ARKRETRN : funny things

Post by Phil Lamat »

Game has 50 levels.
If you finish a normal game, you will get around 600k+.
No boss at the end (you can't leech it like in Arkanoid), no bonus for remaining lifes.

So I was wondering how the WR is 1.5M+

I upload there 2 inputs showing my theory.
First input : round 1 only, but shows how to never lose !

And now (still wolf135) same technic, but on round 4, where are some flying enemies : you can see there the beginning of a leeching.
Not infinite (if you're patient enough, you will that an object makes the ball lose his path).
But I guess that with some luck, you can leech enough to do the 1.5M.

Funny :)
But do you calculate that 1M5 is possible doing that trick in how many stages out of 50?
