Shrink Shot Help

This is the post you're looking for if you need help with Shrink Shot! I'm posting this now because the official Sneak Peek for Shrink Ray is coming up soon. I'm assuming you know the basic idea with this game: point and click to launch at an angle and you get to shoot again if you hit the cannon. It's mostly pure luck because you can't control yourself after you've shot. But here are some pointers anyway.

You can get to higher ranks by scoring points in the game, which can come from three different things:

1. point balls
2. bouncing around madly
3. destruction by crashing into dangerous objects (oh, and did I mention you're a tenth of your true size in this?)

For each rank there's a cool special-action item. Here they are:

1. hard helmet
2. bouncy ball
3. propeller cap
4. spiked hard helmet (oh YEAH!)
5. spiked bouncy ball (what?)

The last three items are members-only. You can only get the grand prize with the last hat, which means that's members-only as well (@#$%^&*)! Each hat causes much more mayhem than the first. Some balls (the ones with arrows) will change your direction and give you extra points. When you hit one three times, it will disappear. There are various objects around the room, which can give you special (and awesome) items as well:

• grape Popgum (chewable) [from stack of gum on shelf]
• droppable soda bottle [found in many places, but one is within shooting distance of the cannon]
• crayons (change anyone's skin color) [from crayons on windowsill]
• shrink ray design blue balloon [from big balloon near top]
• snow globe (members only, sparkly) [grand prize]
• blimp gives +points
• car takes you to the other end of the room
• plane takes you near the blimp
• the rank items are collectible (and wearable) as well

Shoot for a 45* degree angle almost all of the time to get the quickest rank up at first, but if you want distance, not height, try shooting 75* counterclockwise. This will put you in range of the balloons, blimp and plane and will also get you closest to the snow globe. And remember, you have the same Ninja Vision thing from Red Dragon... press the spacebar to pause and look around.

Check out Shark Boy's crazy score if you need inspiration (I actually got higher, but didn't take any video. Excuse my obnoxiousness in that post, I was very young!)

In other news, Balloon Boy may be landing soon (finally!) Before I go on break, I have one message for you. The next island, after Shrink Ray, may just be a sequel to Astro-Knights. Don't believe me? The answer lies deep within the old Sneak Peeks. *fainting from shock*
