    Hmm.  Haven't had any success getting this game to run on my system (F18A+NanoPEB+FinalGROM).  Just outputs garbage character patterns to a blue screen for three or four seconds, then freezes. 


    I also have to disconnect my PEB for reliable play. Sometimes i can play the first level with the PEB connected, but usually not.

    It's strange because the balls were supposed to keep appearing on any levels starting with 10, and my tests show they do appear after level 20. I cannot play to level 20 myself, however. 
     
    If there is an issue I'm thinking of releasing a new version, and perhaps to add even more balls after level 20.


    If you would like a tester, I’d be happy to try it out.

    It it appears I have a console with a problem with the joystick port.   I can’t shoot to the left with the joystick.   I’m able to move left though.   I’ve swapped joysticks and swapped joystick port adaptors.   I’m using a backup console with no F18a now.   

     

    Any ideas?   It might be time for me to learn about the joystick port.

    Whoa that's insane! My personal best is like level 8 😁. I could have made levels 20-29 more difficult than 10-19 by adding more enemy balls, but I had no idea anyone would get that far.

    I noticed that on levels 10-19 there were balls on the vertical scrolling levels.    Those went away on levels 20+.

     

    it took a while to sink in, but I discovered that you could “pause” the game by stopping just before clearing X6 or X9 vertical scrolling levels.

    Fix spelling of “to” (was “too”)

    I had to give it one more go.   

     

    Score: 1006960

    Level: Unknown - went from A-Y (with J,K,Q and Z and maybe other letters missing) and then into graphics characters.

    Lives Remaining: 108

     

    I had to see what happens after going through all the letters on level.   Then i had to go to see what happens when you go over 100 lives.    Then i had to go over 1E6 points.   The game never crashed.   

     

    Needless to say, I reached the “tipping point” where I had every level figured out.   As i repeated them, i refined it even more.   I know PixelPendant is very near the tipping point.  I bet if he played 1-2 more times he could go as long as he wanted to.

     

    I’m not sure if I will play any more this month.   Thanks again to Rasmus for the awesome game.

    How many minutes, hours, days you were playing ?

     

     

    I am guessing just under 2 hours.   From the third inning of the Rockies - Giants game until about 10:10pm.

     

    i had to try to take pictures during the game because I was afraid of what would happen when I hit level 100.  

     

    What’s crazy is is that I’m still not sick of this game.

    How to pass level 5:

     

    I’ve been thinking about how to answer this.

     

    First of all, I can’t resist trying to get the 1up, so I try it nearly every time. And nearly every time I land on the triangle and die, losing the 1up I just got.

     

    To clear the level, the secret is to “chill out” and just focus on making the jumps to climb the platforms after the 1up. It seems that if I’m trying too hard to avoid the other balls, i screw up and hit one of them anyway - or miss the platforms.

     

    Not that you need any help with any video game.....but that’s how I do it.

    I also wanted to shout out a huge thank you to Nanochess for creating Borzork. I know I had a lot of fun playing that game last month.

     

    I didn't have my speech synthesizer hooked up for the first half of the month. What a treat it was to hear the voices and try to decipher what they were saying. I'm still not sure what they say when you leave the room...
