Most of the rings have a hole in the center of them; it is easiest to aim for this hole (it does not move as the rings spin) and adjust slightly when you reach a ring without a center hole. I kept my speed as low as it would go during this run. I got the achievement one my first try after switching to this strategy.
SneakyStabbalotthumbs up - the secret is to not move around a lot. hence, stay as close as possible to the centers.

LanEvoIXThanks, got it 4th try after reading for solution. At first thought it would be impossible due to terrible controls.

AvengedAgainstI got this without this solution, I was just checking the ratio and saw there was a guide, but +1 from me b/c of your Castle Crashers avatar :)

AldangaThis was a PITA for me. I found it impossible to discern how far away the rocket was as it got farther into the tunnel. I eventually lucked out using your solution and got 30.6k for a top 30 finish. Thanks!

I8ITackyticsI8IA tough one i thought in the grand scheme of things. Took me like 40 tries, but definitely the most fun thing about this cardboard game.

McD76Great solution. Didn't even noticed the holes in the middle at first.

Homunculus FuryThis one was a pain. I kinda got it on accident. I thought I was about to fail again barely missed the wall and hit the last 3 in a row without moving the missle.

VenomXNLHaha damm, the same as almost every other comment here, i did not got it until i've tried your solution, then i got it on first try :) even made it until the end of the level this way hahaha.

B8TINGU@ sarahoi if your still havign trouble.. try this.. it helped for me anyway: Strart at normal speed (defaultjustthat slider yet... shoot ans stay in the midde liek the above solution. around 10 in it starts to get a bit faste, so around tha time (a little before or after won't hurt) pull down on the speed and watch the rotations of the paterns, ( I always ran i to a wal but then I stared thinking goofy controls .. when you see the circle spin right go left..and vice versa.. also around 10 in when it starts getting faster move a litte out instead of being in the center (it helped me anyway) and jsut start naviating as I said before. it may take you few tries to fully understand what I'm saying but try it anyou may find ita little easier.

Also put it down for a while then come back. I tried what seemed like forever getting 12, 17 and 19...so frustrating... then I had to go do somethin, came back and nailed it first time back!!

BTW thumbs because this by far a great way to ge it. I tried lot of things before realizing with this solution, to try and keep things as straight an tight as possible!

YoDzGot it first try after reading this. Thanks dude
Posted by YoDz on 24 May 16 at 01:59
Nazule80Thanks!

I got it on my first try AFTER reading both the great guide and @B8TINGU's comment. When the circles start to speed up you need to slightly move in the opposite direction while staying in the middle.

romisthebestStay close to the centre as much as you can. Good luck :)
