MUTANT STORM HINTS & TIPS

Need help with the evil beasties of Mutant Storm?
Here are a collection of useful hints and tips.

Survival Hints

  • Be aggressive.
    Always keep your eye on what's teleporting into the level at any time. A slight delay in blasting that group of robots and you'll be overrun.
  • Always use the power-ups.
    Especially the blue ones. The spinning spikes may not earn you points, but they cause some serious damage.
  • Use your Smart Bombs.
    Its ALWAYS better to use a bomb then lose a life. Remember that!
  • Don't waste time on soft aliens.
    Always go for the most threatening enemy on screen. Generally, the bigger they are, the faster they MUST fall.

High Score Tips

  • Your multiplier is you biggest points earner.
    Its always better to use a smart bomb, or Spinner power-up, then lose a life & a multiplier.
  • Sequential kills earn big points.
    Kill several of the same type of beastie in a row to earn points bonuses. Combined with the score multiplier, this can be huge.
  • Try to keep as many of the passive cube-creatures alive.
    These earn you bonuses if you don't destroy them
  • Finishing all levels can earn extra score multipliers,
    depending on how many difficulty belts have been progressed through. For example, starting on white belt and finishing on Blue will earn you an extrax5!!
  • Every 10 levels, bonuses are awarded for unused smart bombs.
    These bonuses become huge if you have over 5 smart bombs stored.

SPACE TRIPPER HINTS & TIPS
Here we will try to give as much help as possible to those having trouble with Space Tripper. Firstly, remember.....you are not alone. Space Tripper is tough as hell, and while some people like it this way, many find it just too damn hard!!
If you are one of them, here are some tips....
  • Keep moving....always.
    In Space Tripper, things need to be dealt with quickly. Sit around for to long and you WILL be overwhelmed.
  • Use the radar.
    This is very important. You need to know where your enemies are coming from, else you wont stand a chance.
  • Use both weapons.
    Don't forget to use both weapons to their strengths. The spread weapon is great for clearing loads of smaller beasties, but lacks any real power.
    To clear anything that takes a few shots e.g.. Bosses, use the blue laser.
  • Spider Boss.
    Blowing up the various guns and rocket launchers on the Spider wont kill it. You need to blast its nerve center to finish the job. This is only exposed when the spider opens up to fire its main fireball weapon at you.
  • Always be blasting.
    In Space Tripper, time is all important. If at any time you are not blasting something, then you are not playing fast enough!!
