    Thanks James!

     

    (Just an FYI the magics are all down, back, fire or down, forward, fire or down, up. The yellow ninja will crash the game if doing down, forward, fire magic as I haven't finished coding his spear move yet.)

     

    Holding down+fire in the air is jump punch. (I left a DEBUG in that changes characters for testing if doing a straight up and down jump punch). Simply standing and pressing fire performs a low kick. During the knee bend animation press up for high kick or away for roundhouse.

     

    Thank you so much for the tips on extra moves in the game! Looking forward to playing it today. 🙂

    Ninja Kombat AND a new VHZC 2600 game??!?!?   That's a doosey of an episode!  The only thing I can think of would be if both hosts cosplayed as MK characters.  I'd also alternatively accept the cats in costume as well.  :)

     

    Should be a lot of fun! Funny enough there's characters named Tanya and James in some of the Mortal Kombat games.

     

    Maybe the cats will have a play fight but I doubt they'll put up with any costumes, hahah.

    Just watched the show. Thank you for including my game. Awesome watching you both play, really a great feeling watching people enjoying a game you made. I have to say though, my favorite part was when your cat was sitting propped up against the wall. I laughed out loud at that. :D Thanks again.

     

    Hahah, you're welcome, it was a lot of fun playing Destroyer 7800 on ZPH! The cats are really the stars of the show. 😉

    Cheap Death? - a ghost suddenly appears on the same side you were on

     

    Mr. James @ZeroPage Homebrew, do you think that sometimes the gameplay leads to "cheap deaths" where a ghost suddenly appears on the same side that your Pac-Man is on?  Or is this hazard intentional and I just need to adapt my gameplay accordingly?  Sometimes in Jawbreaker for Atari 2600, I would experience similar deaths (that I thought IMO were cheap) when smiley faces would enter the maze from the same side as my jaws and honestly I thought it was not fair and a flaw in the game design.  What do you think about it in the case of Pac-Line? 

     

    The ghost should be visible at all times on the screen, either chasing you, as a scared ghost or as eaten eyes, and shouldn't appear out of nowhere. Based on your screen shot I can only guess you ate a power pellet, ate the ghost, the ghost went to the right hand side to regenerate and as you approached the right hand side it regenerated and killed you.

     

    The ghost always heads to the far side from where it was eaten, giving Pac-Man the maximum amount of time to get away. It's generally not a good idea to head towards the eyes without a power pellet nearby as the ghost will be back to full power again as soon as it hits the end of the maze.

     

    If that's not what happened, let me know exactly what happened so I can investigate. If you're able to record a video of your gameplay, even better.

     

    - James

    Thank you James and Tanya for playing again the game on @ZeroPage Homebrew twitch channel. I already fixed the 3 bugs you found and slowed down a bit the ball with the 8 shaped path.

     

    If you want to play again the game let me know and I'll send you the updated rom.

     

    It was a lot of fun racing the clock to finish the game on Saturday only to miss one puzzle piece. Damn... We definitely would love to have a rematch with Professor Elvin with the updated binary to try to defeat him! Thank you so much @Nop90!
