Yep! Hard as hell too. The score ramps up quickly once you clear about 2000. _________________ Playin' the world, one game at a time... |

Nope! Even if it's been awhile. It seems I've got some strong competition for several of my scores since I've been gone! Awesome!
Well, alien attack is one of my favorites, so I figured I'd start with that one. After an hour or two playing on and off while I did laundry, I did manage to beat billytherobot's impressive score. In fact, I actually wrapped the score over, for a grand total of 10,640 points.
I'm glad to be able to confirm that the game does indeed roll over, as it's one of my favorites, and this means the sky is the limit on scoring. I have a pic of the final score, but nowhere to put it online to link to.
Suggestions anyone? I'd like to add pics to confirm these scores.
Oh, and nice to meet you Billy. It looks to be quite the challenge to keep up with you! _________________ Playin' the world, one game at a time... |

This version is completely different and much more enjoyable than CGL Earth Invaders.
Skill 2 really adds a lot to the replayability. Once you adjust to the faster pace and find the somewhat similar patterns... It's definitely fun to see how high your score can get.
Keeping the groove is key, one small slip up and you'll get wiped out in a heartbeat. Such a neat game.
On skill 2, I flipped it once and ended up with a total of:
17,800
Full game:

Awesome! All 4 of these games are a lot of good fun. It's very satisfying when you get a good run going.
I look forward to a little fun-hearted competition. I have some other games with high scores on the master list. Try to top those too
A few people are posting high scores, it'd be great to pick up the activity. |
