How to Play 1 - Enemy behaviour
The map

  • The lava will reduce the ground floor then get higher on 1 floor. Lava kill you.
  • The sky will spawn : eggs, skulls, woah.
  • Later, some Alien UFO will appaer.

Enemy behaviour / evolution

  • After a time, eggs will flash, then spawn a green alien.
  • Green alien will walk straight, until they fall into lava, evolving into a lava monster.
  • Lava monster will run (faster than walk), until they fall into lava, evolving into a pants jumper.
  • Pants jumper will run (faster than green alien, but slower than lava monster) and jump at irregular interval, make them able to stay in the arena much longer or not, until they finally fall into lava, evolving into an eyebat.
  • Eyebat, the final evolution of the alien will fly from bottom of the screen to you. The speed is slower if closer they are.

  • UFO is not part of the evolution, but will join the party in mid game. They stay on top of the screen and can use a lazer ray to destroy some platform. They need 2 hit to die. Plus : UFO can shoot other enemy (UFO excepted) sometimes.

Each enemy remove one of your precious life (start with 3 life) if you touch them.
How to Play 2 - Your weapons
You can pick up :
  • Skull bomb : Your primary weapon, throw them on eggs or enemy to destroy them.
    Also, if you don't use a skull bomb, it will explode anyway and probably kill something.
  • Eggs : Your secondary weapon, if no skull bomb spawn, take an eggs to kill a green alien.
  • Woah block : Your Emergency weapon, throw them on an enemy or a wall or a platform to make everything explode and jackpot money everywhere :)

If you take care to kill the eggs / green alien as soon as they spawn, you will never be bothered by strong version of the enemy. But the reward is weak.

So, if you got a woah block, protect it (from skull bomb) and you can try to let enemy evolve use it and get more money. You can choose your strategy : more risk, more gold. or slower and safer.
How to play 3 - Gold
Gold disappaer with time, but enough time to NOT rush on it, better wait for an opportunity to take them without risk.
Achievement - The good reward
Main Objective : score




Collect money. The hardest achievement in fact..

Super kill

Kill 10 enemy with a Woah Block. Efficient usage :)



Kill an Eyebat, the ultimate evolution. Good in term of money reward, but risky.



Kill an UFO, 2 hit to kill.
Achievement - The bad reward
The Death

Get killed by a UFO beam!


The stupid action

Throw a Woah Block in the Lava!



Destroy a Woah Block with another Woah Block! Unefficient..



Let a Woah Block get blasted by a UFO!



Let two platforms get blasted by UFOs!



Name yourself POO when you score is bad (not a requirement) :)
Other thing.
For some reason, the volume of the music increase during game (sometimes very loud and i don't distract my self by reduce sound when i focus on my Dave). Fortunately, the tune is not so bad :)

Finally, thanks to you reader for reading this guide. Don't hesitate to comment if you find stuff to add (like how many coin per enemy type, or an english mistake because it's not my main language) and if you found it usefull, a green thumb/gold star will be enjoyed :)

If this is a real leaderboard (old arcade machine use to have a local leaderboard initialized with fake value), i am the first to get above 10 :)

[h1] i found some things worth mentioning: [/h1]
- eggs hatch faster the more time passes, while skull bombs remain the same time limit throughout.
-when eggs and skulls flash, they indicate hatching and blowing up immediately after. Here's the catch: eggs flash for about 1.5 seconds before hatching and skull bombs flash for about 2 seconds before blowing up. (this information is relevant in longer games when every second counts)

and the main advice : pratice, it's like super meat boy, you do shit on first try, then get better with experience.

A good idea to start is to pack stuff on top left or top right and make a multiple kill with one skull bomb. and wait for a woah block to get a big score (you can get 0.5 - 0.6 per woah block if you are lucky)

Thanks for the guide, very well writen. I am just very poor at this game, I did only 1.19... What is your strategy? Do you have any video to recommend on how to improve our score? Thanks :)
