Always jump from the very top of the bridge. Then when you land on the other side, immediately jump kick that SOB with the knife.

Yeah, I noticed that if you jump from the top, he won't quite get up to where you are when he tosses the knife, and it will fly right past you.

I jump from the top because the perspective of the bridge throws my brain off. When I jump from the middle I usually end up in the river because I can't determine where the edge is. I jump too early or too late. For whatever reason the issue disappears at the top.

After that ,the guy normally doesn't have an opportunity to chuck the knife before I knock him down.

Cool, thanks for the tips! I'll try to give it another go or 2 before the deadline.

I made it past that bridge but not without losing 2 lives.
I ran out of time on mission 3

A little improvement: 73,700



There are a lot of cheap deaths in Mission 4 that are just infuriating.

I hope I get a chance to put up another score by Sunday...man, hectic over here! Great scores, dudes.

Got demolished at you-know-where!

By the way, it turns out the headbutt rules for points. 700 points a pop, and you have it right from the start of the game. You are almost guaranteed to get hit with it though, so be careful!

Wow. Thanks for that tip, Austin. It won't help you beat the game, but it's definitely a score booster.

I'm disappointed though because I lost my first life due to a missed a jump in the caves. The second
because I took too many hits from those #*&$% stones and these guys took me out.

Yeah, I died at a pretty retarded spot too--the top of Mission 2 when that guy comes out of the door. I was trying to headbutt him, but I let my life get too low and he took three pellets of life away with a quick move or two. I should have just forced him off the screen by going back down the ladders instead of playing risky.

I lost my other two lives at the blocks. I checked some YouTube videos, and there doesn't seem to be a specific pattern. Ugh.

I will probably give this game one more try tonight.

Wow, you guys and your insane scores!...those purple Chins are tough, I remember that spot. Headbutts, eh?...I'll have to try that out.

It would appear that there's a 'maximum' point total to be had in this game, if you do 'all the right moves', am I correct in assuming that? I don't think extra time at the end of a round counts for any points, so the number of enemies is fixed, and if you maxed out the way you take em out, there 'should' be a max score, right?

I wonder if Billy Mitchell knows....probably. Not.

The Chins aren't really tough. Just make sure you are kicking them. It's not very safe to use any other move on them. Try to get it to where your foot barely touches them. That will give you the advantage on them.
