Diamonds give you a free game, 8000 points and end that scene.

They have a 1 in 512 chance of appearing as an apple breaks open (Default setting)

So 3 (1 in 512) chances within 1 game is very rare.

Most I've ever had before is 2 Diamonds in a game.

3 Diamonds before scene 10. The odds must be huge, too large for me to work out.

Onwards!

If I get a diamond early on in a scene, I usually just ignore it as you can usually score way more points by playing out the scene. And free credits don't really count for much.

Hi everyone,
One of your members contacted me on the Aussie Arcade forums where I'm a member (I'm in Australia) and told me about the Mr. Do! thread here.
Awesome! I'm a huge Mr.Do! Fan and have spent a bit of time on this game. I was also on the push to crack the million point mark and achieved that with a bit over 1.4 million. I noticed in one of the first posts in this thread someone has added the strategy guide I wrote. I hope this has helped someone out and added to your enjoyment of this game.
It looks like Kewydee has a fair bit of love for this game too. I enjoyed reading about your progress. Congrats on the 2 million.
I look forward to discussing a bit of Mr. Do!

Greetings BigRedBird

The strategy guide you wrote is very good, thats why I posted it. Its far better than my effort to explain Mr Do!

I love the way that this daft game has brought guys from all over the globe together, the internet is an amazing thing

Thanks for the congrats, 2 million was a major effort. And now I want 3 million. Not sure if I have the skills to reach that high though.

I'm ok at this game, but the real master is Dazzer https://www.twitch.tv/dazzer_/profile

Wait until you see him play, he's a real master of this game. Scene 255, easy peasy. Pretty sure he has done 1 million on 1 life in the past. Incredible player.

I see you have a Twitch account, are you going to stream any Mr Do!?

Its great to see more players, everyone has a different playstyle. Game on!

Onwards!

Hey Kewydee,
I don't stream anything on Twitch, I just use it for viewing.
I did record a bit of my gameplay (first three levels). Our gameplay looks pretty similar.

Hi BigRedBird

Its a shame that you don't stream, would be nice to see some more of your play.

I watched that youtube video of scenes 1,2,3. The high score showed 999,250. Would be nice to have seen that game.

Twitch has changed recently, you can now upload video to Twitch, just like youtube. Maybe upload your games to Twitch?

Cheers

Hey Kewydee,
I have since updated that high score to reflect the maximum available.
A mate and I are fairly competitive on this and I wanted to make sure there was no wriggle room for him to be in the number one spot!
I think I killed off 6 or 7 men to finish at the maximum score that will display.
It is a little bit tricky to do as the diggers are so aggressive at this point that they can easily kill themselves and cause the score to click back over to zero.

Hey Guys

Another decent game, my 2nd highest score so far

https://www.twitch.tv/kewydee_17/v/95565750

1,857,100 Scene 130

Thought I was going to crack 2 million, then it went pear-shaped. Last man copped an apple in the face

Greetings Les, nice to see another Mr Do! player here on 'Vac

Heres a link to my tutorial video https://www.twitch.tv/kewydee_17/v/19694237

This covers early tactics, how to deal with apples etc.

Scenes 1 thru 10 covered 3 times over and then a run of 800k

Hopefully it will help you push on to a new best score.

If you need any help, just bung a question on here. Happy to help

Good luck, go get that 100k

Cheers

Hey O! Greetings fellow Do-ers. I just found these forums. I run Mr. Do on MAME; pretty sure that it's the Universal ROM. I do have an original Mr. Do marquee on my cabinet, which my dad boosted off an original machine in the mid 80s. Enjoying the videos and tips/tricks. I've never been able to reliably put the pause trick to work, nor have I taken advantage of the offset apple method with the Alphamonsters and their crew, save, maybe, for the first couple of scenes. I think that just the latter will help get me to a million. Currently, I'm stuck on 760K.

And then one day you find, 10 years has got behind...
10 years! How'd that happen.
Been playing again recently on MiSTER. Got 1.3 Million just last week.
Can't believe it's 8 years since I got my high score.
I recently found another quality player on Youtube. 1 million 1 man type of good.
Uses different techniques and routes on the higher scenes.
Exciting to learn new ways even after all these years.

How do you make the normal fellas stop when chasing you? Do you have to wait u til they are close then stop momentarily?

I’m plateauing around l20 and can’t seem to break through.
