I remember once getting through almost all levels in one night, and that was on my first time ever seeing death mode. In most cases I wouldn't worry about being too careful - luck will ultimately decide whether you win or lose. Your use of stickyball makes a difference. Hard to give general tips - it would be much easier if someone asked me about a specific level. what is stickyball ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mekktor Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I was thinking of playing this game on Vita but reading this thread makes me think that might be a mistake. Is the Vita a viable option for death mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Vita a viable option for death mode? I think it is. I switched between the vita and PS4. I found the change of controller sometimes helped me when I was in a poor streak. What I found helped a lot is more psychological, but put a sticky note over the timer on your screen. I found myself rushing because my time was going down and then I would keep dying. I also recommend turning off the awful audio and listing to something with a strong and fairly fast beat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkrobot_pb Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I only have 1 remaining now: Galaxanoids. I played it for 2 hours on my Vita this morning (I love my lazy Saturdays!) but could not get a break. I am getting pretty good at navigating the level, even using some advanced tricks with air control to get to hard to reach notes quicker, but it has not helped me so far. I got very close a couple of times, but then ugly spawns sending me back and forth between the cogs ruined it at the end. I will try some more on my PS4 now, pretty sure I will get it soon. (Hopefully the random number generating function on PS4 is a little kinder to me than the Vita one.) Then I will cross sync it and delete the game from all my systems for it never to return.

DysectorZA Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Just finished Galaxanoids with 1 second remaining. This is purely down to the spawn points. ? Last two I need are both Event Horizon's. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkrobot_pb Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 It's done! I had 0.3 seconds left on Galaxanoids and only made it on that attempt because the final 7 or 8 notes spawned near me. Good luck with the Event Horizons! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a few posts from other people saying how they hated Touch The People, so I thought to give that a go first. Switched the sound off and held down R1 constantly and after about 15 minutes it was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DysectorZA Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ??? On Event Horizon 1 I had to cover the timer with something, as I would get careless when the timer would countdown. And on Event Horizon 2, I had to switch the sound on so that I could listen to the beat, and know exactly when to jump.

Yeah, you won't succeed the first time, but come one, just a bit of practice and its fine. This game basically boils down to 1% skill, 99% luck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still you also need some skill, but you'll get it after playing the levels for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold down any button, and it becomes black and unsticky. It's more dangerous, but faster and you can make further jumps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxerJack Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 From helping so many people I can do all the death mode levels in around an hour. If if anyone needs help, just add me Boxerjack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A game that has some slightly difficult levels but that you can easily plat in less than a day is still way better than any game that requires 1000 hours of farming, or a game that you can free-plat in less than 5 minutes...

Winds-of-Neptune Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) On 10/12/2018 at 8:30 AM, DysectorZA said: This is all mainly down to luck. Back in 2015 was the last time I played this and I only managed to get 1 of the Death Modes and I think it was by accident. This past week, I was determined and I have now managed to get all except 4 of the Death Modes. On top of it, I played all of the Death Modes with the sound off. So that's my tip for people struggling with Death Mode....Play with the sound off. It helped me a lot. The last 4 Death Modes I am really struggling with are :- Event Horizon #1 - I keep getting killed by those X lasers. I just can't seem to get around them. And if I play it safe, then the time runs out. Event Horizon #2 - This one I can't wrap my head around, don't know if I am too slow or just not doing it right. 38 notes in 20 seconds? Am I missing something? That's nearly 2 notes per second. This seems more of a timing and luck thing. Galaxanoids - This one I am definitely going to keep trying. I nearly got it last night after an hour, I was 1 note away before time ran out or I panicked and I played dumb and got killed. This is purely down to luck on where the notes spawn. This one I'll definitely get with a little more time. Break-a-noids - This one is purely luck based, as this is very random and you basically have virtually no control over the ball. You're bouncing randomly and you've got two things from opposite sides shooting fireballs at you. This one is going to kill me! Anyone got any tips or tricks that they can share for the above 4 Death Modes? Thanks. Break a Noids you CAN control the ball. When I first started the level I was confused cause I thought I was controlling the paddle thingy but it was the ball.. I found it easier to play as the little ball (hold square or r1). Once you get the pattern to evade the fireballs, your skill will kick in. This level is quite luck based. For Galaxanoids just keep playing it and you will learn the patterns and optimize your speed. Eventually you will get your sweet note spawns. Be confident and realize as you keep playing you will beat it. This level is 70% luck,, Edited October 30, 2018 by Paradigmatica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing on different consoles with different controls also helped a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
