coleco1981 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Sorry for the delay is getting this round up, I've changed the ending date to Wednesday. As you have noticed I stopped opening rounds on every Sunday. Life is just getting in the way of gaming! I hate when that happens! Game on!

TPR Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Sorry for the delay is getting this round up, I've changed the ending date to Wednesday. Can any thought be given to just making this one end on Sunday, March 13th to get back in the groove of having them end Sunday night? I sort of got used to that pattern. If not, that's fine as well... I can live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPR Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I really don't like this game. I played for a good couple of hours tonight and while I did manage to get past level two which was VERY FRUSTRATING I got to level 3 and found a number of places where I just had to let the timer run out and kill myself because there were areas where I was trapped. This game annoys me because it *looks* really nice. The sprites are colorful, it has what appears to be good game mechanics, but it suffers from monotonous gameplay, some horrible and unfair collision detection and puzzles that just don't seem like they are very fun. That being said, I managed to score a whopping 34,943 This part right here on level 2 was a bitch: It took me forever to figure out how to jump at an angle down to get the last painting. Seriously, on level 3 I basically just gave up. Grabbed as much stuff as I could to get points but just got totally bored by the game and stopped trying. On to next week.

digress Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I found it pretty fun. I guess it would have been nice if security & dogs came looking for you when you trip an alarm. A bit frustrating for sure but much better than I would have guessed. I can see how to get that last painting on level 2 now as you mentioned. I really don't like this game.

jblenkle Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yeah, that last painting on Level 2 is tough to get. I've done it before, but getting the angle just right is hard and if you miss there isn't time to go back around and try again. I really don't like this game.

TPR Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yeah, that last painting on Level 2 is tough to get. I've done it before, but getting the angle just right is hard and if you miss there isn't time to go back around and try again. I had 10 seconds to spare and I did it. This was on like my 4th or 5th try. I was at the point where I thought to myself "If I don't get it this time, I'm just going to end it right here..." This is one of those cases where I think a little bit more tweaking of the gameplay to make it slightly less frustrating would have made this just a a FANTASTIC game because everything else about it looks so good on this system.

Northcoastgamer Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 153,434. If you are moving left or right into a redball screen (especially on level 3), upon entering the screen, don't move. The redball can't get you while graham is on either edge of the screen. Let it pass, THEN make your move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
