Hello, and welcome to my guide for micro olympics. This guide will help you to beat the 7 pilots, although you will have to develop your own tactics if you want to get in the high scores. You may need to practise a little to get good angle/power. Don’t worry about spending too much early as most things pay for themselves easily. Early on you want to get powerups, then Gunpowder, the Creativity. Powerups and Gunpowder last for one level. You will be able to use them on all three jumps in that level, but will always have to re-buy them next level. In later levels your distance will vary greatly depending on your exact timing and angle/power. In the early levels, if you have much more money than the conservative estimates in the guide, feel free to spend it, and look at later levels to see how to use it.

Powerups

Creativity-2 levels-Gives you bonus distance on each jump. Stays forever, so you don’t have to repurchase.

Gunpowder-3 levels-Increases power when you are shot out of the cannon at the start.

Soda Thrust-3 copies-Gives you a boost up. Use just after a bounce to give you most height. Use a Ski afterwards to get most extra distance.

Skis-3 copies-Bounces you up in the air from the water, gives you more up movement than forward. Use after falling from high up(i.e. after Soda Thrust).

Call Freaky-3 copies-Bounces you up from the water, and makes an annoying noise. Gives you more forward than up movement. Use when going fast and low, such as at the start.

Medals

Flight Apprentice (Bronze)Medal-Fly over 600m. Will get you a badge and 5 Kongregate points.

Sky Explorer (Silver)Medal-Fly over 3000m.

Aerial Master (Gold)Medal/Badge-Fly over 7000m. Will get you a badge and 30 Kongregate points.

Pilot 1-”Workaholic”-Average 100m

Items:None

Strategy: Simple, just aim at 45^o and hit as much power as you can. You will easily beat his score, and, if done well, get scores of between 200 and 250m.

Target Cash:$65, but you can easily get more.

Pilot 2-”Astro”-Average 200m

Items:1 Freaky

Strategy:Start a bit lower, and use the freaky to get more distance. You will easily beat his score, and get good amounts of cash. You should get between 450m and 550m.

Target Cash: at least $110

Pilot 3-”Mr. Happy”-Average 600m

Items:1 Freaky, 1 Thruster

Strategy:Use the same kinds of angles, and use the freaky on the first bounce, and the thruster immediatly afterwards. You should get 700+m and the first medal.

Target Cash: at least $165.

Pilot 4-”Mr. Wright”-Average 1200m

Items:1 Freaky, 1 Ski, 1 Thruster .Extra cash should go to thrusters

Strategy:Use the same strategy, but with a ski after the thruster. If you got 2 thrusters, use it straight after the first.

Target Cash: try for $365

Pilot 5-”Froggy”-Average 2400m

Items:1 Freaky, 3 Skis, 3 thrusters Extra cash should go to Freakys

Strategy:Fire with as much power as possible, then use 1 freaky. Then use all three thrusters to get as much height as possible. Use the Skis on the next 3 bounces, and then any remaining freakys. You should get the silver medal.

Target Cash: $800+

Pilot 6-”Mad Dog”-Average 5000m

Items:By now, you may well be able to buy everything. If not, prioritise powerups, then gunpowder, then creativity.

Strategy:Same as previous. Your distance will improve because of extra power and creativity bonuses. You should get 6000+m and medal.

Target Cash:Enough to buy everything on the next level. Won’t be too hard.

Pilot 7-”Sky Devil”-Average 6000m

Items:All

Strategy:Same again. Should be easy. Just try and get your best possible score.

Target Cash:Doesn’t matter, there aren’t any more levels

There we have it. You should now have beaten the game, and have a nifty 35 points in the bank. :D For more strategies, and a video of the final level using a similar style head to here

Microsheep for creating the game

Phatcat for his guide request thread

Maxuja for some info that I missed

/Bump, It’s finished.

Pilot 6 is : “Mad Dog” and he do between 4800 and 5200m

Perfect guide. Gets you the badges in no time.

Check out the other thread for a video demo of what he describes :)

Wow. This guide is really helpful!

Thanks guys. :) Specially Maxuja, thanks for the info.

Yup, gotta say that this is a great guide! It got me both badges without any problem whatsoever. Nice detailed description of how to do it. A job well done, mrhthepie. :)

Super guide. Wow, that was fun…

Awesome guide, did it first time with this. On the last round, just get the distance required, then bail the last two if you cant be bothered to do them.

• Interesting, I’m going to try this guide. Cheers.

brilliant guide really detailed isailed throught it witht his

Worked! Thanks alot.

for elvel one and level two you don’t neccesarily need to invest int a thruster purchasing the thruster will set you back about the same amount as not getting the extra difference for the income. also it should be noted using freaky after any long distance fall will significantly lower your speed always.

I have also found that: Using boosters are great for gaining extra height as you are on you way up but if you use it as going down it will only hinder you.]

Freaky s are great for getting you back into the air but they will only boost you up so high if you botched your shot at a weird angle a freaky may save by sending you back into the air but remember your gonna need to have a booster to get you the height you need.

foolowing this guide and modifying it to my liking ;) I was able to reach 7968 on my first jump during the mad dog level…...Mad dogs farthest was 4988…...one word…..PWNED….OWNED

EDIT: I mean 8468!

I don’t know why, but for some reason I just can’t get this to work once I hit Pilot 5….

EDIT – NVM, I figured out what I was doing wrong.. Thanks for the guide it worked well once I figured out how to do it properly!

Thank you for this; it is becoming very useful. _~~

Good guide. Made it easy to beat the game.

wow i always got stuck at piolet 4 but thanks to the guide i beat it. good guide!!! make more forother badges

Good guide.

I’d personally recommend buying the creativity upgrade ASAP, as it will extend ALL your future jumps by 200m or something.

editundo, I personally don’t think it’s really worth the price, when early on power ups will get you much more cash. However in the later game when you can buy everything it helps to extend your high score by 200m, which isn’t really that much compared to totals of ~9000m.

Lol how the hell do others get to 96k(96000)?Well very good guide.Helped me alot!Nice work!

Hunter999: Hackers and Bug exploiters I’m afraid. Spoils it for the rest of us.

To everyone else:Thanks, hope you found this helpful.

Very well done, very helpfull!!

The longest distance you can possibly go without hacks (Why would anyone hack on this anyway? No lives I guess.)is between 9,000 meters and 10,000 meters. I nailed it at 9218 meters :). Another way to own this is to buy Thrust instead of Freaky for Astro, so it saves money for creativity bonuses. On Froggy, Buy 3 Freakys 3 Thrusts 3 Skis and as many Creativity Bonuses as possible and use in the order of Freaky-Thrust-Thrust-Thrust-Ski-Ski-Ski-Freaky-Freaky + 500 or 250 Meters. Use the same strategy for Mad Dog and Sky Devil, just buy max gunpowder to get more distance.

Awesome, got the hard badge with this guide on the first try.

Now I never have to play this game again.
