Space Invaders High Scores

[Tiank]

I think this map is extremely unpopular, that's why I started this topic, to add a bit more of a competition

Anyone who wants to share a score, may make a post with screen shot and replay and will be added to Space Invaders Hall of Fame!

Of course, I doubt that you will be able to beat me, but you can try.

Have fun!


Bonus info (in order from left to right):

Recruit - spawns Tower in the middle
Militia - your units are Militia in max amount of 50
Scouts - Increase total amount of units by 3
Warrior - Sends super bomb - kills surrounding units when killed (big radius)
Rebel - Sends bomb - kills surrounding units when killed (small radius)
Mushroom - Insta Kill

All bonuses last 20 seconds (except for Extra Life Bonus). With bombs, you got 20 seconds to send it, only one bomb.

Here's my score, I was able to reach over 70 000 one day, but lost replay. Still, this is not bad I think . Played on 3x speed.

I like the idea of making this topic. Finally something related to single player yet still of my interest! Waiting for cmowla to beat it. On a related note, I don't remember how did the points system work, but hopefully it takes time into account, and adds some extra points for unused bonuses, like I planned.

I saw this mini-game in single player maps and gave it a try.
My final score is 128147 (finished in 1:11). It's an entertaining map, well done sado.

At first I was like



then I was like



And then I watched the replay. You abused bonus life feature, so I wouldn't say it's a legitimate win. It shouldn't be done like that imo, since the way of granting bonuses is random, so if you are lucky enough you can go on and on with doing something like that and the score wouldn't be about skill, but just luck.

However, I would like to see your score when you beat it the normal way, as I noticed, that at level 20 you had already higher score than me. And I would like to have a competition here, to see if I can improve

@Tiank: Militia Bonus is also very handy to make high scores in 1 round... would be "luck" and no skill if you keep obtaining Militia while passing the rounds. Specially in round 20 (xbows), using 50/50 militia would give you around 30000 points, while doing it in the normal way 15/15 militia, you can get around 15000 points only.

My proposal is to redo the Hall of Fame, playing under these rules for Max Skill demonstration-> Speed x1, No Bonuses.
Post: 3 letters name - final score [total time] bonuses collected (displayed in unique second of round 22)
To get the final screenshot, you will need to run your replay and in the second it switches from round 21 to round 22, pause and copy screen. This way we are exact with the total time, and the bonuses earned from round 21 are also taken into account.

Yeah, in my highest score I used Militia Rush on some levels (not gonna tell on which ones, but it's pretty easy to spot on;) ) and I noticed how the score was skyrocketing. So it is based on luck as well.

I agree - to make it all more skill based we should play with no bonuses, but on whatever speed player want. Yeah, it's easier to play on lower speeds, but it should be up to player which speed he chooses.

It would be really great, if sado modifies the script, so that for gathered bonuses you get extra points (the more bonuses at end, the higher score).

[Jeronimo]

Today I made a new record for the Hall of Fame with bonuses.
I'm worried my scores will kill motivation because are nearly impossible to beat.
