Is there a demo for Stockboy? If there is, can I have a copy?

I can't wait till it comes out

I downloaded the demo for Stockboy, and have a lot of fun with it. There's just one thing I haven't finished. That's the one that you blow up the purple and green barrels and finally the yellow ones.



The perfect score is 3600, but I haven't even reached 3,000 yet. I've tried and tried, but can't figure out what I need to do to reach the perfect finish.



All help is appreciated!



Thanks.

That level is hard. It took me several tries before I was successful. What I did was:



Pick up grey and purple bombs.

Drop grey bomb by green barrels, and purple bomb by purple barrels.

When grey bomb is at the count of 3 (you may have to adjust that), start collecting the yellow and blue pencils (it is important that there isn't any break in the pick-up of the pencils). That's the trick!

Now quickly, while the green and purple barrels are still exploding, run over and collect all the red pencils without any pauses (or break in pick-up).

You should see a very long string of numbers of different colors at the top of the screen. The more colors, the higher your score.

I ended up with a score above 3700, and that was without blowing up the yellow barrels.



Remember it has to be a continual pick-up of pencils while the barrels are blowing up, that is what gives you the big score. You have to be quick, precise, and get the timing right!



Hope that helps. It sounds simple, but it isn't.

I beat the WHOLE DEMO!!!!! of course i beat it a month ago anyway. how come its impossible to beat the last day, though? and i had a hard time getting a yellow star on that level too. it took a pretty long time to figure it out, but when i did, i smacked myself on the head and said "DUH!"

The last day isn't a normal level. It's a sample of a special game mode called Pest Control where you just keep destroying the pests until you lose, and you try to rack up as high of a score as possible. That mode was probably the most popular part of the game with the testers. You should see King Blobby! Scores of 40,000+ are not uncommon there! Although it does get pretty mindless, it feels very satisfying to detonate an entire ocean of blobbies.
