Telltale Games

insane_ostrich · 11/19/2008, 02:43 pm

I'm stuck at the scene where "Dangeresque" has to travel to the "sun" in a rocket. I have absolutely no idea how to play the rocket minigame or even what the controls are. Could someone tell me what the controls are and how the game works?

poohead900 · 11/19/2008, 02:51 pm

Easy enough:

On second thought, here
http://hrwiki.org/index.php/Space_Circus_Catastrophe

I was going to write about controls, but I dunno if you got a Wii or PC. Either way, your controls are listed there.

Shoot Clowns with missiles, Save circus performers with bubbles, and move out of the way of food that comes your way. (If a peanut comes from the left side of the screeen, you'd dodge right)

Thanks!

What you missed was that sitting at the opening screen for a few seconds automatically brings up a page showing the controls.

Yeah, that too, heh.

I was kind of annoyed how it doesn't let you start at Pluto and made that section so easy. But I suppose it is pretty cool to be able to use your SCC skills in the story.

Just for the record, space circus catastrophe is the worst of the minigames so far. I don't know if its just me, but my controls are really laggy, I have to mash on the arrow keys quick just so that the control registers to move out of the way. And sometime's I will be waiting almost 30 seconds for something to appear on screen. Maybe I'm just pissed because once I get to about 12,000 all the food shows up right in my face and I can't get out of the way, and just suck at this game.

I'm shutting this piece down and playing some Hot Bablien Odyssey. (Which they really should port to a standalone). Or maybe ET for the 2600, its just about as good as this thing.

100% aint worth the trouble.

Holyxion · 11/20/2008, 12:29 pm

Are you playing on the Wii or the PC? I'm playing on the PC it's great, I haven't had any of those problems and can easily get 20k+.

poohead900 · 11/20/2008, 01:34 pm

PC.....

showoff.

Weeblerjake · 11/20/2008, 02:14 pm

Yeah.... I can get 2 thousand easily. Just try harder.

Holyxion · 11/20/2008, 03:28 pm

Maybe it's a computer thing then, I mean, if you're runnin' Windows 95 and got 20 windows open it's gonna take a little while for stuff to come at you and controls to be sent in, but I got no idea why the Carnival Food is coming at you faster than normal.

poohead900 · 11/20/2008, 04:30 pm

I don't think its glitchy or anything, I just think I suck and aren't pushing my arrow keys hard enough.

The food doesn't start at a closer range for you as you get up in the levels? Sometimes even the clowns or performers will start out covering just about the whole screen. I figured it was a difficulty thing. But when the food does it, it *expletive deleted* pisses me off, there's no way to get out of the way.

Current status: made it to the Black Hole (with 19550 pts)

I can't say I'm having the problems poohead900 is having. I've had maybe one or two controls fail to register in the entire time I've played it, and I've never gone more than a couple of seconds without seeing *something*.

poohead900 · 11/20/2008, 09:39 pm

Ok, the 30 seconds was an exaggeration. But its still can wait quite a while before I see something.
Another thing I've noticed, if the circus performers spawn close and I shoot, and get hit anyways, I'll lose a shield and the +100 will show up after the game resumes.

Just one more thing that makes me hate this game just a little bit more. Every time its "THAT GOT HIM! STUPID*multiple expletives deleted* GAME"

Felmarg · 11/21/2008, 03:37 am

This mini-game is realy easy... I got 14000+ points at the first try (2 black hole). But it's still realy fun

.

Holyxion · 11/21/2008, 12:11 pm

Y'now if you have to smash in the keys to get it to work it can sill be a hardware thing. What kind of key board are you using?

You're describing some very strange behaviors. On mine, they always spawn far away and come closer. They never "spawn close". They approach faster as the game proceeds, but they always start far off.

Holyxion · 11/22/2008, 09:08 am

Same here, but I have seen instances of getting hit and getting the points.

Canard · 11/23/2008, 06:19 am

People have posted that they've reached the Black Hole - I'm assuming that's the stage after the Sun? I only reached Mercury (score of 16,000) before I died and I really wasn't all that bothered to go back to Pluto and play it all again to find out what came next.
