Back-stabber! Traitor! Sweet-tongued betrayer and heart-breaker!

Re: High score challenge - S2 Round 5 - Swoop
Well there was I feeling great about finally breaking the 2000 barrier, and getting what I thought was a competitive score at 2600...
However it looks like everyone else has improved even further over the last week

Nggh, you're certainly right there. Just can't get past this damn level! Oh well, I still squeezed a few more points out of it.richardtoohey wrote:And yes, the speedy final bird on the two-bird levels are a real life-losing PITA!

Re: High score challenge - S2 Round 5 - Swoop
Finally got past that level! This game is starting to grow on me...
5,780 Whoops, no, scrub that, that's David Elliot's score
5,640
Now beaten that, another 40 points!

I'll settle for 13th instead!trevj wrote:I will not be 10th, I will not be 10th, I will NOT be 10th ...
Upped it to 1800 and phase 4, and I think that'll do for me!

Great score!ivor_the_injun wrote:So I've been on a mission today.
I reckon he could maybe still beat you, if still playing this!Stick this up your hoop, Elliot.
Re: High score challenge - S2 Round 5 - Swoop
Well folks,
Just could not get past the 4000 mark at all....hate modern keyboards after the Beeb one.....it has such a good tactile feel to it....after 30 years no less.
I think Swoop has now been swept out the door.....what a beast of a game....but I sort of started to like it in a twisted sort of way.....

After the level skipping practice of Moon Raider, I found this hard to persist with. Sorry for the late come-back... although I expect that Syd may be pleased with the resulting effect!M_Ron wrote:It... just... doesn't... get... any... easier!
Re: High score challenge - S2 Round 5 - Swoop
You are correctomundo on that one Richard....after getting through a few screens I observed the following:richardtoohey wrote:Don't think so - I heard the extra life sound, looked up, and I was on 990.
Green - Single birds, few bombs
Blue - Double birds, relatively few bombs
Extra Life Here
Pink - Single birds, more bombs
Light Blue - Double birds, more bombs
Extra Life Here
Yellow - Single birds, even more bombs
Blue - Double birds, even more bombs
Extra Life Here
Pink - Single, fast bombs and lots of them
That's as far as I got when I was actually checking....I only got past the second set of Pink birds once when I got 4000 and I was too busy to be checking anything.....I seem to remember the light blue double birds came after the pink birds....but I didn't pick up an extra life because.....I bombed out!

Re: High score challenge - S2 Round 5 - Swoop

Re: High score challenge - S2 Round 5 - Swoop
Managed to break 10000 this time!! Best go ever!
Re: High score challenge - S2 Round 5 - Swoop
Sadly this hsc is from about 10 years ago (we've been at this for that long )
