Title: Satan's Hollow Strategy
Post by: VectorGamer on October 13, 2015, 07:53:02 am

You know I have played this game a lot BITD and now occasionally in MAME. Yet I still don't understand strategy in this game.

When you have the bridge built is it to your advantage to immediately face the pitchfork throwing devil?

I've been putting it off until I get to a stage where there are a ton of bad guys bombing the crap out of me at which time I go across the bridge to escape. Then when I kill the devil I get a boatload of points.

 I would recommend checking out the skycrushers channel, he was grinding out some massive games around the time of Ko3.  www.Twitch.tv/syscrusher (http://www.Twitch.tv/syscrusher) I'd imagine there's some highlights. From what I remember Ben would basically cross the bridge almost instantly.

Hey VectorGamer, it's definitely best the build the bridge as quickly as possible, but you also need to know when to cross.  Here's (http://www.twitch.tv/syscrusher/c/3232247) a video of my PB from a couple years ago.  You can also get the MAME inp at MARP.  Take a look and I'd be happy to discuss strategies.
