Chia Bomber 2

Introduction

Chia Bombers have invaded Geoffrey Chia's neighborhood and are attacking him and his friends with their nasty mud-slinging bazookas! Geoffrey has set out with his homemade water-balloon gun in an effort to drive them out of town!

Controls & Instructions

You control Geoffrey's movement with the arrow keys and you shoot his water-balloon gun with the spacebar. Press the M key to drop a mine (up to 5 per levels). Your own mines can't hurt you but be careful not to walk on Chia bombers' mines!

The idea of the game is to kill all the Chias that appear in each level. Some Chias are easier to get rid of than others. Color will tell you how tough a bomber will be to take out:
Green - take only one hit and just wander around.
Blue - takes only two hits and has a slightly better sense of direction.
Yellow - takes three hits to kill and if not seen can easily kill you.
Red - takes four hits and will begin to follow you around.
Black - takes a whopping five hits to kill and will aggressively try to kill you!

There are no bonuses in this game, so there's a set amount of points you can earn per level. They are as follows:

Level 1 - all green chias (80 pts)
Level 2 - seven green, one blue (80 pts)
Level 3 - six green, two blue (80 pts)
Level 4 - five green, two blue, one yellow (80 pts)
Level 5 - four green, two blue, two yellow (80 pts)
Level 6 - three green, two blue, two yellow, one red (80 pts)
Level 7 - two green, two blue, two yellow, two red (80 pts)
Level 8 - one green, two blue, two yellow, two red, one black (80 pts)
Level 9 - two blue, two yellow, two red, two black (80 pts)
Level 10 - two blue, two yellow, two red, two black (80 pts)
Level 11 - three yellow, three red, three black (90 pts)
Level 12 - five red, five black (100 pts)

Tips & Strategies

There are two main strategies with this game: the "Better Safe Than Sorry" strategy and the "Gonna Make Those Bombers Sorry" method. Both have merit, so it's up to you to decide which best fits your play-style.

• Safe Strategy
  This strategy requires a lot of patience. It may not work in the earlier levels (or will just go really slowly), but in the later levels it can be bulletproof. The idea is to stay in one corner, preferably the corner you start in, and set up mines all around you. You'll only have to fire in two directions, and any Chias that get too close will blow up on the mines.
• Kill 'em Quick Strategy
  If you can't stay in the same spot for more than five seconds, then a more aggressive strategy may be appealing to you. The only real strategy involved in this is moving fast and shooting faster as you chase down those nasty Chia bombers. Be sure not to get too close to higher-level bombers as it will take numerous shots to kill them, and to keep an eye out for Chias sneaking up behind you!

Cheats

Typing "geoffrey" at any point in the game will give you an extra life.

While you are at the main screen in the beginning, if you hold down the right arrow and press 'Start', then you will start in the upper left corner and can immediately begin firing at the Chia bombers to the right. You can get the same result in between levels by ending the level in the top row and holding down the right and space keys.

Conclusion

You need 1300 points for the avatar, so it may take lots of practice, but keep trying! Practice makes perfect. Good luck!
