I'm trying that exact same tactic, so I get at least 1 bridge piece. I can (almost) never pull it off--on my trip to the right, I'm in the midst of a pile of flame bombs when my shield runs out. Grrrr... -Jason |

Erk "I have tested this a lot" should read "I haven't tested this a lot" ::) |

i'm topping out around where you guys are. about 65K |

I've always waited until at least that heart-shaped formation they do, shoot as much as possible, then cross the bridge before they sack it. That's about board eleven I think, or maybe fourteen. So I end up at about forty thou or so. I've tried crossing the bridge earlier once or twice, but the added firepower doesn't seem necessary so early on. I'll try that now again..... Mmm, not so good. I think one of the point-makers is to wait as long as possible before your first crossing. Then further crossings have all that much more to add. This time round, I crossed three times, the first being at the beginning of the fourth board, arguably the first hard one. I crossed again at the 8th, had a stupid death on the 11th, crossed again at 14, and died somewheres in there a couple more times, and having a TRULY stupid one on the 18th, ending the game at 55840. It's worth trying again, though.... |

Okay, did another run, this time crossing the bridge at the beginning of the second board. Again, had some silly deaths - I didn't know you could fire with shield on! - but didn't do badly ending at 97550. My run was as follows: - crossings at boards: 2, 8 (around 20k?), 14 (45k), 23 (67k) - deaths at boards: 20, 24 (!), 26, and 27 (I was down to single fire, and the devil blasted me - but I took 'em with me!) Other stats: bridges are 6, 9, 12, and 14 pieces long. Also, I was correct in that it starts to get bright at 19, eventually getting a light crimson or magenta even. |
