    My quest for 2222 Clones

    So I had a bit of an epiphany today after banging my head against a wall trying to complete some of the DAY II - NIGHT levels. I've only been playing BADLAND for just over 5 weeks and have been trying to nail home runs in the major league, without having spent much of any time learning crucial in and outs of the game from little league and up. No wonder I was starting to get frustrated :lol:

    So my plan is to go right back to basics and play BADLAND from scratch and spend some time learning how to navigate through all of the levels properly to achieve a target goal of 2222 Clones Saved. That's an obviously 'attractive' number to aim for, but there were some calculations involved in me coming up with that figure. :D

    First and foremost was that I wanted to set myself an achievable goal and so I spent a bit of time looking through the SAVE THE CLONES Spreadsheet. There's no way I'll ever get to ogster and Matt33 levels (+2550) and I know grandmort and Wheat1328 are no slouches either (+2350), so I went for a loose average of 2 clones below their scores saved per level and then rounded it up a bit for the banging number.

    As I said I'll be going right back to basics and playing through the BADLAND levels sequentially and will only move on to the next level when my target Clone saves have been achieved for that level.

    No doubt I'll bug you guys for some tips as I work my way through and at the very least it should help to flesh out the many empty level threads we've got going here.

    Might I suggest meeting your goal on a per "time-of-day" basis? i.e. Getting within X number of clones on Day 1 dawn, Day 1 noon, Day 1 dusk, etc. That was you allow yourself some more wiggle room. Like how you somehow managed to get 23 of those bouncy buggers I don't know. :lol: So for day 2 night you already have a "head start". At least on that one.

    That's how I try and keep up with grandmort anyway. Some levels I'm just not going to match so looking at it that way works better for me.

    Yep I'll definitely be doing that, although I set my targets quite carefully so that hopefully I can avoid having to do that as much as possible.

    So far so good! :mrgreen:
    Heading into DAY - I DUSK now with a spare clone in my pocket.

    A lot of frustrating moments, but I managed to get all of DAY-I DUSK finished off in green and am going into DAY-I NIGHT with 10 spare clones. I think I'm going to need them! :lol:

    Nice job!! You're coming along very well! Looks like your going to come close to 1000 when you're done. If you can pull off 1000 on Day 1 that's really really good.

    My one suggestion so far would be to try CLONECHIPPER again. Watch my everyplay vid (as I'm sure you did). The critical parts are getting the slow down powerup, and right after the slow down time powerups getting the clones back up into the air right after the first few hit then go through the saws. I can get 58-60 no problem that way. Having a hard time improving on what I currently have though.

    If I ever go chasing the 2,500 clones I'll definitely have to spend some more time there but ATM I'm happy enough with my 61 clones for CLONECHIPPER! :D

    Just noticed that my recent efforts have pushed me into the top 100 (#79) on Game Center for TOTAL CLONES SAVED and if I can reach my target I'll be in the top 20! :mrgreen:

    Oh, I must have looked at the sheet before you updated it. When I looked it was only 50. 61 is really good!!

    And that's a wrap for the time being for DAY I Clone Saving!

    Nice! On you next pass through you should be able to get to 1000!
