Tips
LarcenTyler:
Quote
-Only one building can fall at a time. So if one building is falling when you damage another building enough for it to fall, you can still do some extra damage before it starts to go down to rubble.
-The bombs won't explode (generally) untill the soldier who set them has left the screen, so take advantage of this time frame to try to destroy it before the bomb goes off. If you have enough health, you can eat the bomb, but expect some bad heartburn!
-When you see a tank, walk towards it, but DON'T jump! Just walk towards it without stopping, and for the most part their shots should go right over you.
-You can always survive a fall from any height as long as you jump first.
-When you see a civilian sticking out of a window begging for help, help them out... and then eat them, as they're worth good health! Also, remember to take advantage of the search bonuses at the end of every week. When you see the health item, eat it immediately. It may not show up right away so keep punching untill you see it, whether in the newest hole or another one.
