This is a lot trickier than I remember it being, and a bit mean with the re-spawns sometimes. Got to be quick to grab a screenshot of the score too!

Hoping the score's not toooooo tricky to grab. Sorry, didn't think about that

EDIT: Shit - It's a bit of a bugger. Happy to have it redrawn if it's too much of a pain. Seems ther's no Hi. Sc. table ?

On WinVICE, if you press the Alt key, that pauses the game, allowing you to take a screenshot.

:( I was looking forward to playing this on the real thing, but it doesn't sound like I'll have time to take a pic with a camera.

Can I just point out, btw, that I am NOT one of the authors of this game, despite the game credits!

Unfairly harsh, at times, especially when navigating through rocks - never did enjoy those stretches. And a tough memory challenge for the ?'s.

Horribly, horribly unfair at times. And if you respawn immediately infront of a wall, you rarely get an opportunity to bounce sufficiently to get out of the way without falling. Great game when the horrid areas are not in play, terribly infuriating when they are.

Quick score to make sure I get on the board. I love this game idea, but the learning curve is harsh...

Helped by a 50K bonus on L3.

Those fans on level 3 are a bugger.

Stage 2 is rough. After practicing that one a few times to learn the path through, I had a lucky run.

Cute game idea, but aggravating. I hate the ponderously slow end-of-level sequence (slooowly scroll into a boring bonus level, sloooowly scroll back out), and sometimes recovery from losing a life feels very unfair.

Argh! Somehow mixed up my screen captures. Don't think I can find it so consider my previous post invalid

Edit: did find it but was larger than 200kb so had to crop it quite heavily to take it down below maximum upload size. Any tips on easy shrinking?

I'd just load it into any image editor and reduce the picture size - even a 50% reduction can make a significant change in image size. Either that, or crop the page so it shows the score (don't know if this is allowed within the group rules, though)

Use Photobucket, and post image as a link. Size is then irrelevant.



And well played both Dumps and Had. Don't know if I have it in me to try again.

I was just having "one more go" and I somehow ended up with infinite lives! It's just playing itself now... No sign of any end to it!
Just posting a screeny out of interest, not an official submission...

If you downloaded via the link at the top on the first post it has a trainer and one of the options is to not lose lives

Thanks for the suggestions it'll be good to have options next time. I know the feeling Sputryk - while I truly enjoyed revisiting the game this week, those post-death placements are like tiny despair bombs in my brain

Bollix. Having a torrid time at work and not had a chance to play this week. Either at work or completely knackered from being at work all the bloody time.... AND it was a C64 game that I love. X(
