Oh boy....
LOL

I've always sucked at this game. I never put a lot of time into it in the past... so now is the time to get started!

[roadrunner]

I'll kick things off with 70,900

[darthkur]

15,200

[EricDeLee]

Thus far:
30,400


I will try a few more times this evening.
I'm not that good at this game. I know the key is finding a great balance in the type of tank you have.

Much better score pending! LOL Amazing what a day off from work, and the wife out shopping can do. I'll upload the picture soon.

Here it is... after a few 60K games in a row, I pulled out a great score! The only tip I had, was to adjust the tank's settings. The less shields... the more danger you run into, however you are faster.
I think that helps in all levels...EXCEPT for the timed levels/waves. I found myself scrambling to find Shield power-ups while my time was running low. Perhaps, if I pick this up again soon, I'll re-adjust the tank for more shields on that level.

Final Score:138700
