Don't shoot your eye out!
« on: December 14, 2006, 07:29:04 PM »
Ok, I know some of y'all like 'A Christmas Story'....the movie with Ralphie, who wants a Red Ryder BB gun, remember?

Some folks have made it into a Flash game...

I got bonus ammo!

So how do you get the bb to bounce.  It hits the ground at Ralphie's feet and that's it.

How many pumps are you giving it? You can get up to three, but Ralphie pumps pretty slowly.

crt360,
I think the score rolls over at 9,999,999.  I got 8,307,480 in 1,430 bounces and saw the score roll over several times with each good shot.

If you get the bb to graze a fence just right on a rebound, it'll skip along the fence and just rack up the points.  I think my best was about 139 bounces for a single shot.

Dang!  here I was all proud of myself for getting 132 bounces in one shot, and getting the million point bonus, but then I find out people have gotten even better counts....


Dang.

Most bounces I got consistently with one shot was 98, shooting at the pair of rocks on the left . . .

Alright! Did better the second time.

Score rolled over, and got 68 bounces off of one shot that one time.



Did anyone else notice that if you shoot at certain places the BB will always bounce the same way and you can rack up the points and the bounces by always shooting at those spots?

I think the score must have rolled over many times, because it was actually higher after a few shots than it was when I ran out of ammo.  I had a bunch of shots with 200+ bounces.  Am I suppose to be trying to shoot myself in the eye?
