look well wath give you the most point and you will find the secret.

So, you just keep waiting for the bonuses and collect them? Burgers and icecreams which give you points don't appear so often. From your scores I assume that you have them in each level at least twice! I think that staying longer in the level gives you less time points after you finish. What's more, further you are, the less time you have, so the time points are even lower and you can't stay in the level waiting for bonuses.

Edited:
I discovered that when you finish level collecting "Exit" bonus, time left is multiplied by 10 and added to your points score. When you finish the level in normal way it is multiplied by 50, so collecting Exit Bonus is futile. But, when you finish level after freezing six enemies you get time left multiplied by 500 and when collecting four bears by 100.

The method with freezing is working and gives you hell of the points! I suppose this is the way turrican3 is getting such scores!

Well spotted... looks like I might give this another go after all

farmarfred · 18 November 2007, 14:10

Now that's dedication - constantly playing a game even though you don't like it

This game is a pure crap! Authors did not think of any way of skipping the level when you got stuck. In level 59 you got only the arrow platforms which disappear after walking them. I got 59 lives there. I fell down into the abyss and after "ressurection" I have nowhere to go! 12 lives which I had in the strore went down the drain!

I think in such situations there should be some way of skipping the level. It could cost you a life or two or some amount of points which could be deducted from your score.

Biscuit · 18 November 2007, 16:46

Considering the size and what happened to you and me, this game could really do with level codes for normal play. Your idea is good too - I'd happily have spent half my lives to continue playing.

Graham Humphrey · 18 November 2007, 17:58

Yeah that is a good idea. It does smack of slightly amateurish design.

I had another go and here is my last entry into this round. I am not going to play this game anymore

Leave it!!!

I did manage to play it long enough earlier to obtain a score above 30k but that still leaves me in last place

Graham Humphrey · 22 November 2007, 11:44

Not long to go now.... anyone else?
