Title: How Far Have you gotten in INSANITY?
Post by: Windancer on 11/24/2009, 02:22 AM
I popped in at Roys tonight and we played insanity for a good hour or hour and a half. and we made it to the Greenish Blue Bots. this is how the levels have changed for us.

Orange Bots- level 1
Blue Bots- Level 2
green bots- level 3
Orange Red Bots- level 4
Purple Bots- Level 5
Greenish Blue Bots- level 6

If anyone has got farther let us know it was getting very tough where we were.

Greenish blue ones were pretty rough.  I wonder how many more there are?  ](*,)

I believe that is as far as I've gotten too. lol. It gets pretty challenging. The latter level robots are smarter and often capitalize on shooting lazers diagonally through block formations; bastards! I can't wait to see the alleged boss; if I can ever reach it that is...

The part that killed me the most was when you pop into a new room and the greenish blue ones shoot the second the screen pops up.  Theres NOTHING you can do but die, you don't even have a chance.   ](*,)

There's nothing to doubt; it most certainly does exist.  The bots leading up to the boss are much harder though, since you don't have to make a mad dash for an exit to avoid Otto.

You do have a chance, albeit a rather slim one.  Always be firing when you enter a new room, and if you're lucky, you'll take out his shot or at least clear out some room to run.

An excellent strat indeed!  Until you get to a room with Bots firing on your from 2-3 different directions.  Then sir, there is no safe place other than the pile of bones you're soon to be.  :lol: :lol:

Ya gotta shoot and run towards one of the bots.  If you're lucky, you'll whack one and evade the others; if you're not lucky, you'll run straight into a wall.  :lol:

I made it to the pesky teal guys again last night with 5 guys left and thought, "I have you now!" well before I knew it my game was over. I did break the 20,000 plateau on score though although I dont know my final score cause it goes away immediately after death. I think I was around 21,400 so if anyone starts a high score thread be sure to pause often and take your pic cause you dont get time to when the game ends

A bit of a cheat but you can always pause when you enter a room to get an idea where to run first to avoid shots.

not a bad strategy.   From the looks of it, "EmeraldRocker" of HonestGamers beat the game already... !

Is Tatsujin going to list Insanity on pcedaisakusen?

Probably in the oft-promised "update" which I estimate will happen in 2036.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if this game, or other homebrews such as Implode may cause the gear issue on the turbo cd/duo?  I actually have held off of buying this and the others because of the CD-R warnings, and I assume that these games will cause the same effect.

Does my point have any validity?  Or am I just making uneducated assumptions?

I thought that Insanity is being professionally pressed, not burned onto a CD-R.

The only official independent release that comes on CD-R is Meteor Blaster. All the normal warnings associated with CD-R use apply.

All other independent releases (Implode, Insanity, and the upcoming Mysterious Song) are professionally pressed CDs, no different from any other Turbo CD game.
