Hot Foot UFO 50 - Cheese Strategy for first five levels

A simple to execute strategy for cheesing the first five levels of hot foot.

The Setup

To implement the cheese, you will need to select Edgar and July.

Edgar's ability to cheat will come in very handy, as it is what allows the cheese to take place.

July is selected to make it so that the enemy cannot have July as that is a counter to this strategy (and part of the reason it does not work on level 6).

Unfortunately because the cheese uses Edgar it is non-compliant with an earlier strategy outlined by hoboshoe - guide here. Some players may find more success with that guide as it has a good strategy for the final level.

The Cheese

To implement the cheese, grab a beanbag and run up to the opponent's side. After dodging the first volley of beanbags, wait for the coach to throw a collectible and wait by it in the path of the enemy.

As the enemy runs towards the collectible, stand in front of them and toss the beanbag as lightly as possible directly forwards. This will often cause them to fall over. In that case, pick up the beanbag again, walk back to be right in front of the enemy and toss it lightly again, waiting a brief moment so that the beanbag will hit them right as they are standing up, hopefully knocking them down again.

If you get lucky, you should be able to repeat the process many times. Even if you aren't as lucky, you should still be able to get in a couple of free hits and easily get a blowout.

It is possible to implement the cheese without waiting for the collectible but it is significantly more risky as the computer's movements are pretty random and it will give the opponent more firepower if you miss, thus making you have to actually play the game.

The Foil

Unfortunately, this strategy stops working on the final stage due to the robots ability to push you down. Because the strategy requires you to be up in the opponent's face, you can't really implement it without getting knocked down by the robot. This is also why we had to pick July in the setup phase.

All I can say is good luck with that final level. It is a doozy and takes quite a few attempts. Unfortunately you have to still get better at the game and not just cheese your way through all of it, but this should hopefully make those cherry attempts significantly less painful with many less resets in the early stages.
