Northcoastgamer Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Like Pitfall Arcade, I have been wanting to play this one for awhile as well. Don't see a manual anywhere so we will play it by ear and on the fly together. Not sure about the Bonus Points either will see how it goes.

DuggerVideoGames Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 23,590 pts. A fun game once I figured out what I'm supposed to do, but holy crap, I can't tell you how many times I lightly tap the d-pad once only to see my cursor move 2 or 3 squares at a time! Controls are awfully sensitive in this game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmack36 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, jblenkle said: I have ZERO idea how to play this game. You basically have to move a shape to create 3 (or more) in a row in a vertical or horizontal direction. To move the piece you click on the one you want to move and then hold the direction you want it to move and then hit the fire button while holding that direction. In order for the piece to move it has to create a 3 in a row. To use the bombs you click on the shape with the bomb icon. This will clear the single block with the bomb and all of the blocks above it will fall down one spot. This demo is a little different in that in level 6 there is a countdown timer, but the gameplay mechanics are the same. The more matches you make the longer you will play as each match will add a little time to the timer. Edited March 23, 2020 by Bmack36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controls are awfully sensitive in this game. The controls are having me lean towards "broken" here. Even using keyboard arrows has the same effect. With the timer on skill 6, this results in a frustrating play. I'm also not a fan of how you move the pieces; plays counterintuitively. Case of, "learn how it controls", opposed to "controls how you'd expect". Shame ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really the only tip I can think of is that if you don't see any moves then hit the bombs until you see one. Hitting the bomb does give a very small amount of time back and gives you a little extra time to find a different move. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblenkle Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 OK, I kind of have this game figured out now, but I have a question. I was playing and suddenly got a message that said "NO MORE MOVES". At the time I had 23,040 points. But the board filled back in and it let me keep playing. I eventually got up to 37,000+ points before I finally ran out of time, but the Hall of Fame only shows me with 28,850. Anyone got any ideas what might have happened? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No More Moves" is part of the game. Kinda like reshuffling a deck of cards. Did you enter your initials for the 37k score and were you on Skill 6?

I'll stick with the 28,850 score. I'm sure I can get up there again now that I know what I'm doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) 45,630 Geeeezz... That took me like an hour. I need to figure out how to score more points, lol. I got the controls down but dang, this is slow goin'! I'm thinking maybe next time the no bombs option wouldn't take so long. Or maybe the options with no countdown -- it's game over whenever you reach "No More Moves". Edited March 27, 2020 by S.BAZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuggerVideoGames Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 100,130 pts. At first, I thought I'd be happy to get about 30k, but then found the game to be much easier than I thought it would be. My timer meter was almost full when I reached 100k and decided I'm done. I can't even imagine playing this game into the millions. The score rises so brutally slow. Some games I can enjoy sitting for a long time and playing. Although I like this game, this is not one of those games I could sit for hours and play. For the most part, I was able to see a few moves ahead; however, those huge combinations where pieces are suddenly exploding off the board... I felt like Inspector Clousseau when he bends over to tie his shoes and all the bad guys shot each other. ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
