Valentine's Day... Board

Valentine's Day is around a week away, and they came up with a new board. This is the first time I've seen a custom board made for Zuma Blitz.

High Score Tip: Try to gap shot near the entrance of one side, then when the balls on the second track reaches near the end, clear some and fire through those holes.

Ascension

To get to the top, you need to work your way up.

Zuma Blitz Playthrough: 2 Million

Playthrough @ Level 33 with Chrono Ball Boost. Total score: 2,084,510.

Previously a 2 Million score at level 60 was published, however a newer version was submitted with the same board as the video in the link to be fair. I believe that this shows the true meaning of mastering the double gap challenge.

After seeing someone get 2 Million in one game I decided to accept the challenge and try for a 2 million score game.

(40 games later) Do I get a bonus for doing that at lvl 60? (One mastery level later) How about Level 33? You know, before you get that multiplier powerup.

Question of the day: What level were you at when you first got 2+ million in Zuma Blitz?

Zuma Blitz: Double Gap Challenge

Since I've covered this board in a previous post I've decided to make a new challenge of obtaining as many double gap shots as possible.

Double Gap Strat: Place a ball or two near the end of one track and do gap shots on the other track as normal.

Playthrough: Hack Slash Crawl

I could do this all day. (and get more than 10+ million hs while at it, if I had more time.)

Hack Slash Crawl: A game that gets its name from Hack and Slash / Dungeon Crawl, and the game plays like Diablo II.

High Score? Werewolf + Figher for Strength / Stanima boosts. When leveling up go all Stanima and later on Strength. Spells are useful in early levels but are particularly useless later on, with the exception of Charm (can save you from death) and Crit Hit. *Charm actually converts enemies to your side for a few seconds, which means you can either run or fight fewer enemies.

Keep upgrading your equipment as you go along, and battle only one ice knight at a time (the only real thing that can kill you). Once you get over 100 ice resistance, there's no way to lose unless you try, so go for any score you feel like. (Note there isn't a shop in the game, but if there was one, the loot dropped at this point is probably a lot better than in the shop.)

Oh, and at around 50 or so levels down, you level up every 10 monsters killed. Have fun.

Lazer Tag, Blue Side

And suddenly, there's the idea of getting some pics inside the Zaps Zone laser tag arena itself and making a fps-like image.

This might give me some idea on how to model one of my art design works (Imma Firin My Lazors).

That One Iron Frog Board

Dr. Mojo said that there would be a few corners and two tracks... he didn't say however that this week's board was a modified Iron Frog board.

TIP: It's hard to get gap shots here without risking death, so unless you're very skilled, explosive powerups would be better off here to get curve clears. But after finding out the points gained from that is relative to how long you've been playing in the current game, and that balls move slightly faster with each curve clear, you might want to wait until the last 30 seconds or so before doing them.

If you do decide to do gap shots, let the inner ring fill up to around 3/4 of the track and try to make gap shots from there.

Overall, it's either you set them up correctly and get lucky with the ball order or you don't and get low scores.

Oh, and I don't have a vid to prove I got that many points, so here's a score breakdown instead. (Note the recently added 'more' tab which actually gives you an accurate score breakdown.)

Unrelated: At this point (lvl 56) I have gotten a gold Goat Sprit Animal.

(Sorry, no video this week due to the rising bandwidth caused by more people visiting than originally expected. May put a vid up once every other week.)
