Share your strategies/hints for games here.
- In Tetris, there is a max level where you fail automatically (blocks drop down automatically). Therefore you should maximize the number of tetris you get (4 lines clear at same time) to get more points.
- In 4 second fury/frenzy, sacrifice life on games with fast failure such as "do not touch" to shave off valuable seconds. -

here are some tips related to the arcade itself:
- In the settings, you can set the option that you get PM'd automatically everytime one of your records get broken, so that you're aware of it faster.
- You can switch between row and column listing. Column listing is more compact. You can also set the number of games listed. I set it to 25 games per page so that I don't have to scroll as much.
- Use the "in new window" feature and zoom using your browser to get a fullscreen view of games (doesn't always work).
- Aside from the Hall of Fame, there is also a league going on. You gain points for the following ranking ON EACH GAME:
1st: 10pts
2nd: 9
3rd: 8
etc...
10th: 1
so the more games you play, the more points you gain and you don't necessarily need top scores to gain a lot of points.
You can send challenges to other players. Challengers are "one-try" attempt and test your skills as they are right now, not over many tries. -

The bottle shooting game:
Every now and then the owl (left side) will put out a target. If you shoot the target in the center you get 100 points. more times you get in a row more you get.
(eg. 1st time: 100/100 2nd time: 200/200 3rd: 300/300....etc)
Also getting a combo (consecutive) hits of bottles increases the amoung of points you get for each bottle, until you loose the combo.
some obvious ones:
Fish: Avoid hitting this, causes a cat to cover your screen for a couple of seconds. (not sure if you loose/gain any points for hitting)
Alarm clock: pauses time for about 3 seconds.
bottles: ...just hit 'em. point of the game. -

in bubble trouble, always go to one side. if you break/burst one bubble then always burst bubbles right or left of it (you choose), and not just for that bubble, but for the rest of that level. that way you will get in right or left corner, and bubbles will be coming to from left or right side only, so you don't have to avoid them =P
in 3d superball: you can play the game forever (in theory). when the time runs out you just need to keep the ball in the air, when it hits the floor the game is over -

My (not patented yet
) Key Layout for Heli Attack 2.
Left:a
Right:d
Up:w
Down:s
Change Weapon:Shift
Hyperjump:space
TimeDistort:E
Rest of the controls stay the same.
I never use HyperJump because a lot of the time it is easy to get hit on the way down.
You get health at 15, 30, 60, 120, so on.
I don't use TimeDistort either, but that's just a personal preference.
Try not to hide under the cave too much, as you can only get out one way. Bullets can hit you under the cave, just the helicopter must have fired them from the right angle. -

Anyway, in Heli Attack 2, if you stand under the cave thing and use an a-bomb launcher aimed on the roof, you will be knocked under ground. Its almost impossible to get hit, but the only weapons you can use are firebombs and railguns... Or flamethrower if the angle is right. To get out, use hyper jump.
I use the same Key Configs as you Tim! -

in the game airport, its helpful to have a loop that the boxes with ride on and when one gets to a turn, hit the switch and make it go that way, but dont forget to turn it back.

most of the time, this strategy is too slow and you run out of time... -

for intrusion, play on easy mode for practice
Smashes are easy to do w/ the SMG when ur falling toward your enemy and aiming at the same place
# of hits for each enemy w/ blaster:
regular men: 1
black armored troops: 2
White armored troops :3
1st jetpack troops: 2
white armored jetpack troops :3
Use the blaster only w/ correct timing and when a group of enemies are lined up (I got a Mr. Anderson once from the right timing)
use the nade launcher for teaching your enemies how to fly and for good smashes (SMGs still do better smashes, but the launcher makes smashes easily -
