Just a quick go today. Which means two hours or so. Had a go on Advanced, and didn’t manage to progress any further than previously, and then tried Skin Edit mode and got a feeble score of 800,000-ish for a single lap. Bah.

Achievement GET! Which is amazing as they’re a bit bloody hard in this game. I finally managed to complete one ‘loop’ of Base mode, scoring about 180,000 points. Somehow, this puts me at the top of my friends leaderboard and 141st in the world. Um, how?

Is it actually possible to get one complete cycle of Base mode? I think not. I had a bloody good go at it, and beat all my previous high scores, but still didn’t manage to complete a full “loop”. Then I played Advance Mode, and managed to get far enough in to break 100,000 points, and also unlock three new skins. After that, I played Heavenly Star (I think it’s called that, anyway) for a while until I died.

This too was played in two-player mode, and, this too was mostly won by me. The overall score being 9-3 or something I think, before we decided the two-player mode wasn’t actually all that great so we stopped playing.

I downloaded all the expansions for this yesterday, and had a go with some today. Firstly, was the new Heavenly skin thing, which was nice but as it was just one skin, it kept looping over and over and I got a bit fed up with it. Then I tried Advanced Mode, which seemed easier than Base, although I didn’t get anywhere near the high score I had on Base. Then I tried Base again, and unlocked two more skins, …

Got further than ever before on Base mode, getting as far as a new skin, but only managing 60,000-ish points. How on earth you’re supposed to get half a million, I have no idea. I then played Time Attack, and got the 150 (actually, 181) in 300 seconds achievement, and managed 299 for the 300 in 600 seconds one. Not happy there! Grr.

Well. I thought I’d try to get a few more achievements, starting with the “clear a round of Base in Challenge Mode”. So I cleared a round (which I must have done before too), and nothing. More luck was had with the 150 Second Time Attack one, as I got it on my first attempt! Aces.
