Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Road Runner Arcade 24 Levels (4,152,960)
====Partial description====
See in the comments for the full description because I am limited to 5000 characters here.
The game consists of 4 different repeating levels. I call Round a group of 4 levels.
-You can get a maximum of 5 additional lives (depending on a parameter which can be 3, 5, 8 or 10)
-With the normal setting (named: "Increasing from 20000" in the settings screen), you get a life at:
20,000 50,000 100,000 180,000, 280,000
-After that, from 380,000 you get 20,000 bonus points for every 120,000 points
380,000 500,000 620,000 740,000 860,000 980,000 1,100,000 1,220,000...
-The first birdseed is worth 100 points. Each further one is then incremented by 100 up to 1,000. The points reset to 100 if you miss one seed.
==Bird seed with steel shot==
-You can skip them, they don't count as normal seeds.
-But when you eat them, the coyote uses its magnet to slow you down. You have to keep this in mind in later levels when the coyote runs faster. I had a bit of a hard time with this at 29:34
-In this TAS, I ate them all because they give you the same points as normal seeds.
-Lemonades start at 1000 points, increase by 1000 when you drink it, but reset to 1000 when the coyote drinks it.
-The maximum is 9000 as shown at level 14 where the TAS drinks 7 consecutive lemonades for 9000 points each. (starting at 13:13) I was lucky enough to have invisible paint.
-The more points you get for a lemonade, the longer it takes to drink it. You need to remember this in your game strategy. I missed 2 lemonades at level 18, I couldn't drink them without the springing coyote grabbing me. I should have reset the value of lemonades before doing this level.
-The coyote earns you points if you lure him to a mine. Points range from 200 to 1600.
-I think the points are proportional to the distance between the player and the coyote at that moment. If you have another explanation let me know.
-I think it's the same if you lure him in front of a truck.
-Add to this the bonus points for killing the coyote at the end of the level.
==End of level bonuses==
-You get points for getting all the seeds on the level (not counting the Bird seed with steel shot)
-This bonus start at 10,000 and increase by 5000 each level, but reset each round to 10,000 + (round-1 * 5000)
-so you get:
10000, 15000, 20000, 25000 for levels 1 to 4
15000, 20000, 25000, 30000 for levels 5 to 8
20000, 25000, 30000, 35000 for levels 9 to 12
25000, 30000, 35000, 40000 for levels 13 to 16
30000, 35000, 40000, 45000 for levels 17 to 20
35000, 40000, 45000, 50000 for levels 21 to 24
-I don't know if it continues to increase above 50,000 points.
-You get 500 points for each Coyote killed in the level
-But, as we can see at level 21, the maximum is 99 coyotes
-You get 500 points for each time you jump over a mine
-But, as we can see at level 21, the maximum is 99 mines
-You get 10000 points if you didn't miss any lemonades
-I thought you got a few points just for running, but you don't. You get points just by being near the coyote.
-As seen at 27:25, you don't even have to run, just being near the coyote gives you up to 10 points per frame (600 points per second)
-And you can get 2000 points by running in front of the coyote for a few seconds (4-5 seconds?), as shown at 6:51.
-It seems that seed hitboxes are bigger than mine hitboxes. So when a seed is near a mine, one way to get the seed is to just run under them, the seed will be collected and the mine will not explode. (14:22)
-It is not possible to stay in one place for a long time, nor to run in a circle for a long time. After a few seconds, the playing field begins to scroll by itself and you find yourself at the far right of the screen.
Eventually you have to move because of the coyote chasing you and as soon as you go left the playing field also scrolls and won't let you go back.
To stop auto-scrolling, you need to move left past the middle of the screen as shown here: 18:00.
I think the auto scroll starts after 5 seconds of the player not moving. There are sections that do not have this automatic scrolling, for example the rocket section (at 19:21 I stay still for about 11 seconds)
