Todd H:
I managed around 17000 yesterday after a few plays. Tough game.

17,910 so far.  Boy, those basic purple tanks on the 1st few levels are nothing compared to the nasties that show up later!  :hissy:

1 - Use your shield A LOT.  Just hold it down for the first several seconds of each level while you drive around & pick off all the easy tanks.  Then retreat & wait for your shield to recharge.

Although, if it goes too low, you're hosed, and they hunt you down and you die.


--- Quote ---2 - No time limit on the rounds & no bonus for remaining shield power, so use the shield liberally.  The only thing that might encourage you to hurry up is that the orange tanks go into hyperactive mode & shoot nonstop & cruise around if you stall too long.

Or if it's the last one.



--- Quote ---5 - The big points come from killing combos of tanks with their own explosions, Missile Command style.  Though I must admit that I never intentionally let tanks live long enough to start clumping up...

But you could do one side on some screens and then go up and around or something. Worth looking into.
Ummon:
Best I got so far.

   Good ROM pick with Grobda. It's kinda like Atari 2600 Combat on crack. Here's my current high till I'm bumped.   ;D
