6 )PANIC MODE
*************
I haven't been able to get through this mode. The basic premise of this mode
is practice. You have a bar at the bottom of the screen that fills up
every time you destroy a ball, once it reaches full you go up a level and
more balls start to drop.
Every so often you will see a level 1 ball flashing, this will stop the time
for 1 second.
After every 3 or so levels, the background picture will change to something
new.
********
7) EXTRA
********
You get a '1-up' for every 100,000 points you earn.
****************
7a) FRUIT POINTS
****************
Throughout the levels, fruit will drop from the ceiling or something you
destroyed. These are primarily there to help you get to 100,000 to get
another life. Here are some of the fruits I saw while playing.
300- Lemon
600- Grapes
900- Half Kiwi Fruit, Half Paw Paw Fruit, Strawberry
1000- Giant Candy, Hamburger
2000- Donut, Giant Shake, Giant Lollipop. Giant Paddle Pop, Giant Hotdog,
Piece of steak.
3000- Large Cake, Ice Cream, Pancakes
******************
7b) HINTS AND TIPS
******************
1. The gun is the most powerful weapon to get rid of the balls quickly, try
not to accidentally run back over one of the ropes when you get one.
2. Don't explode all the large balls at once. Break the balls gradually so
you only have a couple of Level 1 balls on the screen instead of lots which
makes it harder to survive.
3. Most of the time the #Metal Rope# is useless especially if you want to get
rid of balls quickly. The most effect use for the rope is blocking gaps higher
up in the screen and letting the balls be destroyed that way.
4. When you activate the clock, this is the quickest way to get rid of the
larger balls as they keep splitting on the spot.
