Excellent! 51,415 The furthest I've ever got - level 13 of 16 (then it loops). The first level of the 4th and last ship. ![]() |

26025 Proper game this, fun and addictive from the get-go. First time fiddling with Spectrum emulators and there isn't even a basic "Save screenshot" function, or at least I can't find one (Spectaculator). |

95,550 I have a sore hand, and I'm boiling hot after that, but it was worth it. I managed to loop it (Hooray!), and got back to ship three. Died on the annoying bubbles level. ![]() |

It gets pretty boring after you loop it. It is a good game, though. Played it a whole bunch on the 360. |

Like most early Ultimate games, this takes a simple theme and repeats it, increasing the difficulty every time. I don't think they expected many people to loop it, to be honest! |

How can i play this with a gamepad on ZX Spin? When i toggle Kempston Joystick the character just goes right while firing and the keyboard scheme is plain ridiculous. |

47,340 Level 2-4 Slowly getting to grips with the key layout - much prefer my right hand to do left, right and fire/jump (and left hand to do up, down and jump/other). Losing lives through rushing, and the occasional 'direct hit' miss (usually on L3). Edited by Sputryk, 9 Oct 2013, 10:51 PM.

This game is interesting, but I might have to skip this one. The rapid weather changes in this area (like, every freaking day) are just wrecking me. I can barely use the mouse at the moment. |

I need some help ![]() I'm also using ZXSpin 0.7 but my joystick is not working, it's detected, the calibration box is working but I don't know what to choos to activate it. The icon in the bottom left corner shows the joystick. I'm also not able to play with the keyboard. thanks |

Have you gone to "Tools | Options... | Control" and set the Joystick to be a Kempston Joystick? |

Please don't. Let Clarance keep his 1st place. I do not want to attempt another run if someone beats Clarance. Everyone, just stop playing. |

On Options -> Controllers there's a tab with "Keyboard", "joystick" and "Mouse". I didn't noticed this at first, maybe that's what's happening to you. |

11,465 Thanks for the help of setting up the emulator+Joystick. By selecting Kempston in both the Tools>options>Controller>joystick menu and the starting screen(4) it's working perfectly. Now I just need to improve me score! Edited by patbb, 11 Oct 2013, 02:00 PM.

Erm..., highly strange and hugely annoying. Just had a bizarre game. Every time the ship landed to start each level I LOST A LIFE! So...GAME OVER just by landing the ship. Uh?

Bah. Could be it for me this week. EVERY game now, I get the above problem - I lose a life every time the ship lands. I've tried downloading again, but no good. Not a happy bunny, now.

164,455 Oooooooh yeah. Getting late and started lose concentration. Patience wins in this game. It's actually rather easy to keep looping. Just patience (and no sleepyhead). No more this week, though. Very pleased overall. Don't know what score I used to get at this all those years ago, but this beats it hands down. |

Mother F. I ended my game a bit early thinking no one would put in the time to go over 250k. My intuition sucks in this league. Nice job, Clarance. |
