Mockduck Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Oh man y'all going down this month, I've gotten real good at this game. 🙂 A few tips: Go for the bonus stages each level, big points and an extra 250,000 if you succeed at them all. The pick accesses the bonus stage, after it is done the pick will reappear for a short time before disappearing for good. Grab it a second time and get all the enemies you can. Clearing a stage of enemies spawns a watermelon that is worth 100,000. Grab as few points as you can unless you are getting at least a 2X bonus. There are hidden diamonds generally along several drops each stage. I know most but not all of them. Justin and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
