Just scored 53K on my first life, thought I was a chance at Rob's score and then all dead by 65K :cry

Often happens doesn't it - in your mind you're icing up the champagne and end up drinking lite beer :lol

That's why it reminds me of Turtles, you can have such a great game going on the first man and then BAM it's all over 2 mins later :lol

Reminds me a lot of Oils Well on the old Atari 800XL, just a lot harder.

Crap, I just realised now that there's a button for this game that retracts the tongue! Much easier now...

Well, that might make it a bit easier! but I'm impressed you can get 26k with no tongue retraction.

Ha ha .....that's hilarious!! ...I didn't realise the same thing until about 30 times after I first played the game a few years ago!

nice scores guys!

Seems like the stupid tongue gets stuck some times and won't go any further and you have to retract it - often at the worst possible time :(

Is this a bug? I'm sure I've had the tongue longer that when it's been stuck sometimes so I don't think it's a limit to the size of it :unsure

Right down the bottom you seem to be able to only get the queen ants directly from above them - lools like you should be able to come from the side but can't?

Getting a bit better. Haven't been practicing much though. Hope to get in many more games before Sunday.

So close to taking top spot....D'oh!

Shhhhh... no one tell Rob, not sure if I can do any better than this :lol

Actually seeing how quickly some have got scores over 70K with not nearly as much practice as me, I don't think 100K is gonna cut it on this game.

Just started a game, died and decided to kill off the rest of the lives. Went through a worm the wrong way and didn't die and got the 200 pts. I was sure I did this in other games occasionally but wasn't positive since it happened so fast. Anyone else managed this? Might be a similar sprite detection issue that is also possible in games like Pac-Man where you can run right through a ghost :)

As for my other comment about the worm getting stuck and having to go back, I'm playing on keyboard so it's not a control issue as far as I know :unsure I do realise you have to eat the queen ant from above.

Sorry John. :D

You're friggin' kidding me :rolleyes

Back for another game later today. No time during the day, day off yesterday for the show holiday so I'll be smashed with work all day :(

66,110 it's a bit quiet lads - everyone madly practising?

Dont mind this one, will have another crack at it tomorrow..

Another one I'd never heard of until MGL.

66,110 it's a bit quiet lads - everyone madly practising?

I'm still playing, but it's starting to frustrate me :lol

Here is my high score table - can pretty much knock off 60-70k at will but it's a real press to get to 100K :(

Trying to point press a bit on Anthill 1 & 2 to get the points up in case I get close to 100K and keep losing lives to stupid mistakes. Might be time for a bex & a good lie down and give this one more shot tomorrow morning :D
