Not for long mutts...... not for long!

Once I've got lvl 13 outta the way I intend to thrash the shit out of this game. (well top 100 hopefully!)
Just look out for the "Belgian Buller" :wink:

Yesterday I noticed that Worm had passed me, so I tried and tried and managed to pass him, getting from level 1 to 23 in one big go :D ...

Just look out for the Blancmange Level (14?)... Yesterday I thought I knew how it is configured (thinking I was on the outside of the cone) but my left/right controls were reversed... It is only when I drove to work this morning that I realized that I am actually INSIDE of the cone, but we're looking through the cone walls 8O

Oh - don't udder-estimate the usefulness of the right thumbstick either - I've found it invaluable for dinging those flashy red/blue bullets (I call them 'rozzers') back down the web whilst remaining in a safe lane... and helped me with the GGA achievement...

I've just 'clicked' and got 29 Million - after pushing through levels 13 and 14 with no real bother. Got the 99 and pod preserver achievement at roughly the same time.

Someone remind me what 'Rinsing' is? Is it when you Bull off an entire wave of enemies?

Thought I'd drop my most recent effort - I just cracked 61,891,691 at level 31 - currently ranked 43 (as of last night). That is an average score, based on the in game SG scoring scale.

BTW: could I receive some assistance / techniques / best level to accomplish the following achievements?
  • Great Green Arkleseizure: Get more than 20 sneeze bonuses leaving a level

    Ewige Blumenkraft: Keep the very first flower to grow on a level alive until the end of the level.
Thanks in advance, and if a link is available to the above please provide it.

I did this on one of the first 'closed' level - I just went round and round and round and round shooting. This didnt give me a particularly good score or anything but it did appear to work.

Does it have something to do with "juggling" the bullets? I though I heard that somewhere, but no matter how many I juggle (I don't die either) the sneeze are not plentiful i.e. 20 or more.

Yeah - you have to be on a level with enough bullets coming down to be able to have 20 on the go.

I managed to do the Great Green Arkleseizure several times on Level 5, purely focussing on bullets and nothing else... A bit like Level 7 = The Klepto Giraffe level...

And I even managed to get it on a level between 21 and 31 by 'just surviving', so there must be a very good level there too for doing it.

Dear Sirs Yak and Goat,

Today I have encountered the atrocity that is level number 32. While some folk might complain that the Drop of Fire might be 'a pain in the arse', it cannot be compared with the 'elephant in the arse' that is that horrid level.

You gentlemen, are not cunts, but quadruple cunts.

Yours sincerely,

Carl

“Focusing on bullets and nothing else”

So, juggle them back to the web core? I do that, but it never seems to be enough!
