IS THERE NONE WHO CAN CHALLENGE ME?

I hereby declare myself king of Monkey Kick-Off. With a score of 4750 Monkey Meters, I feel secure & confident that my reign will be a long & prosperous one.

Sorry, jonson, 4819 Monkey Meters by the wendellator. That wasn't a reign; that was a drizzle.

Dammit. 4467 is my best so far. My WORST, however, is a paltry 150.

I stand corrected. 120!

What's your best for a kick that didn't pick up enough altitude to go off the screen? Mine was 3230.

Okay.. someone help me out here. I can get 4300 odd meters but I have no idea how - it all seems horribly random to me. Two kicks that I think are identical result in a 4km kick followed by one that rolls along the grass... Is the height he kicks it (in the keepie-uppie bit) a power bar? How does where the ball is effect how far it goes?

It seems pretty random to me. Any "strategies", mefites?

By: hifiparasol

hifiparasol — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 04:15:01 -0800

The best strategy I can see right now is to wait until just after the ball goes over the monkey's head, then kick it just as it's coming down. If it bounces before reaching the desert, I hit retry -- otherwise it's a lost cause.

True, I suspect nothing is likely to topple Nanaca Crash in my affections for quite a while. Still good fun though.

Watch the palm tree just behind the football. When the ball goes above it, wait a split second, and then kick. I figured-out this technique for you, fellow MeFis. The price: my nerves are now shot. But I wish you all the luck.

Somebody should decompile Nanaca Crash and insert a server-side scoring system like this thing has. In a world where such a thing exists, YOU WOULD BOW BEFORE ALL THAT I AM!

This is fun, but Nanaca Crash is the pinnacle of distance games in my eyes. My record is 16579.91 on that one :D

For those who haven't tried it, here's Nanaca Crash. This is the latest version (1.07) as far as I know - it has a speedometer, but most sites only have 1.06.

Scored the same as antifuse 4467, though my worst is a paltry 85 metres. Ha! Beat that antifuse. ;)

I had a freaky Nanacacrash session this afternoon - got 21 069.99m That's right, over TWENTY thousand metres. I felt like that paraglider who got swept up in a thunderstorm - it was like it was never going to end.

By: jonson

jonson — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 10:29:29 -0800

You metachat folk who got scores in the 6 & 7 thousands, how is it that the monkey initially kicks the ball up so high in your videos? When I stare at the screen for five minutes, the monkey constantly hackey-sacks the ball no higher than just above head height (the height you can see in my link in the FPP above). Yet seanyboy & CitrusFreak's videos both clearly show a MUCH higher starting kick. Did you just wait for an hour, or has the game been modified some way to remove that initial high-kick?

By: CitrusFreak12

CitrusFreak12 — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 12:38:27 -0800

Jonson, the playback isn't accurate as far as the kickoff goes. It doesn't show me waiting about three minutes for the highest kick. I spent about twenty minutes playing this game, trying to time it right.

How do you use the specials in Nanaca?

By: Flashman

Flashman — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 15:14:59 -0800

Re the specials - I figured out that left clicking while your guy was flying sometimes had an effect - I think it has something to do with the red and blue arrows on the left - they're like extra boosts or something. Same goes for the specials - I just left clicked when the 'special' appeared, and you get some sort of surprise bonus. Not sure if you can control what you get or if it's predetermined.

By: Earl the Polliwog

Earl the Polliwog — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 17:23:53 -0800

If you click when you're falling, you get a boost up. You get three of these per game. If you click when you're rising, you get a boost down. You can only hold one charge, but the percentage meter rises and replenishes it whenever you're on screen. These are the meat of the game. Specials, if you hit a girl while her profile is lit, you'll get a special instead of the normal effect. The girl who stops you has the best special. There are the super, Block specials, activated only by hitting a Block girl and THEN the above. These can be insane.
