Geometry Wars ninjas, I seek guidance

I guess the reason why I'm doing so poorly has much to do with the fact that I can't see the whole screen at once, right? -_-

thanks ! custom soundtrack music autorepeats when you select just 1 song... there'd be like 1 second gap inbetween the end and begnining though

Hey that's pretty good, what'd you use to make that?
 
You're not supposed to see the whole screen at once. The reason why you suck is because it's so damn hard. :(

I have yet to crack 300k myself and rarely do I even hit 250.

Noone can see the whole screen at once, but its balanced for widescreen
 
Hit 643k today. Wasn't online so it won't be in my highscore =(, but I know I can do it again. This game is odd in that it seems you just get better without figuring out why sometimes. I love it though. Probably the most addicting game on x360 right now :lol
 
Can't crack 99k, though I did get pacifism fairly easily. I should play more tonight. Quite fun! Also got a few achievements in Hexic, and quite a few in Kameo last night. :D 2 in PDZ too.
 
I've been banging my head against the wall for a month with 750K as my high, and really only got above 500K a handful of times, then tonight half drunk I figure I'll be a mess but I get over a million and the 9 lives achievement. Alcohol. Is there anything it can't do?
 
i'm at about 500k, and is it me or does the game get fairly stupid at that point? you're just doing laps around the screen and firing forward until you hit something you can't see. :x

i'm not playing anymore unless i end up in last place on my friends list again. damned xbl.
 
I hit 496k. It pained me to no end that I couldn't eke out that extra 4k! That score was a bit of a fluke, though, as I still suck at the game by and large.
 
I'm probably nuts, but I think the game is much much easier in SD than HD. I went from 180k to 450+ on my first try after the change. Less area you have to focus on or something.
 
I fucking hate this game. I can get a score of 960k the first night I downloaded it and now I cant even reach above 800k+. And the fact that the scoreboards are now erased pisses me off even more!
 
Holy shit. I guess it's true. They did reset the leaderboards.

w00t! I'm higher ranked for a short moment!

Dammit, and I had something like 250+ thousand points too.
 
Dammit all, the leaderboards in this game were reset again last night. I noticed I had no high score again. WTF is going on!?
 
I remember reading somewhere (joystiq I think) that people are hacking the scoreboards and posting ridiculously high scores. That is why MS is resetting the scoreboards.

What a bunch of fucking losers.
 
The GW Retro scores weren't erased. I took a long break from GW to play Nintendo DS games, but after over a week off, I came back last night and racked up a quick million plus game, matching my previous high. It feels like the game is slowing down to me. :o Am I entering the Matrix? I would have done better too if Spaz hadn't initiated private chat when my score was around 800,000. ><
 
I know I will get blasted for this, but I actually like Mutant Storm better. Both are fun (even though I suck at both) but there is just more variety in MS, an since its level based, you get a seccond to gather your composure inbetween. I just fnd it more pleasurable overall.
