Not sure I follow. Is it Photoshop? I beat level 10, but did not have enough time to switch to level 11 screen on 27K game. 29K by level 10 with rocks still on the screen and with dying once is ??? Was it a ton of bonus points?

29k is crazy good. I'll try after work.

27,490. Took only 10 minutes during lunch. 28K is possible I got only 1 power up if I remember right.

26,120 Used a stock reproduction Pro controller. Wasted about 1 second on the second to last level and about .5 second on the last level. 27K might be possible.

26K is nuts. I'll give one more try tonight.

Getting close to release?

How is Gods game?

Hints for better score: If ship is clear of rocks on new level, press B for ship to appear on screen faster vs. waiting Use smaller CRT, CRTs have no lag and big TV makes your eyes need to move more and slows down your reaction Only ever get/use double power shot from level 3 and 4. Don't try to shoot from far away, it takes too much time, unless you have double power shot. Best score obtained with reproduction Pro controller due to smooth d-pad, but had good results with the stock gray keypad controller. Don't play game with black keypad button controller as that does not turn well due to crappy d-pad. Arcade type controller is ok, but it oversteers and you have to correct back. Use Jag that plays @ 60Hz There is an angle the rocks move into the shot, make sure to use this to destroy all the smaller rocks as fast as possible. Hunting smaller rocks takes too much time.

Yes smaller sprites are way better. I think the sprites are still a little too thick.

25,760, no errors. Maybe I could have been 1-2 seconds faster overall, but that's about it.

Well done, any wasted time?

25,350. Can be about 300 more at least. I wasted ~3 seconds at the end of the game.

Great game, my wife and I really liked this one.

I'll stick with 60Hz I had a few perfect games, but then did something to ruin it near the end. I think slightly higher in 25K range is possible, but 26K might be out of reach.

Is this game still being worked on?

Will you get at least one crown per play through?

I tend to get 24K most of the time now. Getting 26K will be really difficult.

I tried game at 50hz and 60hz, and I get better score on 60hz. For some reason 60Hz seems to have better turn rate. Maybe my imagination. Regular Rebooteroids has adjustment for turn rate. I suppose with Caravan one can adjust using various types of spinners.

Wow, thank you that is what happened I got 1 crown and then nothing. I think its the graphics and sound I like the most. They are happy little birds, but the enemy dying sound is good too. Yes, death seems random for sure. Almost like everything is a little too random. Right now I'm play just to get big bank account, as I spent all the money on the previous pass through. Seems unnatural to play for just that reason, if more time could have spent working on game balance, oh well. It's still a good game. Just now I've been getting 1 and 3 for gold, min gold should have been 10. Usually to outfit hero takes about 2K to go through all the levels. I'll try to get 4k so I have 2 good passes and hope for 1 crown each pass.

Now 9 of 11 crowns. For the last two crowns I don't remember seeing the crown notice when entering the level, does that sound right? I ended up seeing a single screen ending after going past level 12. Now I need to increase gold funds. I was thinking of other ways to improve this type of game if a sequel is made. Allow hero to sell extra weapons/items at the store. Before going past level 12, let player know this will end the game and they are still missing 2 crowns. Its seems a little bit meaningless to fight bad guys on the various levels, this should mean more in HP, magic spell or attack. Since the laggy movement is for grid turn based, then have an option where the time allocated for the grid turn based pause can be turned off/adjusted.

Got into because when I was younger had C64 and Sega Master System and didn't understand why the Jag console got a bad rap. Now I see why, as some of the original games were not that good and seem rushed. Given that, there are some really nice homebrew games, and now I play Jag every couple of weeks.

I ended up removing RF modulator, installed 50/60Hz switch in the RF spot. Connected wires at R140 on bottom side of pcb near joystick ports.

Does this work? https://williamthorup.com/atari-jaguar-nondestructive-5060hz-switch-mod/

Machine's 25,330 is crazy good. The 25,140 game I had everything went right. So to get above that, everything plus some went right.
