Scrapyard 4-3

[adypete]

... that level...

atleast I finaly beat it

just wondering tho, how everyone else faired with that level, and without giving too much away, how did they beat it? after trying for hours, i went up top

[Korvax]

Wasn't aware there was more than 1 way to complete it. Still yet to finish this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ level. Kinda makes the cartographer easy and medium achievements redundant since there are no checkpoints that i'm aware of and if you can beat this level, the rest of the game should be easy in comparison.

[Sairon]

Hehe, that level is a quite a bit harder than every other level. It was a tough choice to include it, but as all levels on scrapyard is more like bonus levels, we thought why the heck not, some people really like the tough as nails levels :P

[Korvax]

Holy crap the top way is sooo much easier. Completed it for 17/17 achievements.

My strategy was using the sounds of the blocks hitting the walls as a signal for when to launch out of cannons. After you clear that 1st area with the blocks and make it out of the speed boost, the rest is easy.

[DarthPsymon]

Took a loooong time for me to do. Just kept at it until I could get past the first two cannons almost every time. I found the rest after that easier.
I almost want another level that difficult.

[Doomsday One]

The best bit of the level is that I've done it now.
My friend, on the other hand, has not. He's in for quite the surprise when he attempts it!

Shh, don't say that! They might make one!

They propably already have.

Also I am still extremely happy about being the first to post a time on that level :D

[1nsane89]

Wait... WHHAAAAT?! How can someone get 9 seconds on this level??!

LOL!! CHEEKY nimbus map makers!! :D

[Delvin]

Well, that kind of ruins the whole point of the level, don't you think? I'm wondering if it's even intentional, considering Sairon's reply above.

[Sairon]

This was not intentional, just as a few of you we've found the problem. In one way I'm kind of glad as I thought there was someone hacking. I know it sucks but we'll have to wipe the leader boards to a fresh start on this level after the next patch.

[DarthPsymon]

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (ad infinitum)

[crowebird]

So i was just going to get on here and complain about how I cant beat this one and then somehow I went through a wall... lol, needless to say I beat it in 10 seconds :X

Still can't beat it right though :(

[Sch4bern4ck]

This Level is insane ......

what do you guys mean with the top way and were can i find it ?


Edit: YAy i made it ! funny that this Level has 12 Stars when there are normaly only 10 :D For sure the hardest Level in the Game.

[pijankengur]

Nevermind

Well, like everybody, I have a hard time finishing that level. I get to the red key and enter the section where I must zigzag between spikes but can't go any further.
I see some are speaking of a top way. Do you know where I could find it ? It's be great if I could somehow avoid the spikes zigzag :P

Viz,
Well, like everybody,
I get to the red key
Haha, not everybody man :D

[happyhaddock]

I'm having trouble with the timing on the first cannon. No matter when I choose to launch there seems to be a block there waiting to push me into the spikes. Korvax mentioned using the sounds of the blocks hitting the sides earlier in the topic, so I wonder if anyone could expand on that for me?

Thanks in advance!

(And yes, twelve stars - and worth every one of them!)

[_morgoth_]

You should hear a repetition of something like "tump - tump ---- tump".
Launch just before the third "tump" and you should get past the first 2 blocks. However, you still have to avoid the third by steering a little to the left (or the right, depending on which side is the 3rd block).
Good luck with that level, it's really hard. I'd love to see a checkpoint after the speed boost section since I keep dying after getting the red key xD

[_morgoth_]

Yay! I finally beat it! Ha, I hate the devs for including this level in the game but I also love them in a weird way for the same reason :D
Anyway, it's been a long time since I felt this proud to finish a game.
Thank you for your great work Noumenon people! :)

And if anyone is struggling with the zig zag between the spikes by the end of the level, here's a tip: the red key is a trap. ;)

[gazzawhite]

Wow, just finally beat it! Probably the hardest achievement I've earned yet. No doubt about that 12 star rating.

I'm going to describe how I achieved it (except for the very end), so if you don't want to know please stop reading :)

This is exactly right. You should launch a (very tiny) fraction of a second before the 3rd "tump". That should get you past the first 2 blocks. You need to steer a little to the side to avoid the 3rd block, but then very quickly correct yourself so you don't hit the spikes.

For the second cannon, I aim it a couple of pixels right of centre, and time it EXACTLY the same as the first cannon, firing right before the 3rd "tump". I fire when the horizontal moving block above me is to the left. I then steer my ship to the right of the horizontal block, and over the first 4 vertical blocks, then UNDER the last block (i.e. between the last 2 blocks). This is very tricky to do but this is my most consistent method. The hardest part is the final 2 blocks. You don't want to brake at all here.

For the speed boost zone, it's best if you don't brake AT ALL. This obviously makes it extremely difficult, but you need a lot of speed otherwise you will not be able to get to the end. This is possible to do with a keyboard (which is what I used) but I'm guessing a controller is more convenient.

After that you're pretty much set. Good luck!

Could someone record a video of this level? I don't think I'll ever be able to beat this one.

[Sunfit]

Hey everyone :)

[Hageshisa]

I died twice in front of the finish before somehow beaten it.

Don't even want to see this level ever again. :D
