Got 1.3 mil the other day. Earlier I could have gone way longer because I was trying to see how far I could go without using bombs and I scored 900,000. I don't use the circle pattern anymore. I now use a figure 8 followed by quick left/right cuts for the jacks. I'll be back for more soon, as I need 50 more points from this game.

My top is 130,000. Only got the 360 a few days ago though, so im doing pretty well.

Wheres k4rn4ge when u need him, i think it said 33 million (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif).

Those little red goons that look like u and follow u are annoying, and i always seem to miss the little broken bits of the pink guys.

Awesome game though!

How the hell are you guys pulling off 1m+ scores?   My highest was 288,000 and I thought I was getting freakin gnarly on that run.

my best is 2.8 million or something like that, I cant remember exactly  

I have all 12 acheivements though, survive one million is a rush!

same here metal, got my mil+ score a few days ago... the game's weird though, i spent a while only being able to survive 100,000, then it crept up to the 250,000 and i could do that every time, then 500,000... the achievements are really well placed as youll just everntually get to that level where you can do them fairly regularly, almost every time.. i thought the 9 lives and 9 bombs would be impossible, but i get those achievements all the damn time now...

Me, too. When I got the "Survive 500k", it gave me the 9 lives at the same time. The 9 bombs was the hardest for me because I have an itchy trigger finger.

after i broke 1 mil i haven't really played the game since.  the last time i played i got to 400k and handed the control to my friend cause he was claiming if he could start at 400k he could get to a million.  that was fun to watch and he only ended up at 430k smile.gif  after i complete some of the other games i've bought (GRAW, Burnout Revenge, etc) i'm going to go back to geometry wars and go for the 2 mil+ mark smile.gif

my best is 2.6 mil and the only thing i got left is survive 1mil.

I swear the game knows it too i cant tell how many times ive been killed at 900k by having a ring of snakes around me near the wall (i.e. instant death). I am 100% still addicted to this game. been playing since launch too

my highest is ike 980,000... to those with low scores, there is a "key" to this game... its basically u have to know when to engage and when to run and get chased... its a delicate balance btweeen the two... make circles around the board while doing this... DO NOT go from the corner to the center, u WILL die... save bombs but dont be too cautious with em, cuz u can lose the potential multipliers

There are times when I play where my ship goes through the tiniest of crevices. I mean, there are tons of enemies on screen and I try to guide my ship out of harm's way and I manage to sneak through pixel-thin spaces. Those were times I was sure I was dead. Those are movie moments right there. Whew!

Thanks for the news, lost. Now I know that when I survive 1 mill that I'll get the x10 at the same time. biggrin.gif

I finally made it yesterday..... barely..... 1'000,105, I thought i will get there easy when had 925k and 4 lives and 3 bombs left... but then I died, died again..... and again.... and barelly got to the millionaires club....
now I only have 3 achievements left, 10x multiplier, 9bombs and survive 1mill, which of those is the easist to be my next target, i know survive 1mil its almost impossible, but at what score without dieing should I reach the 10x multiplier(about 800k??), and the 9bombs I have to get to 600k without using a bomb, that has to be really though also.....

I recommend bombs first.

10X multiplier and survive 1 mil should be in the same game I imagine.  Unless you do what I did, and drop the controllor because my hands were sweating so badly at 985,000 points that I couldn't hold onto it anymore.

Talk about a heartbreaker.  

It took a while, but I eventually nailed the 12/12 achievements on this one.  My proudest gamer points to date.

just got 2.9mil today heartbreaker it was so close to 3mil too


9lives/9bombs are the wierdest things in my mind. They went from impossible to common play. At 600k i had 1 life and 4 bombs, thought I was done, went on a long run and i looked up and i had 9lives and 9 bombs and was sitting at 1.5mil.

I got 202,350 this morning, my best score ever. I just got up out of bed, turned the 360 on, sat on my bed and played. First time, within 20 mins of getting up. Im getting used to getting higher scores now.

1.24 mil for me.

The trick is to learn to use the bombs. They are there to protect you. If you manage to learn to spam the bombs at the first sign of danger you shouldnt have trouble getting over 1 mil. No use hogging the bombs (unless you are heading for the achievement that is...).

BTW this game is gona be the bane of my wireless controller. Ive lost count of the times ive thrown the thing on the freaking desk or floor. I can actually feel the edges of the controller case breaking a bit apart (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

My best so far is 6.35 million (GT: Wudan Wilf) was about 285 on the leaderboard.

Leaderboard is crazy.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Played like 3-4 games then I just magically was doing good, got 9 lives, got 500,000 without dying the for the first time, then i thought i was gona get the bombs but i didnt want to take no risks so i used them. Never got 9 bombs or 10x mutiplayer but i got 1,514,595 which is an improvement of almost a million biggrin.gif
