Go this a few days ago, but nothing better since.

 

The demo screen shows Mr Do. getting a diamond, haven't seen a diamond yet, maybe I need to spell out the word Extra first? :unsure Haven't got more than 2 letters in a game yet though :lol

 

Anyone looking for podium on TG?

EXTRA will give you an extra man, should be able to get one by round 3 or 4 quite easily.

 

The diamond is a free game and will end that screen, better to hang around and gather the points on the screen.

 

Hint: a letter will come out every 5000 points reached;)

You also get 8000 pts for the diamond but I agree -doesn't seem worth picking up if there's still stuff you can get more points from on the level. Grouping the enemies and squishing them together seems to give some decent points. Gets really difficult to keep getting the EXTRA letters as the game gets harder but it's not too dificult to get 2 letters on each of the first levels. When you spell extra it plays the theme song to Astro Boy for some strange reason. :blink: Random. Edited by ED_209

I had a quick game last night and on both the 1st and second patterns I squashed the lot of them with one rock!

 

Didn't mean to do it but it was funny after the second time :D

I've completely forgotten how to play this game, remembered my level 1 pattern after a while but that's it. After many more games I came to the realisation that the only thing I had forgotten was that I never could play this game, and still can't <_<

If someone has missed the entire tournament are they still eligible to submit a score for this one? It's an excuse to play one of my favourite games from back in the day - and justify the annoying theme music to the wife ;) For me the key is to try and get 2 letters on every level, especially early on. You really need those extra Dos on the later levels to get a good score. And DKong has given the key tip - a letter comes out every 5000 points so make sure if your score is about to hit a 5000 point level that the letter selected is not one you already have - it's worth hesitating for a short instant to do so. Same thing when you grab the middle (bonus) food - you want to wait (if you can) until a letter you need is highlighted (notice the letter selector dude moves much quicker past letters you've already got). Always try to get the middle food when you only have a couple of red baddies remaining because once you defeat the letter dude they really speed up and get nasty. Enjoy, the game is really addictive once you get into it :)

Finally worked out that you can stand beside an apple and wait for more penguins (or whatever they are) and then push it on top of them all at once :lol Still hasn't improved my score though, stuck on 66K :(

 

Bloody enemies run too fast and stupid clown runs too slow :realmad:

It's those big floppy shoes ;)

 

That's what I was thinking :lol But the stupid twit learnt to run fast in Mr. Do's Wild Ride.... he doesn't run from penguins, but put a roller coaster car in front of him and that puts a rocket up his arse
