Daily Dare [Split 1]

[Jerch]

Today's Daily Dare is Ugga Smash
AAA's score is 500, Abigail's 75.
AAA's prize Prize is Tyrannian Racing Goggles (wearable)

This one was easy peasy, got 535 on my first try

EDIT: I played this some more and here's a tip:
You get 5 points every time you hit a car (hit = green +) so for a good score you should always be right there in the middle of the battle. Yes, your health will suffer, but I find it almost impossible to get over 500 if I "plan" too much and try to play tactics. It's better to just rush straight into the tumult. This way you get lots of hits even if you didn't plan them.
If you health runs really low, try to get the Bone bonus, it restores some of your health.
The Shield bonus is quite useful too, as you become scot-free for a short period of time.

Yeah... and the only real tactic you need in this game is to avoid the garral at all costs

This one may take a little work. But, it was also the first one I started practicing, and I went from a 300 to a 455 in about 3 tries yesterday, so hopefully I'll be able to pull off 500.

I've noticed you tend to take less damage if you go for hitting the sides of the opponents cars, or the backsides. If you have run low on health, do NOT take them head on.

And yeah. Watch out for those stupid grarrls. I had 3 in a row last night - took out every car but mine, and caused me to lose a lot of chances at points because of it.

However I do believe it is possible to beat AAA without the glitch, so I will keep trying.

It is. When I typed in the cheat, I only *ever* got 15 seconds, and that was on release day. Wish I could've seen one of those awesome high bonuses, but, ah well.

STUPID GRARRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep getting 450+ and then I get eaten. Previous high score of 225 so at least I'm improving

Edit: 495

[Phlameseeker]

515 Thats 8 AAA to 2 Abigail, still trying to get DOMII done.

[Gumdrops]

I don't like Ugga Smash. I suppose if I really tried, I could've gotten the AAA score, but I didn't feel like playing for that long, so I just went for Abigail.

I'm now 6 Abigail and 5 AAA.

[Chakra_]

Yes! After like 8 tries i finally got a decent score of 575. Qualified for the goggles. Whoo!

[Byakuya San]

I kept getting up to 470, but then a Grarrl would come out of nowhere and gobble me up.

Well, I finally got the score! That's 8 wins for AAA and 3 for Abigail.

[Phlameseeker]

Argh, getting physically sick of looking at the destruct-o-match screen rofl. Was doing pretty well, went away, forgot i had left it open, n clicked the "click to play" button on the game page >.< Think i'll just go with abigail, get it done.

[Siniri]

I'm sick of the daily dare. I've gotten AAA's score on all but Kiko Match and Itchy Invasion -- I've gotten to ~850 (up from 550) in II, but I'm only at 497 in KM -- and I never got the 200+ glitch/bonus.

I'm miffed they changed the game in the middle of the challenge. They can't take away the prize from those who got it because of the "glitch" (because many might have kept playing that day until they earned it), but those of us who didn't get it deserve the same odds as those who already have it, so it's not really fair to change the game in the middle.

Today I got up to level 14 with about 1/4 of the cards left when time ran out (I had to use the code in level 13). I've been playing that game for at least an hour a day since it was released... Anyone got any hints on how I can beat it? I already turn the automation off. I've tried writing down symbols, but I'm too slow -- I suppose I could get faster with practice.

Well, my KMII high score is 625 (without the cheat), and I'm not sure entirely where I could have shaved time off, so take my advice with a grain of salt...

But I try to work from one corner, in one direction - I look for a direction that has about 4 same-background tiles. Like, plaid, white, yellow, green, all on a red background. Then I go through the rest of the board looking only for those four (sometimes five) tiles. I eliminate them as I find them.

Occasionally I'll flash upon a couple of tiles that are identical around the same time, so I'll get rid of them and then go back to what I was doing.

But, like I said, I have no idea where I could lose those last 75 seconds. If you assume that I couldn't possibly get a higher score on the first 5 levels, that leaves 6-14 where you can find extra time. That's 9 levels...and I have to find 75 seconds, or an average of 8 seconds PER LEVEL, that I'm losing as I play for one reason or another. If I use the code, then it's only 60 seconds, but still...that's 7 seconds per level. And I'm not entirely sure that it's possible, for me anyway, to locate that time that I'm losing.

I requested this on another thread, but I'm going to ask again: does anyone have a level-by-level score recommendation that is based on their beating the game fair-and-square? As in, level 10, you should have 450 points, or whatever? Because I think that that sort of targeting would be very helpful to those of us still struggling with this game.

(As an aside, I am six steps beyond furious that TNT fixed the code glitch in the middle of the challenge)

[metalmario]

Yay 530 finally 7/4 so far for Megasuperb. Still trying for Volcano Run... scared to even try for DoMII and KMII.

[Pickles]

Woo! 555 on my first try when I got home. Over 1/3 of the way done, still in the running for Ultimate...and one less game to worry about needing to practice.

I have looked all over, Shapu, and I can't find one anywhere - or for that matter, nearly anything in the way of a guide. Unfortunately, didn't write down my scores at different levels, but if you really want me to, I'll go back and see if I can do it again, as I beat it with only 15 seconds of extra time. (But only if your really want me to).

I was keeping track of mine on IDB's IRC channel, but sadly there's no record of that.

On another note, I got my score back from TNT with an amazing bonus (higher than probably any of you have seen) and they considered it legitimate. For anyone wondering, I WOULD have beaten it anyway without the bonus.

Abigail's prize is Collectable Tyrannian Car Set

Is it just me, or does that look like an extremely fun violent gun?

Nah, that's alright. I don't want anyone to put themselves out over it.
