Thank you. I am not really very interested in computer games, but I liked that one. Instead of reacting speedily, I could think about it. I got stuck on level 8 though, as it seems to require a much greater accuracy. I can govern the direction, and the power, but what if anything controls the speed of the ammunition?

Admin is probably too busy to worry about minor questions, does anyone else know?

Hmm ... well - and I only had a quick play on it yesterday - you click in the firing area to set your mark, then move you mouse up and down to set direction, and then left and right to set the power - which dictates the speed of the ammo.

The weight of the ammo makes a difference though - I don't know if you spotted but on the right side you can pick smallest -5 point, through to largest -30 points - giving you a reasonable selection to pick from and offering various amounts of damage when used at full speed.

Is level 8 the one with the ice platforms? That took me ages to do last night - kept getting 80 and 90+ scores, but then finally cracked the 100. I used the smaller balls at medium speed, pointed at the very bottom where the pile meets the platform - to shove the bottom of it over to the right, causing the rest to topple to the left.

Hope that helps ...

Cheers,
Shaun

He must be bored.

Level 8 is the one where you are shooting from right to left. On the left there is a very tall pile of red and green bricks in alternate layers, with brown sort of shelves in between. Using the very smallest one I tried to aim at the rows of the one you are supposed to hit, and avoid the red ones. The degree of accuracy needed is very high.

On the ice blocks one, yes I did what you did, but without too much power so that they slid and then fell before crossing the gap and hitting the pile of red bricks.

I have tried watching the "walk-through", but it goes so fast that I cannot follow it.

As I did not Log in, does that mean that if I go back to that site I have to start from the beginning again?

I am sorry to pose all these questions, when you have trillions of other things to be doing.

Looks like you re hooked Speich.

 

[Speicher]

You might be right Lukesdad. At least it requires some skill, and calculating angles, and power/speed ratios etc.

Sometimes I have even met the criteria of The Challenge.

Dont know why, as i'm usually rubbish at this sort of thing, but level 8 I got first time. All the other levels required several attempts.

Now Level 11 on the other hand ....

I'm going to have to point my 9 y.o. at this (when he's finished his homework)

 

[Simba]

I got to level 11 before it started to get silly.

 

[beanzontoast]

Oooohhh - what a terribly destructive game...















I like it!

Got to level 20 before deciding i'd spent too much time on it!
