Here are the results of a few weeks work on improving my Dig Dug scoring in early rounds...

Here's the last batch of rounds up through 31 before the repeating cycle of 4 begins.. Averaging around 557-559k now by the end of round 31 without major dirt munching other than rounds 1-3. Give them a try! (rev 1/2 medium difficulty).


Happy Gaming!

Your solution to 23/27/31 is great. I've tried going up and over like that but never thought to keep digging and trap that guy in the middle. Very impressed over here.

A modified version of this works from round 207 to 247 or so too....you only dig down to the rock for those. Too bad it doesn't work from 32+ up to that point....but my next project is to see if I can come up with anything new for the repeating rounds 32+ up to the slowdown at 136.

I will be posting more vids in the near future including my slow board patterns. I figure it's a good way to dust off the cobwebs on the way to my first kill screen.
