X2: Playing the game
===============================================================================
The object of the game is to kill as much stuff as you can before you lose all
your lives. It starts out easy, but it gets VERY VERY VEEEERY hard! The control
scheme is simple and easy to remember.
D-Pad Up..........Move Up
D-Pad Down........Move Down
D-Pad Left........Move Left
D-Pad Right.......Move Right
"A" Button........Fire Bomb
"B" Button:.......Fire Lasers
Select Button:....Nothing
Start Button:.....Pause the Game
If you get hit by anything in this game, you die. No shields, no armor, no HP.
One hit = You die. The same goes for the enemies but there are thousands of
them and only one of you. So get what you can while the getting is good because
only the best players will last more than five minutes on the higher levels.
===============================================================================
X3: Walkthrough
===============================================================================
Here you will find the walkthrough for the Single Player mode of the game.
***********************
Level 1:
***********************
Level one difficulty: Low
Level one enemies: Diskin
Ro-bit
Tent
Bunker
Generator
This level is fairly simple, and none of the enemies pose a real threat to you.
Bombs will take out the Tents, the Bunkers, and the Generators. The Diskin and
Ro-bits will fall to your twin lasers. The Diskin do not actively attack you,
but instead enter the screen, travel a ways, and veer to one side. Make sure
they don't veer into you! You will be nearing the end of the level when you see
the three generators in a row in the middle of the screen. Take them out with
bombs for a nice 1200 points and move on.
***********************
Level 2
***********************
Level two difficulty: Low
Level two enemies: Diskin
Ro-bit
Tent
Bunker
Robo-Bunker
Heavy-Bunker
This level is much like Level 1, only there are a lot more Bunker and ground
type enemies, less Diskins, and you will find Robo-Bunkers and large Bunkers
in the level. Keep your Lasers firing non-stop, watch out for crossfire from
bunkers on opposing sides, and watch the groups of Robo-bunkers. They can be
very deadly, if you get careless. You will note the very end of the level if
you find the large Bunker. After you kill that and pass on, it's Level 3!
***********************
Level 3:
***********************
Level three difficulty: Med
Level three enemies: Plate.
Beware the Plates here. They are invincible and deadly. Not even your bombs can
dent them, so don't even try. This level basically throws you against a mess of
plates that you have to dodge. Just do so until the large tent. Blow the tent
with a bomb and move on.
***********************
Level 4
***********************
Level four difficulty: Med
Level four enemies: Diskin
Ro-Bit
Tent
Bunker
Generator
Robo-Bunker
Diskin II
Plate
Blackin
Main Enemy Base
The Diskin 2s here are the same as the Diskin, but they are a teeny bit faster
and give a few more points. All Diskin enemies can be a Diskin (Common) or a
Diskin II. (Rare) It doesn't really matter. Shoot them all the same.
Here, you will face off against all the enemies that you have before, only in
greater numbers. At the end you will find the Main Enemy Base! This base shoots
many many lasers at you and is surrounded by many blackins that constantly
respawn. Hit the base with a couple bombs in the center to take it out. Much
easier said than done.
***********************
Level 5
***********************
Level five difficulty: Med
Level five enemies: Diskin
Ro-Bit
Tent
Bunker
Generator
Robo-Bunker
Diskin II
Plate
Turret
Ferry
Okay, the level will open with a one time rush of Plates (If you die, they
won't be there anymore) and after that a surge of Diskins. After the diskin you
will find a Turret which is very dangerous. Take it out with a bomb as it
enters the screen. Continue on and you will come to an Ocean with boats, and
Turrets, along with all the other enemies you have faced. When you come to the
Air Base with the Robo-Bunkers, you will have reached the end of the level.
***********************
Level 6
***********************
Level Six difficulty: Hard
Level Six enemies: Diskin
Ro-Bit
Tent
Bunker
Robo-Bunker
Diskin II
Mega-Turret
This is a fairly short, but difficult level, ending just after a mega-turret.
It is basically a turret, times five. Five times the firepower, and only one
of you. Fortunately, you only have to hit the center once to kill it.
***********************
Level 7
***********************
Level Seven difficulty: UBERTASITCAL HARD
Level Seven enemies: Diskin
Diskin II
Ro-bit
Tent
Bunker
Generator
Robo-Bunker
Large Bunker
Plate
Blackin
Turret
Interceptor
Bomber
Mini-turret
Rez-bit
Sawblade
Main Base II
This level is a doozy. It has all your generic enemies, and lots more. And
believe me, there are no shortages of enemies here. First, you will be charged
by Rez-bits at an uber high speed, then you will be assaulted by about three
dozen sawblades. As they are attacking you actively, a Turret will be firing at
you. Make sure you blow up all the Sawblades before you get near the turret if
possible. Don't take the turret out, avoid it. Avoid the bombers that attack
you after and kill them if possible. After this a targeting rectical will come
and lock onto you. shortly after a huge bomb that spews lasers everywhere will
come. All you can do is pray that it explodes on the other side of the screen
and doesn't hit you. After that you will be assaulted by HUNDREDS of Blackins,
all firing, and a Main Base 2. After you take out the base and bass by, you
will be in the next level. You will likely give up the game here, or not ever
make it past without losing all your lives many times.
