JellE Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Is anyone else having a problem with the ROM not keeping a score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'm having a problem figuring out how to play the game. Any instructions out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellE Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Well, from what I understand you try to get the pink gumballs in the pink trolley, and the blue ones in the blue trolley. It doesn't do anything if you miss, but if you get the wrong color in the wrong trolley this little man comes out shaking his fists and dumps the "offending" trolley out. The fire button will allow you to change the direction of the gumballs coming out, kind of like a flipper in pinball. That is what I have gotten from the game so far... but I have met my quota, and am not getting any points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+poobah Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) Ok, here's what I got: left/right: move bins up/down: release balls faster/slower fire: flip gates Match ball to bin Need to collect at least the quota of gumballs. To get credit: hit right until the carts are at the right of the screen, and they will get sucked out of the bins and scored. Dont get wrong ball in bin. Doesn't seem to be a penalty for dropping them on floor or exit tube, though i have noticed my quota increase, haven't determined what makes it do that. You have to grab your screenshot quick at the end of the game before it goes back to attract. Sad score, but lets get it started: 7,530 Edited October 26, 2008 by poobah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) In level 4 (I think) a "bomb" comes out and an alarm starts to beep.....what the heck am I supposed to do with the bomb. It always ends with it blowing up and Game Over. Edit: Oh and: 11580 Edited October 26, 2008 by Trooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellE Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 To get credit: hit right until the carts are at the right of the screen, and they will get sucked out of the bins and scored. AHA!! This explains why my score is always 0. I didn't know this part of it! Thanks a bunch poobah!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellE Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Okay... so I wasn't fast enough to get a screenshot... gotta find a better way! I got 6550 after about the 10th time. Level 3 really kicked my butt!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 4,790 Multitasking is definitely not one of my strong points. In fact I'm not even certain how I got so high of a score as this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I just wanted to say, I'm playing these games on my PSP so I am not able to get a screenshot that easily. Hope this is not a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+poobah Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 A very challenging game. Nice of them to change the color positions on the different levels! Ok, blue, oh, crap, thats where the orange goes now, aieeee! 10,240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Ah, I found it Apparently Gumball was played in an earlier HSC When the "bomb" shows up press space to get a crosshair on screen, move it over the bomb and it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Couldn't work out why the score wasn't showing at the end of the game, then realised it was due to my lack of skill to get on the score board Can I enter my all time scores If not just the 26,390 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cephallus Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Wow, cool, I have never played this game before! It is *very* challenging for me...I'll post a score after a couple dozen games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
