The REAP - Tips & Cheats

WEAPON AND WEAPON-UP MANAGEMENT

The careful management of weapon power levels is crucial to your success. Do not add power to a weapon already at maximum power. This is particularly important when you are reinstated with a new life. Collect the weapons your last body left and select the weapon you wish to boost before you collect the Weapon-Ups. If necessary you can change the selected weapon before collecting further Weapon-Ups.

THE WEAPONS :

ION CANNON2 power levels
BLUE PLASMA3 power levels
ELECTRIC SHOCK3 power levels
ELECTRIC SPLINE3 power levels

SPEED UP - Increases your ship’s overall speed.

WEAPON UP - Adds a power level to the weapon you are currently loading.

MAXIMIZING YOUR SCORE

  • SHOOTING It is recommended to use your fire a lot in order to survive. Some of your ammunition reaches even outside the screen damaging your enemies even before they are visible to you, so you are better off, if you shoot in a non-stop fashion.
  • SPLATTERING SOLDIERS You gain extra points if you shoot the enemy soldiers that fly out of exploded vessels. If you hit the airborne soldiers, you gain “splattered bonus” from each hit soldier.
  • EARNING PICK UPS If you destroy the whole attack wave (for example a set of aeroplanes heading towards you), you can earn useful extra pick ups by destroying every vessel in that particular attack wave.
  • MEMORIZE THE ENEMY ATTACK WAVES In order to maximise your score and chances to gain special pick-ups, it is recommended that you will learn how enemy attack waves (like a group of aeroplanes or submarines) behave and at what point of the game they appear. If you remember where the next attack wave is coming beforehand, you can position yourself in the best possible place in the screen to counteract your enemies.
  • ABDUCTING You can abduct sheep and civilians instead of shooting them. You can gain a special bonus, if you use abduction instead of destruction. You can abduct sheep and civilians simply by flying over the victim you wish to abduct.
  • CHANGING THE ORDER OF LEVELS In each of world (Antarktis, Atlantis, Desert and Industrial) you can change the order in which you play different levels. You can try to experiment with different paths to find out optimal scoring chances.
