Then i came to the levitihain and died there. Then I learned that spamming space makes you shoot faster than just holding it down and got to levitihan level 2, but couldnt try anymore because my fingers were tired of spamming space =P But I realized i could just set up a macro to constantly spam space (through g11keyboard, but im sure you can just find a normal program to do it for you also.) So i did that and got 500k points without losing a single life and had like 30~ish bombs and decided to just quit there. is using such macros allowed? just for SP of course! | ||

The trick, get multishot cannons, 2 drones and just spam fire. Use bombs when you are going to get hit by projectiles you cant avoid. After the first time through its just rinse and repeat. I never used plasma. I hate the non side fireing. | ||

I used to hate that too untill I noticed that with double plasma bosses just die so much faster and u don't have to take tons of attack waves from them before killing them and risking your lives. and with the 2x drones I found I had enough side firing from them.

Seems like he's telepathic and sends his crawlers right in front of me all the time. This is gonna take all day. EDIT: Managed to get to 401k but then I died. I noticed that when I use a bomb just when the leviathan has fired his first tentacle all the other tentacles will pull back and u only have to dodge the first one which is too easy. and u'll kill him really fast, try that  | ||

Here's my guide: Priority: Multishot 2 drone 2 BOMBS The reasoning here is that once you get to the later levels, you cannot rely on the drones to kill things, and you also cannot rely on being directly below something to kill it. This becomes essential on the later terran levels, where the entire top of the screen fills with wraiths that take 2+ shots to kill, and if you don't kill em quick, you'll be forced to bomb out of the mass of red lasers they fire. By level 18 I had over 30 bombs, and my deaths up until that point were almost all preventable by a bomb if I'd been willing to spend it. always use a bomb if you think you're gonna die, you get enough of them... Protoss level never gets harder, it's just ezmode rest time, and a place to stock up on bombs Zerg gets harder on it's 2nd time, but doesn't seem to change after that, it's overall easy if you understand that you don't have to spam spacebar the whole time. When the scourge scream and sit in formation on the top of the screen, burst down half of them, then dodge, then spam again before they fly down at you. If you get overwhelmed, don't be afraid to use a bomb, this level gives you fucktonnes of them. The leviathan is the most annoying fuck of a boss. His tentacle attack will rape you. Do NOT be afraid to bomb every time he uses it when there are already swarms of green all over the screen. Use the bomb right as he is firing the first one and invicibility will allow you to fly through the tentacles to safety very easily no matter where they are. Terran is easy at the start, and ramps to insanity later on. on it's second itteration and onwards there are the red side-lasers you gotta avoid. these start very spread out, but get closer together every itteration after the 2nd, until level 18 where you have 3-4 on the screen at once. The battlecruisers also get extremely harder as you go on, because they and their seeker missiles get more and more hp, until you've actually gotta dodge around the lines of seeker missiles in a circle to survive. The number of wraiths and the wraith hp also seem to go up, to the point where they were at least 2 shots to kill the wraiths in lvl 18, and my kill total was over 750 wraiths Terratron stays the same after he starts up throwing his blue blade, he just gets more and more hp. Once you get the dodgeing of his different abilities down pat he's actually pretty easy, just be ready to bomb if you're caught out of position when he does the combo of orange hand cannons + spiral red from the drones, as it is the hardest thing he has to dodge. If anyone has seen the later levels I'm really curious how hellish the terran levels get. For all those saying plasma is great, please please tell me how far you get on terran levels with it, as I just don't see you being able to get past lvl 12 or so... | ||

I hate the non side fireing. glad to see somebody else with a lot of side-cannon success, I think a lot of these people failnig to get 500k are stuck on the plasma idea because it kills bosses faster. Just learn to survive those bosses longer and stick with side-shot, a lot of the time you can't be in-line with a boss anyways, so side shot probably ends with higher overall damage on them... | ||

the drawback of not having side cannon for regular levels is really alot worse than the drawback of not having plasma cannon for bosses. pretty much drone>side cannon/plasma>bomb at all times, got >500k first try with 3 lives and 10 bombs remaining. use bombs frequently, dont worry about wasting them too much (a good estimate of what can be used:you would probably need 1ish per second boss, 1-2 for 3rd boss, maybe 2 per second stage, and 1 per last stage, first stage should be super easy with no bombs and any weapon) | ||

For all those saying plasma is great, please please tell me how far you get on terran levels with it, as I just don't see you being able to get past lvl 12 or so... Yeah terran Level without Side is a pain in the ass, but imho all bosses and the whole zerg level are a lot easier with just plasma and drones. In the zerglevel you really only need to shoot all non scourge, which is easier qith plasma imho. Sideattacks tend to kill Scourges in akward angles and you have a harder time dodging thos nasty green blobs. I did Plasma: Protss-Levi then swaped to Side as fast as possible and at the end of terran switched back to double Plasma. Main reason, because plasma is so much faster at killing bosses and the more time you spend the higher the chance you screw up and lose a live. I only played till 720k so i guess later you need the sidecannons to kill the trash. Until you reach the point where you can only kill the trash with you plasma. Well i have no urge to try it. | ||
