Nice Job doteater!

Curious to know. I only made it to dungeon 2 when I got my ~ 62K. Do you start to get more points
for later dungeons. I am very greedy and try to enter every room and pick up every treasure. I pay
dearly for it sometimes.

PS. Boy do I hate when I die and the bullet has not even touched me yet.  ???

doteater:
I've tried a couple different ways, how I got my hi-score was by getting all the loot and fully exploring the first level. Keep going that route and try to survive after that. Usually I let the thief do his thing, chase him down and steal His loot then head to the exit.

What I've noticed so far is only the deathsquares won't follow to another screen. The pikes are slow and will eventually come into the next screen but I don't worry about them. I find the most dangerous are the enforcers. If you exit a screen without killing them they will automatically be on the next screen moving towards you. I always kill them before exiting. The executioners will chase but you can always backpaddle and shoot as they will line up single file.

I also kill all the corner zappers before I exit a screen. If you kill 1 2 or 3/4 they will reappear if you go back. Kill them all and they won't respawn. slow and steady one screen at a time. Backtrack to only "cleared" screens, it's safer that way.

Nicely done doteater,  Thas gonna be a tuff one to beat.  .
last nite I scored 67xxx... Ironically I had switched my strategy to almost exactly how you put it..clearing the first level with all gems will average out to 40-45k before level 2....now if I could only pull that off without dying before the warp heh....
Plenty of time left tho..ill post my current high afta work.

Finally stopped trying to clear the first level completely (never once succeeded). Doing much better now.

Wow, Space Dungeon claims another hour of my life. I'm getting better, but only marginally. This session's best score was 39,540. But, in a previous session, I his 41,985.

This eve, I did manage to hit all 36 rooms twice...and died on that last room...way up in the top corner...far away from the exit...

The second time that I achieved this, I even had all the treasures in my possession.

What a tease!

I'm employing some of the tips in this thread & running less and calming down a bit. I'd already discovered that you can permanently remove the corner zappers by shooting all 4. Great idea. Get up against the wall, shoot 2, go in the corner, shoot the 3rd, then shoot the 4th diagonally. Really quick!

As for that pesky Executioner, it appears that, if you leave him on-screen when you go through a door, he will appear in that next room at the exact same (x,y) coordinates where you left him. This is good if he's right next to you. This is bad if he was far away from you, because now he'll be right up in your grill.


Love/hate it!
