TROTRODS

The scoring on this game is exponential. You'll either get a million points or billions, depending on how many asteroids you destroy. To get a lot of points, destroy every asteroid you see, then get as many multipliers as you can. It sucks if you get a huge multiplier built up, then lose a life and have to start all over. I can't wait for the World Challenge to start on this

Agreed. The trick is to collect the multipliers (the yellow things you get after destroying asteroids adn ships) and multiplier multipliers (the green points that you see whenever you kill an asteroid).

The green multiplier multiplies the yellow multiplier #s that you get. For example, if you have a green multiplier of 100, and you collect a yellow +25 multiplier, your yellow multiplier total will go up by 2500. Your yellow multiplier multiplies the points you get. When you kill a ship, you will see a blue number (like +20). That number is multiplied by your yellow multiplier and added to your score total. The max green multiplier is x999, and the max yellow multiplier is x9,999,999 i think (i might be wrong on that last max by a digit or two).

The trick is to collect all the green multipliers first, then concentrate on yellow multipliers, then concentrate on health/shields, then on killing the actual ships that fly at you.

The other trick is not to die, as both your multipliers get reset to 0. I find that usually around the 1st level I get 300+ green multiplier, and a score of around 100-200 mil. After the 2nd level, 500-600 green multiplier and anywhere from 1.5-3 billion. After the 3rd level, i think 600-700 green multiplier and anywhere from 5-10 billion. 4th level shoot for 750-900 green multiplier, and 15-30 billion scorewise.

One of the few games I'm relatively good at. The only problem is, I can't see my shield meter or how many lives I have left. Anyone else having this problem?

is it just me, or does it seem like they made the game harder?

The chomby fighters and those big ships in the 5th level seem to now need 2x the hits to kill. Also, the high scores are all messed up.
