+therealbountybob Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Now Guys here's what's odd - I got to level 11 but didn't get all the gold as I was distracted trying to decide if the level was doable (ok I died ) I didn't checkout the bottom left of the screen, which seems to be where the problem is looking at atariron and McKong's screenshots)... but I then started up on Level 11 from the menu and it was possible! Perhaps one of you can re-play, see if the screen design is the same, and then start on 11 and see how far you can get - I thought from my distant memory that it was level 13 that was impossible. My other thought is that the levels have an element of random design and this has a bug????? 73,650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although thinking about it there may just have been another ladder missing near the top of the level that gave me this impression Edited March 2, 2012 by McKong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 13,970 was wondering IF you get the time if you could play the re-released version you had on tape and see if the level 11 is still missing that ladder Seems that the game gets much tougher and better from level 10 so I'm thinking this IS a bug; the programmer's gone to a lot of trouble to add the extra features not to have them used for more than the odd level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.atarimania.com Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) FYI, all three releases - Creative Sparks / Sparklers / Alternative Software - are 100% the same.

Improved 63290 Great Score DieMON I'm assuming you must have got to the end too I'm feeling generous so I've increased the other scoring as we have a few people completing the game(c'mon Scalak you can do it ) VOTE for ROUND 4!
