Alright, I'm not sure if everyone knew this or not but here are 2 observations to help increase your score... 1. The bonus items in the maze are critical to get. Each item increases in value. I was able to score over 30k in the first round. As long as you don't die when the next round starts you start with the next item. I think the highest value item I got was 3k. 2. I already mentioned this previously but the cats eventually get much faster than you and it's all you can do to get to the next bone. Unless something changes in even later rounds you need to get as many points in the first few rounds as you can. Good Luck! |

At the least, getting the first four of them means getting the 10k bonus, which becomes pretty easy, and that's where maybe half my points are. --- Quote ---2.

Actually, thinking about it, it's probably wise not to use bones if possible in the first few boards, as the points aren't that much, and it's not a necessary thing like in Pac. I wonder how many bones it will store. I know I've had up to six. Anyways, where is everyone? |

I think even if that gets you thru 2 more boards on the back end you aren't going to get many points. I've been trying to maximize points in the first 2-3 rounds. I've had as high as 90k in the first round. I just can't seem to get lucky enough to duplicate that in the 2nd round. |

Sorry, don't mean to run the score up but not sure if I'm going to have time tomorrow. I finally got a couple of good games and 1 excellent one. On the last one I was able to make it almost thru 3 boards on the first guy. I maximized the bonus items, when I finally died I was at 7k per bonus item. I think I was at 75k after 1 and about 150k when I first mouse expired. 435,690 |
