High Score Competition #143: Armored Car (Stern)

<< < (8/12) > >>

So close yet so far...

45,520

As far as my strategy: Get as many points in the first round as you can.   I have had as much as 12k.   2nd round, be a little more safe with game play.  3rd round, survive.  After that survive but use the TNT buses to your advantage.

I hate this game.

At least it's not another vertical shooter Jim, so no one needs to get kicked in the nads.

I've been playing this all week, and am getting better (got to bank 7).  One of my new favorites - frustrating at times but it plays fast so multiple games in a row aren't dull.

* I find myself speeding about 80% of the time, and slowing down only to bait and kill the robbers. 
* Running out of gas is basically a death sentence, unless you are really close to one of the 2 gas stations. 
* Don't waste time travelling far north and south as it burns up the gas and doesn't get you closer to the next gas station. 
* Drop a sawhorse on the arrows if you get stuck and panic.
* Forget the key/lock unless it's in your general vector.
* Try to get 2 robbers to hit one sawhorse whenever possible.  Good points and also gives you a few seconds of peace.
* You can let go of the joystick and just stop moving at intersections - handy in many cases to wait for the enemies movement path.

Tried less greed, more speeding. Finally got to fourth bank (and extra life). 29,870.
