PixelJunk Sidescroller

Geez, I was avoiding those circles like the plague and wondering why my score erased after I died, despite having 2 guys remaining. Finally gave the controller to my boy and he accidentally hit one...."checkpoint"

*facepalm*

Noise, you startin' a hi-score thread? Or suppose we can just rely on the psn leaderboards too.

For what it's worth, I did the exact same thing my first time through.

same here.

up to you guys?

Since basically yr score ends after each stage, you'd think there would be a "lives left" bonus. Just finished 1-1 w/4 lives and nothing :/

I thought there was a bonus for not dying under the combo counter.

yeah I can get through 1-1 without losing a live no problem. Oh, and new high score for 1-1. Think I'm back at the top guys.

I'm losing my combo 1/2 way through, right at 116 each time, I don't see where i'm losing it. Then I pick it back up and finish the level, but every run is the same, 2.2mil. I need to figure out what's happening there?

I thought that once you hit that number your combo starts over and it is 200 points x each hit, instead of 100.

I'm not sure what you mean, but my 3M high score on 1-1 was with a 170 combo.

There isn't a start over, but rather "tougher" enemies later in the stage are worth 200x and 300x your multiplier.

@Flex, i'm not seeing a bonus for lives left, though I noticed my score immediately drops (by 10K it looked like) when I died. Have to keep an eye on it.

@Flex again. If I saw correctly from a brief glance at the leaderboards of 1-2, you have the #52 score in the world? Nice dude!

Stage 1-2 i'm liking more, I like the idea of having to take advantage of all the weapons. I cleared it w/a low score the first go through because I didn't quite realize this, especially the importance of maxing yr lazer to get the "buried" goodies.

This is a decent little game and i've already gotten my $5 worth in the hour I played last night.

when you die you lose all points you obtained since the checkpoint you are returned to. That way you can't checkpoint farm.
