+McCallister Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Upped my score, but could not quite finish it out Score: 315,914. Another interesting aspect of this game is how the level progression changes the game. A couple of levels change from "doable with patience" to "relentlessly challenging." It's like the hardest level changes throughout the game. Not sure if it's intentional or not, but it certainly keeps the entertainment level high. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Upped my score, but could not quite finish it out Score: 315,914. Nicely done! My problem is I get too impatient on some of the levels and end up falling to my death. What I've been doing to get past them is to pause the game (toggle TV Type or hit PAUSE if playing on a 7800) for a little bit at the start of those levels in order to calm down. Another interesting aspect of this game is how the level progression changes the game. A couple of levels change from "doable with patience" to "relentlessly challenging." It's like the hardest level changes throughout the game. Not sure if it's intentional or not, but it certainly keeps the entertainment level high. One of the issues with the original Stay Frosty was insufficient time for play testing, so the level progression wasn't very good. We spent a lot of time on that for SF2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 45,221 lots of fun getting better... liking the tunes, and liking Frosty's facial expressions! too many snowmen have I lost trying to get this snowflake: never again!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Frosty's slippery physics are usually the cause of my deaths in higher levels, particularly in level 10 at the lower level when the screen scrolls. I tend to slide right off the ledge. But it makes perfect sense as he is a melting snowman. Tip #3 for Level 9 is the best one of the 3. Thanks!

+SpiceWare Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) too many snowmen have I lost trying to get this snowflake: My tip in reply #3 about the broom/double-jump needs to be revised a bit - instead of tap then hold, use press then hold where press is holding the button down longer than you do for just a tap. Basically press the button until the snowman gets past the upper platform, else he'll bounce off it, then release and hold the button a second time until he lands: Use the same press then hold when collecting the present on the second half of that level. Use the level selector to practice level 15. Edited July 17, 2015 by SpiceWare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arenafoot Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 There's a way to start on a specific level so you can practice it without going through all the prior levels: Level Selector Easter Egg - hold the left joystick in any direction when turning on the Atari. To trigger it in Stella, right-click on the SF2 ROM and select POWER-ON OPTIONS: Screen Shot 2015-07-15 at 9.07.44 AM.png Check any direction for the LEFT JOYSTICK then click LOAD ROM Screen Shot 2015-07-15 at 9.07.50 AM.png Level Selector: Screen Shot 2015-07-15 at 9.08.12 AM.png To use the Level Selector: Move joystick up/down to select the LEVEL option Move joystick Left/Right to change level by 1 hold FIRE + move joystick Left/Right to change by 10 Move joystick up/down to select START Click FIRE to start game on selected level on Stella 4.0, I've been able to click the ROM and hold down the "down arrow" when it starts up to get the Level Selector menu (without having to go into the options). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
