atariksi Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Lucked out and got the diamond on the second level. That diamond seems like a "random" event. I got that diamond when I was about eat the last fruit, but that's another thing that can help finish a level faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there's a limit... you can end the level by killing all enemies. You can also end it by getting all cherries, getting the "Extra" bonus, or getting the diamond.

Divya16 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 57 seconds Using Atariksi's method of trying to get extra in 3rd level. 64 seconds but it should have been much less as I missed the letter on my first shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariksi Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 57 seconds I am closing in on that. However, I was just having a great game with over 40K w/o losing a man and the program crashed. Anyone else have issues in this program hanging up? I am using XEX file. I think I'll try the ATR next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariksi Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'm making a lot of use of the reset key 58 seconds! I think about 1-2 seconds is do-able on level 3. Just have to throw the "beachball" at the "ice-cream truck" at the start of the 3rd level to get the extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else have issues in this program hanging up? I am using XEX file. I think I'll try the ATR next. Yes, the ".xex" version gets corrupted over time. At least all the ones I've used. Some time before it crashes there is always a two-digit number in front of the "Scene #/Top Score" area on the lower right. I believe the ".atr" version exhibits this same problem. It is probably the same cracked binary, just put on a disk. For this reason I always play the ".atx" version when I want to play a serious game.

I can't deal with .ATX as I am uploading stuff through a PC cable and my software is simple raw data at 19.2Kbps or 59Kbps and both rates gave crashes eventually using XEX files.

+therealbountybob Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 202,850 Look's like you're hooked on Mr Do! I'd better play some more as you're getting too close for comfort. A couple more tips for everyone: you get 500 for shooting the bad guys but 1000 for splatting them with an apple (who said they were good for you?) if you're cunning you can leave the last cherry near the apple, push it off onto the (last) baddie and then get the cherry mid fall to get maximum points. The diamond nets you a cool 8K so if you see it, go for it :!: And what's happended to Mr.A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atariksi Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm making a lot of use of the reset key 58 seconds! How about making the top 3 times get one point and the top 1 get an extra point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
