Help with Level 29?

[Having fun on the computer]

Most of the rest of the levels in adventure mode have been pretty simple to three-star, but dang is level 29 giving me a real horrible pain in the ass. Not only does the spherical shape of the level prevent the player from planning out moves ahead of time, but also sometimes there are really awful things like blue enemies who actually move faster than the player ship, thusly ensuring an untimely death without a great deal of luck.

It may also very well be that I'm just crappy at pacifism levels, though I do have the achievement for beating the dev score in pacifism classic, so I can't be THAT horrible. Anyone got any killer tips?

I too am struggling with this level for three stars. However, the deadline Pacifism earlier in the game is giving me more of a problem and struggling to get 2 stars. I put these levels to the side for now while I work on 3 stars for the other levels. I will have to come back to them though...eventually. Time to search up Youtube to find any good runs to get pointers from.

Everything after boss 3 is giving me a hard time. The game was pretty difficult beforehand earning 2 stars let alone 3 and i find the difficulty has jumped immensely.

Maybe it's just me but i find this game a lot harder than the second game and i've also played Geometry Wars Galaxies for the Wii as well and that game was nowhere near as hard as this.

Me too...I have 149 stars and this one should be easy compared to some of the others. Looking for some high score challenges to add me!

That was the last one got to get the Geometry Warrior achievement

once you get comfortable getting 2 stars consistently just try to move forward and have a tail behind you

Only the collect drone is allowed on level 29.

maybe finish the game then come back to levels u havent got 3 stars on so u have points to level up drones

oh yeah planet of peace the pacifist one, yeah that one took me a while to do

I can't get the first dozen gates to be close enough to make this possible. This one will take me awhile. I was really good with Pacifism in the last GW but I'm just awful at it now.

took me alot of tires

there are some more 3 star levels that are more annoying than this one

I did the deadline one by going through red gates in quick succesion, then finishing the run with a golden gate.

This was HARD. I tried multiple strategies, but ultimately got it.

First, stop worrying about getting every last geom. Greed will eventually kill you. I can't tell you how many runs ended at about 8 million due to doing something stupid.

Rather, just go for gates, and count gates. Just go zen and stop focusing on grouping enemies, on collecting geoms -- your only mission is to go through about 50 gates. (I believe I 3-starred at 46 gates, but since the number of geoms will vary slightly just aim for 50 since it's a nice round number.

After days of trying, this worked really fast. It totally stopped me from focusing on all the little things that got me killed, and my only goal was to get through the next gate, and I 3 starred it within a couple tries.
