It's so addicting. I played it for about an hour but could only get to level 47. It hurts my eyes too.

Best Tutorial in a Game EVER!

Ok, here is for people who don't have the time to play the game for hours to learn all the tricks.
1. If you don't make it full screen, and lower the resolution, its easier to both move around, increase frame rate, and reduce seizures.
2. Each Color has a special ability.
Blue - Super Shot
Green - Tracking
Red - Speed
Yellow - Spread Shot
3. The more blocks you have connected the longer the super ability lasts AND the more powerfull it is. So for example, Yellow (which is the hardest combos to get) If you combine 2 - 4 blocks you get a 3 shot, 4 -6 blocks a 4 or 5 shot (hard to count) and The max you can get is 6 shots at a time.
The upgrade lasts as long as the amount of bonus time you get is, so if you absorb 3 blocks you get +3 secs AND your bonus lasts for 3 seconds, As your bonus time goes down, the power of your bonus also goes down. So if you get 6 yellow blocks, it lasts for 6 seconds with 6 shots, however after 2 seconds you will only have 5 shots, then 4 shots then 3 shots, then 1 shot and you need to absorb more yellow again.
Hope that made sense.

Also, to absorb, push the left shift key over the blocks, took me a bit to figure that out 
Corr2005-09-27 23:09:50
I changed the buttons so that my Left mouse button shoots and my Right mouse button absorbs. This way I can just keep my finger down on the shoot button and not break my keyboard.
Also, some things I left out.
When you kill a ship it turns into a block (duh!) but if you kill the ship where a block allready exists, it does not. (This is a draw back to having your blocks up too high, or to killing ships when they are too low or off screen)
Also, I'm wrong about the seconds, but you get the idea.
A trick I use is I try to build up a section of blue blocks to save for when I'm near level 40 and I use up small sections of blocks for the early levels.
I think (but I have not counted) that in level 1 you need one basic shot to kill a ship but in level 40 you need 40 basic shots to kill a ship, and I think your Blue shot can get up to 10X as powerfull. (guesstimates here)
Edit: Last but not least, each color ship shoots the type of shot the bonus gives you, so Green and Yellow ships are more nasty then Blue and Red ships. If you have the presence of mind for a split second, try to kill Green and yellow ships first as they are harder to dodge.

My favorite is getting a HUGE block of Red. Atleast 9 or more blocks, no matter what upgrade I have the ships die before I can see what I hit.
Vix2005-09-28 03:05:50
Some of those tips worked well. I got to level 49!

0002770800 Stage:47 I was shooting the last ship left in 47 and my time ran out because I had NO blocks left to get 
Corr2005-09-29 18:50:39
SCREAM! My keyboard just broke so I went out to get one of those new age wireless keyboards and Invalid TAngram won't work with it for some reason! :cry:
Looks like I'll have to be on level 48 forever. Go Vix!

ya I love getting a HUGE chunk of red blocks, oooh or lots of green.
But what I've noticed the most is even if I've got a lot of green/red/blue
I really need some yellow x3 shooting is really nice
