Ewige!

Just got my Ewige Blumenkraft achievement. God, that was rewarding. So smug was I that I lost all of my nine lives by smirking complacently.

What a fucking brilliant game.

Still trying for that one. I've sort of lucked into getting most of my other achievements. I'm just playing and suddenly - bang - I've got a 99, or an Arkleseizure, but the Ewige eludes me.

Which level did you use? Is there a best choice for this achievement? My initial thought would be one the first levels that teaches you about Grunt Containers - there's a very sparse enemy population and you're compelled to shoot the flower in order to get enough of a powerzone to handle the grunts when you knock out the containers.

And is it just me, or do flowers grow faster and faster, like it takes more and more shots to keep them back as you continue to pummel them?

I agree with you - brilliant game, but even though I've reached lvl 64, I can't play cleanly through Portal, level 48. My best start bonus is about 116 million, but I can't quite get comfortable in Portal so I could extend that bonus to the next levels. I'll get it eventually though, I know it.

I used level 9... It's the first level with flowers.

I'd hoof shoot the flower carefully(make it short) listening to the sound... This keeps the power zone extended enough, so you don't have to worry about other enemies. It certainly needs concentration.

I'll give that a try, thanks

I increased my highscore to 144 mill. yesterday and moved up to #68 in the all-time. One thing - why does that score not show up in the Hardcore list? I have an old piss-weak score in that table.

Zappers are teh new evil I'm now facing - I reached level 68. Strangely enough, 64 didn't give me a lot of trouble. I got past it on my second attempt, though I died once so I didn't get the I Love My 64 achievement. The odd thing is that I don't remember really concentrating on it much; I just kind of zoned out, watching for flowers, bulled a couple of times and presto, the level was over and I got "OK". Everything else just withered under the fast bullets I arrived with.

Hadcore is starting from level one, the others are (AFAIK) from restart points/bonuses.