***********************
Level 8
***********************
Level Eight difficulty: Super Hard
Level Eight enemies: Diskin
Diskin II
Diskin III
Ro-bit
Tent
Bunker
Generator
Robo-Bunker
Large Bunker
Plate
Blackin
Turret
Interceptor
Bomber
Mini-turret
Rez-bit
Sawblade
Main Base II
Mega-Turret
First, you will be assaulted by a random type of enemy. It could be Rez-Bits or
it could be Interceptors. Hope for a good one. After that you will find your
shop over a desert filled with a square of Robo-Bunkers that are expanding and
contracting rhythmically. Either try to avoid them, or bomb them when they are
close together. After them you will be assaulted with three bombs in a row. IF,
and I do stress "if," you survive, you will be greeted by a long empty stretch
of desert and then an airfield type place with some bunkers and tents followed
by some huge tents. After those you will find four, count 'em, four mini
turrets.
--> This is a deadly combination as you have nowhere to go. <-- Your best
bet is to blow up two of them and slip through the gaps in the fire that that
creates. After that you will be assaulted by Bombers and another enemy that is
randomly selected. Soon you will come across a Mega-Turret. Zoom forwards
before it opens fire and launch a bomb at it's center to take it out. Kill the
few enemies and continue. After that you will have a stretch of being attacked
by random enemies of three different types. After that you will come across a
Turret and a Robo-Bunker. Ignore the Robo-Bunker and take out the deadly turret
before it takes you out. You will soon come across another 4 Mini-turrets. This
time, try to take out one, and circle around to the right as slowly as possible
so their lasers go behind you but barely. You should sneak around them. After,
bomb the tents. At the end here you will come across four more Mini-turrets, in
a "stairs" type of formation. Take them out one at a time while strafing to the
right. Directly after that will be a turret. Bomb it out. Now you will come to
a pair of turrets. Take out the one on the left while circling left and back
around right, dodging the fire to bomb the one on the right.
***********************
Level 9
***********************
Level Nine difficulty: Hard
Level Nine enemies: Diskin
Diskin II
Diskin III
Ro-bit
Tent
Bunker
Generator
Robo-Bunker
Large Bunker
Plate
Blackin
Turret
Interceptor
Bomber
Mini-turret
Rez-bit
Sawblade
Mega-Turret
Okay, from the start you will be attacked by many Sawblades, then you will fall
under attack by some Diskin IIIs. After that you will come up on a dock where
there will be five Bunkers and some Diskin IIIs. As the Diskin IIIs are blown
up or leave, Sawblade IIs will come in. Sawblade IIs can exit the side of the
screen and enter at any other point, so stay way from the edges or YOU WILL
DIE! After those are down you will fight your way through a mini-turret and a
hoard of Interceptors, Disken IIIs, and other assorted Enemies. After that
happens you will be met by one second of break, immediately followed by 15
seconds of death. You will be swarmed by hundreds of missiles and Rez-Bits
at high speed while 4 Robo-Bunker IIs fire on you. After you get past that you
will be met by some Diskin IIIs and then some Blackin IIs. These are like your
average everyday blacken except they behave like a mini-bomb, blowing shards
everywhere. If you get past them, by some miracle or another, you will find
the Main Base III. This bad boy is...well...not so bad. It doesn't fire much.
Bomb it once you get past the Blacken IIs. After that you will be met with a
few more Sawblade IIs and some normal Blackens. After that you will be met by
a Turret, four Mini-turrets, A bazillion Missiles, and a lot of death. If you
manage to squeak by, you will face a few Diskin IIs and continue on.
***********************
Level 10
***********************
Level Nine difficulty: It don't get no harder.
Level Nine enemies: All of them.
Okay, here you will immediately be assaulted by countless enemies of all shapes
and sizes. Every type Turrets, Mini-turrets, bunkers, Robo-Bunkers, and hundred
of them also. It is not possible to stay alive without killing at least some to
clear a path in the literal wall of lasers you will be facing. I can't give
you any advice save that you should dodge all you can and don't give up. Take
out key enemies such as turrets, because they throw out a lot more flak than
anything else. You will face many many MANY mini-turrets and at the end there
will be some Mega-Turrets, right after a swarm of about 100 Rez-Bits and
Missiles. After you breach all of that, if you can, the game loops you back to
level seven, with the harder units and slightly more buildings, but the same
level Build. Keep it up until you die of frustration or lose all your lives!
Congratulations! You just got a high score and "beat" the game, as much as you
can "beat" it.
My high score?
415,320. No, I do not have a life, I go to college, work, home, and nothing
else much. Yes, that did take me many many hours and days to get.
Other two coming soon!
