Winning At Robot Unicorn Attack With Five Easy Guidelines.

Robot Unicorn Attack is a fun, seizure-inducing flash game done by Adult Swim. I'm not going to go more into detail, so if you don't know what it is, you can go play it here.

I'm a bit of a wizard at this game, so I'm going to do what all good wizards to, and impart my wisdom with the internet. So, here it is;

Winning At Robot Unicorn Attack With Five Easy Guidelines

This is a lame score. Get a better one.

Guideline #1: Always set goals. If you are aiming for a score of 100K, try and get a minimum of 33333 points every wish. Keep restarting wishes if you get less than 33333. Don't settle for 24000 and tell yourself you'll just get twice as much next time to make up for it (for more on this, read Guideline #2). If you cannot achieve your goal, set a lower one. Every time you achieve your goal, set a higher one; keep doing this untill you are completely satisfied with your high score. Remember, there is always room for improvement.

Note; This is probably the most important step.

Guideline #2: One thing that you can use to your advantage is the restart button fluke. I'm not really sure if it was intentional, but if you use the R key within a half-second of crashing, you can restart the level (aka; wish). This one is pretty obvious, but it's incredibly helpful, and  surprising amount of people don't know about it.

Note;  This doesn't work in the Heavy Metal Version. But the Heavy Metal Version is lame anyway.

Guideline #3: Do not ignore faeries. I know they're not worth much, but in the long run, it really adds up. That being said, don't go out of your way for them. If you think trying to get a faerie might make it more difficult to get a star, just don't chance it. While faeries do help increase your score, star-streaks are much more important.

Guideline #4: When you fall beneath the ground, keep dashing. This sounds silly, but you would be surprised at the amount of time you can stay alive just by dashing-- when your unicorn isn't even in sight.

Guideline #5: Fuck strategy, keep practicing. While there may be some small things you can do to improve your score, and some people who are better at this game than others, the real key is just wasting a lot of time playing it. Take breaks, though. If you play it for too many hours, you stop focusing, and your score decreases. by a lot.

Well, that's all for now. I might edit this article later.

Hopefully yours,
Kori. x
