Good points indeed. Have you determined if you lose points if a fleet ships gets damaged by 'roids and kozmos? I have a headache so I only played once, and quit. Will try again tomorrow.

Edit--I played again. Never stray too far from the freezer. And go for the faster objects first, the slow ones can wait. Common sense stuff really.

Yeah, i think if the Freezer gets hit you do loose your points to me there are two types of points
- First the points which you get from hitting enemies
- Second the points you get for completing the wave (I think if you die you don't get your "wave bonus points")
- As for the fleet ships i thought they were only there to protect the Freezer too sort of acting as disposable shields.. Not too sure if you louse points if they get hit.

Still bloody tough though. Only managed to wave 3 so far. I shall persevere. Points again don't seem to show up on fleet table.

Shows my own score, but the fleet score seems to be wrong again. It may sort itself out like it did last time.

Currently we are bottom of the groups which i can't see as being right. Plus theres only one person in the ranking. Well on TT anyways.

Oh well, will head to bed and try again tomorrow. Anyone seen the boss yet?

[avr1991]

Yeah they're showing up in the wrong teams, we used to be second from right and now we're second from left, so i think they just mixed up the images in the score section

Yay! I have the highest score on Earth for now!

[punxtr]

Good job team, let's keep trying!

[Ir0ns]

Got my RP Tee today! That was bloody quick i have to say!

[punxtr]

Awesome!

Btw, good job everyone! My third try got me a 1600! I messed up so bad in the fourth wave but somehow made it to the fifth! I didn't get very far in the fifth; nor did I encounter a boss. Darn.

Edit--I'm only using punxtr from now on. I don't want anyone to feel I have an unfair chance at the top five. This is about teamwork, after all

A couple of other players have mentioned about the 6th and final wave (Noc14672 and cuinXlifebro are the ones I've seen, anyone else I have failed to mention, I am sorry for the oversight). At some point the boss comes out. He has five hot points and simply moves toward the freezer. Not sure what he does if he reaches it, I've simply pumped him full of laser.

A word of warning however. At some point after killing the boss, the game will freeze up (no pun intended) and you will not be able to save that score. Very frustrating to say the least. So after killing the boss, you can either let the meteors and/or Cosmo ships destroy your freezer. In a pinch, you can even destroy the freezer if you feel like it.

I may not have the highest score out there, but there is a simple technique I am trying that has allowed me to get to the last boss. I search north and south (up and down) while following the freezer as it moves left and right. By intercepting the enemies that are directly heading toward the direction of your freezer you will cut down on surprise attacks (enemies that inexplicably appear right next to the freezer). Don't linger too long on the edges of the screen, those pesky Cosmos and meteors will sneak up on you!

Good luck Twin Teamwork!

Great advice! I've always been killed by the sudden spawners!

I also found that my mouse moves a damn site better using Google Chrome than Internet explorer and other browsers.

I can now get into the fourth stage whereas before i couldn't even get off the second.

[punxtr]

I'm terrible at this. Pilot Eyes was very easy to gauge progress on. Defense can seem fine and then all of a sudden you're without a shield and you lose during the 4th wave. I've been on the fifth wave before. When you say there is a sixth, do you mean the sixth is the final wave or is it the next wave?

[tether]

When you complete the fifth wave, it will say "prepare for final wave". It's basically a full fledged wave with a boss near the end of it. The handful of times I've seen the boss he comes from the right side of the zone (be wary however, he could most likely appear anywhere). He moves at about the same as one of the red Cosmo ships, but he requires five hits to take down.

It may not be the same for everyone, but I have had the game freeze up completely after killing the boss in the final wave. There are still some ships and meteors flying around (at least there was for me) when the boss dies so I just let them attack the freezer.
