Hi Score Competition #24: Defender

<< < (4/12) > >>

TOK:
Thanks for reposting that. Even when that thread was new, there were active users capable of rolling the game. I didn't want to post an old score and don't have near enough time to just sit and play the game over and over.

I've noticed the trend in all the high score threads that my scores are usually right up there in the first few days, but totally blown away by the end. Being that there are a few members here with actual Defender machines, I don't expect this one to be any different.  ;)

DrFrag:
No matter what game your play, there's always someone better than yourself.  How many of use have thought ourselves to be supreme masters of a game, only to download an INP from MARP and be so discouraged at how far we are from being the best?

The most satisfying way to play is against your own personal best.  Or if you're lucky, against someone with equal skill, determination, and time to commit to competition.  :)

Todd H:
I've played a few times and have yet to finish the first wave. God do I suck at this game!  :lol

geocab:
Well, only managed about 9,000 so far.   Those little red guys in the second wave always get me.

Is Hyperspace supposed to kill you every time you use it?  Is there a trick to using it successfully?

I rarely use it for exactly the reason you cited.

If you use hyperspace on a level crowded with enemies, you have a pretty large chance of dying by warping back in on top of something. When the level is nearly empty, you can often hyperspace multiple times in a row with no problem. Of course, you don't usually need it on an empty level.

Use your Smart Bombs on crowded levels, Hyperspace when there are just a few mutants or something that you need to distance yourself from.
