1740![]() First few goes. Possibly too much colour making it hard to see exactly where the fruit is. |

I think it is worth Congratulating Dumple already. If Dumps enters either week, there is absolutely no way that he(? Well, there haven't been many girlies over the years) is going to score a combined points total of 15. Yes, just 15. Dumps has proven to be just too good. Oh, and that is assuming that I can achieve upwards of 93 points in each of the last two games. If I fail to win both Dumps doesn't even need to take part! Congrats, Dumps - I've been thwarted again. |

2,540 Nah, too crummy for my liking; though games are quick for a change. |

Ah yes, the good old Z/X/./:/] control scheme ![]() Protip: hit shift-2 to make the double-quote character to type run "fruity.bas" (and not +fruity.bas+) I've never seen an Amstrad (real or emulated) before, so for me this is a neat missing link in computer evolution... |

3840 Yep, it's a Mr. Do! knock-off...but a pretty capable one. I found something non-obvious: If you touch the icon where the enemies spawn from (the one that reminds me of a Batman KAPOW! sign), it spawns a little critter at the top of the screen with a "B" on it. If you kill that, you get a whole series of them spelling B,O,N,U,S - and that gives a pretty good number of points. I've only pulled this off on the first level, though - after that chaos reigns. |

3,070 Knew nothing of the shot; that has opened up this game somewhat - it's not that crummy, now. |
