(4/16/2014 - 4/22/2014) Game of the Week: Lords of Thunder

[csgx1]

2,597,000... that's what I would've had if I hadn't bought bombs for stupid zaggart....

csgx1: I applaud you and congratulate your fantastic score... but I will post again soon to make you wish you'd never heard of LoT!

* Nulltard laughs maniacally to conceal the fact that he is crying inside... might not have another killer LoT run left in him.

lol...thanks for the kind words, I think.  Your score motivated me to do better, so basically I'm returning the favor.  So keep it up. 

Unfortunately I don't want to be the bearer of bad news for you, but 300 crystals (cost of 3 bombs) doesn't equate to 300K points at the end.

Damn nice scores up in here....

Did another play-thought today and did fairly well.  One tip that 'geise' mentioned in the high score thread is to try and collect the power ups when your maxed out.  Each power up will give 500 point when maxed.  Also, I get the additional shield in the shop for later levels to stay maxed and to offset the unavoidable 1 or 2 hits.

Outstanding game that doesn't seem to get old after playing though it a number of times.  Maybe I'll try the harder levels.

Normal difficulty - Earth armor

Hell yeah! Nice score!  When things settle down and I have time, I need to do some high score runs.

Indeed! I think csgx1 is the king of shooters around here. I'm trying real hard to catch up, but every time I'm close, I fuck up and get beat down by little pissant enemies on the last level, then a mini boss finishes me off.  Was set to face zaggart with 11,000 crystals in tow just now when I got squashed 3/4 of the way through the dark tower level.  Grrr....

Thanks, but I'm not even close to being any sort of king around here.  I probably just have more time to play games than most people.  Besides, if I was a "king of shooters", I should be able to at least beat level 4 in Rayxanber II.  Not the case and I haven't come close. Let me just say, I've attempted level 4 more than 100 times, reached the boss once and failed miserably every time. 

I'm sure that thumb blister is impeding your performance.  Take a rest man and let your thumb heal up.  

Also, the crystal counter maxes out at 10k.

I can't seem to stop myself from playing this awesome game!  Tried it on hard and it's definitely more challenging with a lot more enemies and bullets.  Bosses shoot more projectiles.  Easier to rack up a higher score off of more enemies, but it's also a lot more hectic. 

I would have hit 2.5 mil if I didn't spend 200 crystals for some health.

Hard difficulty - Earth armor

I love it but im really not very good at it, I love shooters but just cant click with this one it continually smashed me to pieces but that in itself is still fun.
