From the storyline itself you will find great humor from the moon who never stop singing an old orchestrated song. Sets in the Hall of the Mountain King where he sings as loud as he can. And from that story our game rises with shooting game. This is a one-touch arcade game that will let you experience launching rockets towards the moon so it will get him shut up. But the fact is, he won’t stop only the rockets can intimidate him to stop him singing for a while. So what you need to do is to keep on going as for every successful hit you will have a score that you can compete for highest score in playing Shoot The Moon. Pretty easy game but for those who wish to improve their gameplay, they can consider guides and tips below:
1. Angry Moon. After successfully hitting the moon 5 times this will cause him to spawn a little red blob that will bounce around the screen. Upon hitting them this will counts as miss so you will lose a life. To play this part based on your advantage you must understand and prepare yourself for it. You will find it every 5 shots regardless of distance and that is the reason why you should always aim for long shot so you will be prepared. As a negative effect to the moon, every time he does this rage, you will find him getting slow down so this will give you more opportunity to hit him.
2. Getting more points. For you to earn more points you must understand the pointing system. In Shoot The Moon the closer the moon on the top of the screen when the time you hit him, the more points you will get. If you try to analyze the situation, you will see a thin blue line near the top of the screen. You can consider this is as a 10-point (the highest score) zone marker where you can aim for the highest overall score. So in general as long as any part of the moon is pass that blue line, you will get 10 points.
3. Take time with aiming. The good thing to think about in this game, is that there is no time limit between shots so you can spend time for aiming. From here you can work out with better moon’s trajectory while also predicting the angles he’s going to bounce at and where he’ll be in a couple of seconds based on the moon’s speed. Upon spending the time, you can easily find the rhythm between moon’s speed as well as figuring out how can you hit moon above the blue line for the highest score.
4. Do your objective for extra life. We don’t have a confirmation if the time lapse glitch will work in this game so we can’t cheat Shoot The Moon for unlimited lives. What we can do right now is to figure ways where you can earn extra life and the best fit for it is to reach goals to earn additional life. When it comes to the game, you will find out that the amount of points you get from hitting the moon also scrolls the screen upward and upon hitting the certain point thresholds, you will see a dotted line goal marker. Making a successful pass with these goal lines will let you earn additional heart. So even you miss a shot or been hit with a baddie still are you are able to play the game.
5. Take advantage with double multiplier shots. Upon making a progress you will find out that there is a chance for you to earn a double goal, double multiplier shots and as well as passing two lines with one shots. With this boost you will see yourself can easily eliminate those angry red things on your screen.
6. Don’t miss the long shots. We already mentioned the double multiplier shots and this can be acquired every time you do a successful 10-point hit in series. For three consecutive long shots, the double multiplier will activate and as long as you continue to get long shots, this will let you earn 20 points. Just keep in mind that multiplier streak will be deactivated upon missing even a single shot.
