On top of this, I would have coded it such that you could only shoot a finite amount of enemies (and still earn points for doing it) prior to getting the next document. This would force the player to get more documents (object of the game) instead of just stand in a sweet spot and shoot.

We can re-code the game, but alas we can never rid the world of point leeches.

I was stuck playing too aggressively on this game until I saw SekOner's awesome strategy.

40 or 50K seemed possible until I realized the peaceful approach only lasts so long (as SekOner describes as the 'start of the game'), now I am reaching for 20K.

It seems the only way to get ahead in this game is to be really patient and somehow play out a long 'dance' with the robots, at times distracting them to the opposite levels, drawing them in then running away.

Also, did anyone notice a small bug with the 1st document's placement upon reset? After playing an untold amount of games and constantly hitting reset to try again a few times I would start the game with the 1st document on the 1st floor - right next to me, unguarded.

45 minutes of straight resets has burned me to a crisp, I'm done with this game.

I'll try for 20K again tomorrow no doubt........

finally broke 20K but I do think I'm still capable of more

I'd like to see a seperate challenge, how many points can you rack up without ever shooting? Having an XX000 score will prove your gameplay.

Im pretty sure im getting close to the pattern and strategy he used. but geez 2 million seems very very far from my reach. I'm definitely getting tired of this game. I think i've had enough for a week ha ha. You have no idea how many times i've had to reach over and pull the reset switch.
