Doc is right. Height is the most reliable multiplier to increase. The band gives you more height per upgrade than the launcher does. You need to get the E-Rocket as soon as you can. The height multiplier is the easiest to increase, so focus on that first. Putting a couple ranks in the rocket pack categories doesn't hurt, but isn't necessary. The parachute, radar, and goggles are worthless. It takes TEN WHOLE SECONDS to add a +1 multiplier for time, so don't waste yours.
On top of that, watch the economics of the game. It's FAR better to buy two levels of advancement than to buy one. If you can avoid it, never buy just one square of upgrades. If you can purchase two levels of upgrade, click ONLY on the highest one you can afford, or you have to pay BOTH. If you just click the highest, you only pay that price. There are some other economic patterns, too, but I'll let you figure those out.
Lots of luck involved, but some good choices help. Make sure you try to do two things if you can. Don't buy just one level of an upgrade if two or more are affordable. The economics are FUBAR. If you buy the higher upgrade, you *SKIP* paying the lower one! The second thing to do: upgrade your band and launcher until you can afford the rocket boosters. The other upgrades are almost pointless. Height gets you the best multipliers, so get high fast! I've done it in 3 days. Most of the time, 5-10. Almost never more than 10 days.
Enh. This game, I could take or leave. There is no real sense of advancement and I'm not much into twitch games, which this quickly becomes. There isn't much strategy, or skill involved, but it's an interesting concept. I think a LOT more could have been done with this.
Info for beginners:
Coins
Copper - 0.25
Silver - 1.00
Gold - 5.00
Platforms
Blue - 1.00
Green - 5.00
Gold - 10.00
Try for platforms if you can. Blues give you a SMALL boost, greens a bit more, and golds blast you off!
Good game, cannot get under 9 days. I'm just not lucky enough, I guess.
