Escape to Kreludor

[Fool Hi]

i scored about 820 or so and won better than you on m first try unfortunately i was 12th place, if i was a minute faster i could of gotten gold trophy... and i usually reset the game if the first level doesnt have +50 pts or an extra life

[ScottNak]

I love this game! I keep getting killed, though.

How do you control the dirction you shott? I shoot west and east when I wanna shoot north and south.

The guns will shoot on the "sides" of your ship.

If you just moved up/down, you will shoot to your left and right
If you just moved left/right, you will shoot to the top and bottom.
If you just moved diagonally (/), you'll shoot (\)
and vice versa for the other diagonal move.

And yes, listen to fool hi if you want a high score. Unless you start with a +50 (purple) or an extra life (white) then restart.

OK I really don't like this game but I started playing and Im addicted :p

Not doing very well yet though, high score of just over 400

[Mr. Darkside]

My highscore was, umm...let me check...425.

Is anyone having a bug with the white gem, by the way? When I took one, the music continued to play, but the the effect sounds didn't work after that. Like the shots, explosions...

[ScottNak]

Yes. i can confirm that. Sound effects do stop, but the endless background music continues... and continues...

I'm sure they'll fix it up by tomorrow.

Hmmm they are updating the game some i guess. The comet is MUCH bigger now... more noticeable, which is a good thing

I love this game
I submitted a game guide to Yukio, but I guess I'll post it here as well.

Escape to Kreludor

Why would one want to leave Virtupets, the purpouse eludes me. Still, I am biased due to payment of Sloth. Still, those of us who do want to Escape to Kreludor have 2 options, clicking the moon link on the map, or playing this cool game about evading Sloth's spacecrafts over an 11x11 grid.

Now, in this turn-based strategy game, the aim is to kill all the enemies on one level, to progress to the next. You can move around the level to evade the spaceships, by clicking on empty spaces next to you. There are numerous ways of blowing up Sloth's space fleet. The most simple is by getting itno such a position to shoot the opponent. When you press the space bar, or click on your spaceship you fire two missiles, out of your left and right side. This missiles travel for 3 squares, and will blow up the first space ship that it comes in impact with it, creating space debris. The space debris have the same effects as rocks, whose primary use, besides blocking your path, is blowing up a space craft on contact. The blue-grey space craft, the basic ones, will go in any direction to crash into you, even if a carelessly placed rock is in place. If it crashes into a rock, or space debris, then, the space ship will die, however, the improved red spaceship will avoid such impacts. The final method of killing such evil spacebeings is by getting two space crafts to collide. Doing so will kill both space crafts, however, this is rather uncommon, and red space crafts will avoid other spacecrafts in these circumstances. Remember, watch out for comets, white circles with tails, as they are they will chace you the same as the other space ships, but can't be destroyed.

Each level, you will see a 'power-up', a spiky ball that is a certain colour. These colours relate to the power-up these will give to you. A pink power up gives you 50 bonus points. A green power up will cloak you. This means that Sloth's ships can't pick you up, so will move randomly, very handy when your being chased by all the other ships. A blue power-up will downgrade the other ships types. This is only really useful in the later levels, turning the red upgraded ships into blue-grey basic ships. The red power will empulse. This creates will send a force wave, killing all space crafts in a range of 3 squares, however, this doesn't create space debris. Again, useful when you are in the middle of many ravaging space crafts. The rare white power-up will grant you one extra escape pod. The final board feature you see is the warpholes in the corners of the field. These will take you to a random free space on the board, however, this could be next to an enemy space craft, so, beware!

In my opinion, this is a greate game, and very simple. Congratulations to neopets to come up with a cool game!

Any additions/changes should be submitted in writing
Just kidding, just here to help

You spelt "great" wrong in the second to last line

Yeah, I also noticed that if you're on a level with a comet, and you get a blue gem, the comet turns into an asteroid. I don't think it did that before.

I noticed this as well... and i could have sworn i posted it here too... as an edit to my previous post... *shrug*

Ah, I thought it was that. It always shoots on my sides.

Got a hi-score of 260 on my first game. God, this is hard! >.<

[Duke of Earl]

I don't know about other people, but i'm getting a bug occasionally where the gem on the level just disappears after a couple of moves; not enough time to even get close to the gem...
