Dawndus Rocks

I’m working on a massive post, so here’s some filler:

dawndus

It’s really not that hard, providing you can survive a while to get things moving (which isn’t a problem, since Dawndus is pretty lenient, physics-wise). If you can connect every single column into one block and launch while most of the screen is entirely filled with Meteos, it’ll launch between 80-100 and come back down. If the Meteos are falling so fast that the screen is refilled by the time the block lands, you can keep the chain going, and going, and going.

For those interested, the chain indicator stops at x99 and the in-game Meteos counter stops at 9999, although the end of game tally shows the full amount launched. You don’t even need to get CLOSE to 9,999,999 points to end with it as your final score; I died with about 1.8 million points, but the chain bonus was so gargantuan that it pumped up the score all the way up. Good times.

    Holy Shit! You played for over 15 hours and reached 10 million points? That’s in-fucking-credible! I bow to your Meteos superiority.

    That’s 15 minutes, actually. I don’t know why it uses a colon as the separator for the decimal portion of the seconds. :\

    Well, that just shows how long it’s been since I’ve last played this game. Hehehe. I got all of the endings and unlocked nearly everything, but I can’t say I’ve come close to mastering the game. I believe you have.

    Pffff. Any game with a combo multiplier, CHz just wins at, automatically. It went something like this…

    It was one dark, stormy night after years of Tetris Attack and Tony Hawk that he met the devil, down at the intersection between the half pipe and the long block. CHz said “I’ll be willing to give you my immortal soul, if you’ll give me the power to win at any game with a combo multiplier.” The devil said “Sure,” and gave him the power. CHz then reminded him that he already traded his immortal soul for a sandwich in 1997. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn’t stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

    I remember it like it was yesterday.

    This is a late reply, but Colin, your story isn’t quite true. I still beat him at both games.
