Achieve Stellar Scores In HyperBlast

Greetings Blasters! Max here. GC and I love racing through our favorite intergalactic speedway, HyperBlast, but we never get very high scores. One day as I was shooting at a particularly rude robot, I saw GC further down using a bunch of tricks that I never even thought of before! That’s when I realized… Why don’t GC and I use some good old teamwork and share our HyperBlast secrets! Putting our heads together, we came up with 4 great tips so that you can reach HIGHER levels and get ASTRONOMICAL SCORES!

GC’s #1 Tip: Choosing your topic
Whenever I start a new game of HyperBlast, I put special thought into which topic I choose. From addition to fractions, HyperBlast covers a lot of ground so it is important to choose a subject you feel comfortable with. Today, I woke up feeling GREAT about my division skills, so I selected that topic. Take it from me that you do NOT want to play too many games on the same topic. Since you want to get as many questions right when you’re blasting at the robots, you need to keep your brain as alert as possible!

Max’s #1 Tip: Destroying obstacles
Destroying obstacles might be my favorite part of HyperBlast, but it’s also super important to getting a high score. I try to start shooting at obstacles as soon as I see them, that way I have a clear path to zoom through space and beat GC!

GC’s #2 Tip: Use your blasts when you get in trouble
A mistake I used to always make when playing Hyperblast was to forget to use my blasts. When you hit the control button, these blasts clear ALL the obstacles in front of you and you get points for it! How cool is that? You only get limited amounts of blasts so use them wisely. I try to only use these when I’m stuck in a crunch. Max always uses them right away, which makes it really easy for me to beat his score on harder levels. That’s why I typically win when we choose to race!

Max’s #2 Tip: Practice your mental math
Just used up my last blast, my health is low, and GC is already on the next level! How should I catch up? As GC mentioned, being able to answer as many math questions of possible can boost up your score. That’s why I train before each race by practicing my mental math skills so I can fire away at those evil robots. The topics will focus on specific groups of numbers, so you know exactly what to study before starting on your first level.

Red alert! After defeating that angry green giant, I can see GC in the distance! Will I zip through these obstacles and get my highest score yet?

Oh no! I hit an obstacle and lost my last life! I definitely plan to take GC’s advice and save my blasts for emergency situations. Now that you have advice from both GC and me, go play HyperBlast and try to beat our scores!

“Challenge All” of Your Fellow Blasters

Blasters, which games do you like most when you play Math Blaster? Because you are all so hard-working and dedicated at training in the Blaster Academy, you probably play your favorite games over and over again so you can learn more and get better scores.

Now, you do not have to stop at challenging yourself — you can challenge all of your Math Blaster B.F.F.’s in a battle for the highest scores!

Once you have finished playing a game, you will see a couple of options, including “Replay Game,” “High Scores,” and “Challenge.” If you click on the “Challenge” button, you will be taken to a screen that will show all of your B.F.F.’s.

Instead of having to select B.F.F.’s one at a time, you can select all of them at once and challenge them to beat your high scores in your favorite games. See who can get to the highest levels, win the most credits, and reach the top scores. Even if you cannot always battle each other directly in each game, you can have a friendly competition as you try and best each other in your high scores.

Have you tried out this “Challenge All” feature yet? Which games do you like to play the most in Math Blaster? Tell us about your “Challenge All” experiences, and about the fun high score battles that you have in the comment section below!
