Some tips . . .
posted by Susaine 432 days ago.

I have gotten to level 102. By level 80 or so, each piece of track is worth at least 4,000 points. Those really add up. It's very possible to score 300,000 points per level.

Here's some tips for those of you having trouble scoring in the millions:

1. Levels 1-50 -- make sure you press the Fast Forward button. Each tile will then be worth a lot more (double in some cases).

2. Levels 51-??? -- do NOT press Fast Forward. For some reason, pressing Fast Forward at these higher levels actualy decreases the point level of each piece of track.

3. Keep in mind that you can build track even when the train is going, and you can change the direction of a piece of track after the train has passed over it. So if you get to the point where you think the train is going to crash, try to loop it around again and approach the exit from another angle.

4. This is probably self-explanatory, but on the lower levels, try to build the track through as many passenger stations and bonus point pieces as you can, even if you have to loop the train around a couple of times to do it or change the direction of some pieces of track the train has already gone over. This is risky because you could run out of gas and lose a life, so you have to be careful. Try to run the train over a piece of track with a gas fill-up if you see you're running out.

5. As you get to the higher levels, just try to get the track running from the entrance to the exit as quickly as possible. Then, if you have time, you can play with the tiles on either side of the track to see if there's a way to loop them around through bonus tiles or passenger stations. If so, then you can change the direction of the tiles to do this. If not, then you can leave the track where it is and you won't lose a life.

6. After you get a few pieces of tile at the entrance finished to buy some time, then work backwards for a few pieces by building the from the exit, and try to get the track to meet somewhere in the middle of the grid. If you're not paying attention to how the train needs to be positioned to exit, you can box yourself in, and this strategy really helps prevent that.

After that, it's luck, practice and a little skill. The last three times I've played this game, I've gotten above 8 million points, so it's very doable. I'm not cheating, and since I've come very close to the top score, I doubt that Mikey79 is either.

Hopefully these tips will help you. Good gaming!!!!

this is allright

Before anyone accuses me of being a hacker, I just wanted to let you know that I've spent the past 3 hours playing this game! My keester is sore. :o) The further up you get, the more points you get for going over each piece of track -- I saw 5,000 points for each piece of track after level 50!! The points definitely add up.

I see no-one has.....

...taken up the challenge of videoing a 3m plus score.

No surprise there, then.

I got to level 18 on my last go; I think the farthest I have achieved is level 20.

If the top score of 9m+ is to be believed, at level 20, then that means an average of £480k per level.

Allowing that the most I've ever scored on level one is 4.125, this means that the highest score on level 20 must be in the region of 960k.

Not believable, in my view.

Feel free to argue that there isn't cheating going on, but I'll love to hear HOW these scores are being achieved.

As with Playaholics, I no longer compete against these mega high scores - I compete on my favourite games to try and get a personal best - and no more.

10 Million.. Really... If you are going to hack at least go off other people's scores and its hardly ever going to be a perfect round figure... If your going to hack.. do it properly at least...

ask CANOPUS for tips, train driving is probably his job?

Hackers

Not me clams, some of us work with fizzy to keep hackers out. If you see someone doing it report it to Gabriel by clicking on support, but make sure you know what you are talking about. I have lots of points because I have been here along time...since the beginning of the site..just like freheit and clives..none of us are hackers...and dont believe in it.

i agree that scores of 9000000 plus seem impossile however i do also believe with the increase in score per level and a bit of luck it could be done. i ask the mods to decide if they believe it is a true score or not and to remove it if they think it was acheived through cheating
