EDIT: Gah, you updated your high score, haha.

Yeah, I'm trying to perfect my strategy. I'm using Cannon too, the only other one that looks like it'd be better is the Walking Tall, but I can't figure out how to lower the elevator. Also, my proof:

Haha, nice! I tried using Walking Tall but also can't figure out how to lower the lift. I have tried every button. Anyway, more runs on Catalyst tonight...great program! Very enlightening as to how the game will run, too.

It's still in beta, so I'm sure they'll fix it for the final release. Very true about how the game will run. I laughed so hard when it started raining frisbees with :30 left.

I just can't stand arcade drive. I wish there was a tank drive option. Oh well. My high scores only 50.

So I remember last year, Catalyst failed to be any help at all in our brainstorm/design process. Is it any different this year?

[BobbyVanNess]

Could someone help me? I'm at the queuing screen, but i cant figure out how to start the match. what do you have to click?

[Sean M]

Hit "Alt" (Left or Right depending on which keyboard you chose) to Select and move on.

And the raining frisbees were quite hilarious...

Yeah, I saw that one the forums.

What's the deal with climbing? Hitting caps locks just seems to make it twitch...

No hanging used. I used the dumper robot. I finally broke 100

Strategy for walking tall:
First score 4 in auto top.
Then Score all 6 color frisbees.
Finally keep scoring the white discs on top level.

played again today, and got even higher

(only 4 bonus disks, I found out 4 bonus disks and 4 regular disks > 6 bonus discs)

99 using Cannon, no hanging, no pyramid goal bonus discs.

Started in Blue 2, shot 4 in auto. Then ran shooting cycles from the discs in the center of the field. Shot from inside the pyramid lined up with the blue line at the back of the structure. As for end game, you should be running your last shooting cycle by about 40-35 seconds to go, but shoot them with the back of the robot halfway through the shadow of the pyramid, then just keep grabbing two from the human player thrown discs and shooting them from there. All discs go into the high goal.
