NickF's *boopity-boop-boop* Tips and Techniques Notes

WHITEWATER WIPEOUT (8:19)

- Holding up immediately before leaving the wave lets you jump

  - You will see him shift closer to the back of the board

- Holding left or right allow you to spin faster

- Combos are created by landing at least the same amount of spins as the previous jump

  - However, can be maintained by switching between quads and trips.

- It is worth losing the combo to land the jump cleanly

  - Forcing that extra rotation will either cause you to wipe out, or leave you with too little speed to continue the combo on the next jump anyways

- Work to land triple 360s consistently before going for quads or quintuples

  - Muscle memory can be developed for number of crank rotations

- Quints likely best used at the end of a run as waves run out (due to need for extreme lead-up and recovery).

SNAK (24:24)

- Faster game modes result in faster score buildup (for those with differing attention spans)

- The game’s framerate may slow down if too many apples are on screen (particularly when climbing up the snake’s body)

  - The game’s framerate WILL slow down when the snake’s body gets too long

  - Helpful in faster levels! …But be mindful of adjusting your own (internal/perceived) rhythm of the game!

- There is a split second before crashing/dying where the player still has a chance to turn the snake (a la PacMan Championship DX)

  - Playing with the volume on will help, as the audio will also pause

- The jump mechanic has a distance of two rows/columns

- The snake can turn when doubling back on itself

  - The snake does not need to retrace its exact path (can cross lanes)

- The apples cannot climb on a section of the snake that has doubled back on itself (discussed in week 10 by Ryan)

  - Good way to stall them in place and pick them off 

- The 5-button thumb/circle/A motion is much easier to execute in Mirror

HYPER METEOR (42:54)

- Sometimes you can “spawn camp” an enemy to be in the white space before it begins to move

  - Mostly recommended for the larger meteors

- Take advantages of invincibility frames after a death to clear an overlapping cluster of enemies

- Increasing your combo is the primary method of increasing score

- Prioritizing destroying all the meteors on screen will also leave behind a greater number of smaller chunks to maintain combo between enemy spawns

- Leveling up is based on the playtime of the run, rather than amount of enemy kills or overall score

- Practice hitting enemies head-on/point-first. Gives more control over hitbox, as entire ship is a hitbox

- Take advantage of 180/360 degree turns to control momentum

- Circle enemies in the direction opposite their rotation to line up their weak spot

- Do not chase enemies, let them come to you

INVENTORY HERO (01:01:32)

- Against the Crowllector, use bombs as soon as possible

  - Subsequent rounds will require assembling more and more pieces of scrolls (halves, thirds, etc)

- The Crowllector will destroy equipped gear almost immediately

  - Hold a full suit of armor on and

- The spinning columns in the matching game stop one past the slot in which A is pressed

- Discard all rabbits as soon as they are obtained

  - There is a slight delay before multiplication

- Mushrooms will multiply in your inventory as well, albeit at a slower rate

  - Eat ones that restore health, discard ones that lose health

- Armor typically disintegrates before weapons

- Repair scrolls restore all equipped gear

- Do not hoard healing potions; they will be forcibly replaced by newly obtained items

NECROCRISIS (01:11:57)

- Mirror helps to see screen more easily during frantic cranking

- The enemy patterns are for the most part fixed (learn locations/spawns)

- Take the chance to reload after a screen before the next begins

- Enemies don’t always aim/shoot in the order which they appear on screen

- Place the cursor at a common height so you only need to move left and right

- Tweak the sensitivity to your liking (I use 12)

- PERSONAL PREFERENCE: using on Mirror gives you a bigger screen and eliminates the issue of screen shake
