
I used the same approach that I used on Raiden. Brute force, lots of swearing, occasionally pounding the control panel. I'm starting to learn where the goodies are hidden, how to get some more extra guys, & how to maximize the points earned from shooting bubbles. Why is it that my right pinky hurts after playing an intense set of games? I mean, I'm using my index finger, not my pinky! :'(
Anyway, it's on! It took a lot of effort to get this far--we'll see how long this score holds...
1,384,950.

I haven't played this game before, so what is the second button used for?

I hate you guys. I played last night and the best I could produce was 180,000. More attempts are futile as even a killer score for me won't be 1/2 of your scores.
Have any of you posted some of these scores to twin galaxies? Not just for this game, but any of the high score competitions.

CrazyKongFan and I have submitted scores to Twin Galaxies. We have competed since almost the beginning (Aug 2008) of this BYOAC competition and the rules have evolved since then. But this new rule - "If you are a Twin Galaxies competitor, there is already a place for you, so let this be a friendly competition among us mortals." didn't show up until Competition #50 Donkey Kong in Aug 2010. Two years after we've started.
I don't remember any talk of banning Twin Galaxies competitiors. Whenever CrazyKongFan or I have had a competition where we had the TG record (Funny Mouse, Klax, Rampart etc.) we disqualified ourselves and just wanted to see how other people would score. We even gave lots of tips to help others learn and enjoy the game.
I think just because we have a record at some games doesn't make us good at all games. I've enjoyed competing in these competitions and learning new games. If I ever win another competition, I might take out that TG rule because it seems it was only one member's decision to change the rules and there wasn't any discussion about it. But then again, the way Jasonbar has been dominating lately :cheers:, I don't know if I'll ever get a chance. :)

Nope, I have not. I played the hell outta this game in college back in the day. I used to be able to 1CC it most of the time....but that's been a long long time ago......as in around 1990-1992? Considering how I played last night I won't get close to doing that again for a long time. :) After reading your post I looked on TG.....um, crap, I never thought I'd be competition for those guys.
Only tips I can think of right at the moment is get the food as those add up quick later on (shooting the food before it hits the ground works too). Break most of the breakable blocks looking for powerups and extra guys. There are *invisible* breakable blocks as well that can hold nice stuff too but I can't remember where any of those are. :(
