Parachute High Scores
Whats your high score in Parachute? My top is 276, but I did read about someone getting 1001 (http://www.ipodlounge.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=2046).
Is it true that the game ends at 1000? Is it even possible to get that far?
Parachute is my favorite game on my iPod. Solitaire had a naff ending (We have a Winner!), and Brick has no staying power with me.

I've gotten into the 400's with a "real" game, but sometimes I've found that after you play too long the helicopters stop dropping little men so you can just rack up points for free.
# 2 Re: Parachute High Scores
135
# 3 Re: Parachute High Scores
me too...i got up to 1000 by just constantly shooting in the middle....then the game just stops...no more helicopters and my 'gun' was still there...funny...
(must they put restrictions on everything? first the volume restriction then this...ha ha....just kiddin...)

i've gotten into the 500's before (too much time on my hands)...but i still don't know the actual number of men landing that will end the game...i've had 3 men land once (after i had gotten to about 400) and had the game end.....

I don't understand the game... I know that your supposed to shoot the helicopters, and the guys, but I dont know how i get points... mine always go up, and then come back down...
Can someone explain the rules? Then I might actually play the game sometime ;)

for every helicopter/jumper you hit, you get 2 points (i believe, it might be 3), but for every bullet you shoot, you lose a point....the key is to hit 1 helicopter so that it hits another, which may hit one of the jumpers...you can hit 1 helicopter and have it develop into 6-10 pionts, pending how many other's you take out....

Bush will deploy 100 more cannons, and declare war on them. Meanwhile, your country's economy will flounder in a near-recession because your budget surplus has become a budget deficit and tax breaks are lining the pockets of the rich. At the same time, oil executives take over environmental regulatory agencies and proceed to dismantle every environmental protection we have managed to enact in the last 30 years. And if you try to stand up against this madness, you will be proclaimed a terrorist and detained without a warrant under the Patriot Act. On top of that, the RIAA will sue you because you own an iPod and are therefore the reason why they can't seem to sell cra.ppy Jessica Simpson albums. And this is when it's GAME OVER.

Parachute does freeze at 1000..but at that stage youre just shooting swarms of helicopters.
And Ive managed 891 on the Brick game.I'm wondering if it freezes at 1000,like Parachute.

1003
# 14 Re: Parachute High Scores
I got up to 997 right before my Biology final. Like everyone has been saying, it cut off as it got near 1000. I actually had to take a picture because my friend (another iPod owner) didn't believe me.
