Swami Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I prefer the endless sea to the small square of land, also. Great game. Challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 There are still a few little things to do, the most important one being make the level select code a secret code. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Sorry about that, but some details bothered me.. changed some pixels and moved the tentacle slightly to the left, as to not be cut off and ruin the illusion ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 That's okay. I found a couple of bugs that I needed to get rid of. I thought the boss was too easy, so I added in the other smaller octopus. You start at it for testing. gosub20191027test.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In later boss stages you could add even 2 or 3 small ones.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Possible bug, from the 20191027 build. All maze levels before, and the maze level after, the below screen captured level had a key that needed to be obtained first before opening the treasure chest. The below level had no key, but I was able to complete it and move on (bonus round then next level) by just touching the treasure chest.

+atari2600land Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 I went back and worked on this again. I tested it. I tried to get all the way through but died on level 17. So sad I can't beat my own game! gosub20200505.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Looking good overall, Is this a "full" version that can be completed ? It would be nice if you mention my name somewhere on the title screen, eventually ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Yes, you can complete this version. All I know you as is "TIX". What is your name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Changed title screen and centered score scroll. You can't really make an x in this font I've been using, so I had to do it like this. gosub2020may6.zip 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Found a bug in the may 6 version pertaining to the key's location on the scroll. This has been fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 are you talking about this ? Easy way to rack-up the points, if you go to a corner with a straight corridor ahead of you, It's easy to camp there and wait for the octopus that keeps appearing on the opposite side and kill him repeatedly.. maybe a time limit or something like that will prevent that ?

+atari2600land Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Yep, that's what I was talking about. I fixed that. As for the points, I don't know why anyone would want to do that. Wouldn't that get quite boring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 It's an old arcade habit go for the score ! Not for me though.. so it doesn't bother me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm.. a vicious shark with friggen laser beam on his head would fix that after several minute goes by. It could use the sound from the Cave Sharks from Dragon Buster. Those scares the crap out of me. Or the Submarine would collapse onto itself due to water pressure getting higher. Who knows if the point value going to roll over to 0 or crash the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Seeing as how the goal of the game is to get to the end, and points are just used as a gauge to see how good you are at the game (like in Super Mario Bros.), I really don't see this as a big deal. I found and fixed another bug, this one pertaining to the Easter egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
