Title: Paging Arkhan! Insanity question...
Post by: Gogan on December 14, 2012, 05:18:22 AM
Dumb question thats been bugging me...I notice when you clear a level on Insanity, usually full bonus points are awarded (eg 200, 300) but sometimes the bonus is less. (180 when I should be 200). Is there something I can do to prevent that?

uhhh
You get 10 points per robot * Level you are on. so level 2 = 20 points per robot.
Sometimes not all of the robots can fit on the screen so you only ever fight say 9. So, 9*20 = 180.
Though, it's also possible theres a bug and you're leaving the room before the game registers that you killed the robot, maybe!

Makes sense. Never bothered to count the enemies. Didn't think the bonus was multiple of enemies killed, jus dependent on what level you're on. I'm goin for that high score baby!

Been enjoying this game myself Ark. My only gripe is that your score isn't shown on the game over screen :( Going by memory, I'm pretty sure my high score was um, 6 billion.

Dude, no way. I look at it as an added challenge, ykno, after an intense game you have to be sure you don't forget to pause. Bonus in my eyes :)
lol.
Im surprised people are still f*cking playing the game, to be honest. :)

I love the golden age stuff, so it's been in heavy rotation here. Might actually be picking up another copy soon, as mine has OMG RAER EDITION scribbled allover the cover. While I love raers, a clean copy would be cool too 8)
You really did do a pretty good job on this, cept them damn teal bots. f*ck them.

You have to abuse the temporary invulnerability to dart to a safe corner.
