Hey everyone -- so I've been playing Hammerfest for a few weeks now, and while I've definitely been getting better (getting up to level 2 on the pyramid in just two weeks!), I feel like I'm no longer improving as fast as I used to be. The highest level I've gotten to is 70, and most games I run out of lives around level 65. Likewise, I can't seem to score much more than a million points. What could I improve?
I find that, as hard as I try, I can't avoid losing a few lives on early levels due to stupid mistakes, and once I get to the 60s I start losing them left and right. Should I be focusing more on collecting CRISTALs? (I usually average three or four a game before I die.) Or should I be playing more conservatively to avoid dying? Do I need to complete more quests?
And, for those of you who consider yourselves experts: What percentage of the levels between 1 and 40 would you say you can get big crystals on? I have strategies for most 4-enemy levels, but up until this point I've given up on trying to do levels with five or more. Any thoughts?
