High Score Competition #122 Halley's Comet
jasonbar:
Dude, believe it or not (probably not), when I glanced at your post, I read 1.8M, not 1.4M for your score. I was going to post & say "Thanks for posting such a high score--that deters me from staying up just a little too late tonight to play just 1 more game." But then I figured I'd like to shoot for 2nd. My good scores on this game came only from playing the 1st game of a session & while sitting on a stool instead of standing. Weird, I know.
So, I promised that I'd play just 1 game. I died 20 seconds in, aborted that game, then played just 1 more. It was the first time I saved Venus, then I saved Mercury (no difficulty increase perceived), then I choked right before the Sun's comet & lost all my remaining ships there.
Part of me was slightly relieved that I didn't pull a sleazy swoop by beating you.
I posted, stating that I'd like to claim the silver medal. Then, I looked at the thread & saw that I'd misread your post, so I edited mine.
Sorry. Really.
SHMUPs are my passion. I'll pick a non-SHMUP. Hopefully, it goes over well! :]

C'mon Jason, why wouldn't I believe it? I'm hoping that I layed my "hates" thick enough to not be taken seriously.
Was I a little disappointed, sure. I went to sleep around 1:10am and checked on my tablet if anyone chimed in. At least I had good night sleep, not knowing what happened at 1:23am! ;)

That's EXACTLY how my best score happened! For some reason it was much easier playing sitting having monitor slightly above than standing in this game! And only my greed cost me the game. I was on a roll, and then didn't want to let some ship slip by, raced to the right and instead of shooting it I managed to Kamikaze it, and of course afterwards whole game fell apart!
Anyway there is always #123!

2 more "hates" would have cleared that right up! :]
On my previous best game, I got the super "G" power up twice. Those extra side ships seem pretty useless as far as firepower goes, but they do OK as shields from side attacks. I found that you can protect them & keep them longer by staying at the bottom of the screen, scooching them off the bottom of the screen where they can't get hit.
My super winning score was on a game with no "G" power ups. I just managed to beat the stupid green on green on green boss & then things didn't get harder for quite a while.
I've historically stunk at the jumpy games, so I'm expecting to get pwned on Cyber-Lip! :]
Thanks,
-Jason
