Awright, Juno First is first in hopefully a long line of trustworthy suggestions by yours truly.

Before we begin, here's your benchmark score.

ExedExes - 230,060

Now I hear you all groaning and leaving the thread, but before you bolt for the doors, I'm gonna help out those who are less familiar with this game.

Think of it as a vertical Defender. You have the long range scanner on the top, enemies that roughly resemble and appear just like the alien landing ships, and even the chance to save humans here. Plus, the second button is your Warp, that will get you out of trouble, much like Hyperspace can.

Each wave has many of these alien ships, but you can easily avoid them and their shots by moving up to speed up, and holding down will reverse the direction of your ship. Yes, you can travel backwards in this game, and it might help. A warning though, the longer the ships stay alive, the harder they'll be to destroy, they will change colors and fire faster.

Be on the lookout for a blue circular space capsule (looks like an asteroid) with a spaceman inside once shot at. Pick him up for fast points, then the screen turns red and you enter a special mode where the enemies don't fire back, but they also don't appear on the screen quite as fast - these enemies start at a certain point value and increase by 200 pts for each one (up to 3200 pts) you can kill during the red screen period.

When a wave is cleared, you receive a point bonus for time remaining. (anywhere from 100 - 400 (depending on wave) multiplied by every 5 seconds left on the timer, example if you had 64 seconds left in wave 1 it would be 100 X 12 = 1200)

You have 3 uses per stage of the Warp feature by pressing the second button, it temporarily breaks your ship up clearing the screen, and you'll use that to avoid enemy fire, collisions, and the dreaded mines that appear starting in Wave 4, which are best avoided by reversing your ship and shooting them, because scrolling them off the screen doesn't always work.

Extra lives are at every 100K.

That's it for now, hope more of you will try this!

55,520 - this is fun but I bet this gets crazy challening. I havve not looked at the tips but after I get some practice in I will. I like to try it out first and figure out my own moves...then realize I can never do it any better than the tips and I give in :)

Aw yeah, this one has always been a favorite of mine. Doesn't mean I'm pro at it though!

103040

I've never played this one but after a couple quick goes it does seem like my type of game! Will def put some time into this one in the near future.

Welcome to our GameEx Hi-Score competition TIF !!

...oh my...you are serious competition for our top hi-score players. I already knew you from RU and you're one hell of an arcade / console player and that's already been proved by this amazing Juno First Hi-Score :o !! Great job. One small thing I noticed > your Juno First Hi-score at RU is 231,860 (April 2013). You've trippled your hi-score with this submission ! Did you never bother to play this game anymore at RU ?

Of course you're more than welcome. I hope you don't mind but I want to make you aware we're running a friendly competition. I hope you won't crush each and every single hi-score by using hit and run tactics by submitting only once per game and not actually play in our competition. I'm not saying you will ;) but for the sake of our competition I felt the need to tell you this. If you're simply better than that's ok of course but I just hope you won't simply hit and run...that's all. Other than that, it's great to have you aboard :)

I've sent you a PM with some additional info about our hi-score competition.
