LordKraken Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone! To celebrate the end of the year (and there are reasons to be happy this year in particular), we have decided not only to release a special edition of RED, but also to organize a small competition to give you a chance to win a unique edition of the alpha version of RED on a physical cartridge! This alpha version will never be released elsewhere, not even digitally.. So how does this competition work? Well it's fairly simple: Download RED - Green Edition from this devlog post or the main itch.io page and play it on your Lynx or in your favourite emulator. Finish the game: The goal is to finish with as least deaths as possible. This version has 24 levels only but you will die a lot eventually. Note that compared to the jam, this GREEN version features slightly modified graphics, bug fixes, and faster loading/transition between levels. Winner Once you are satisfied with a run, report your final score along with the validation code to this thread on AtariAge. Note that you can update your entry if needed. The winner will be the player with the least amount of deaths. In case of identical scores, the first poster will be the winner. End of the competition The competition ends on Sunday, the 17th of January, Pacific Time. I will reach out to the winner and send him the latest version of RED, on a physical cartridge with a certificate of authenticity. Enjoy and a Happy New Year!

LordKraken Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Sweet, the cart is going to Italy for now, but there is a lot of time left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I want to suggest two possible changes to the final version of the game: - add a hard mode with one or more tiles in every level that, if you walk on one of them, make the blades increase their speed for that level - add a crazy mode where if you die after taking the key, you lose it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 DEATHS 44 VALIDATION 4650 He He!!!!!!!! @LordKraken your game is really addictive and adding the final score makes this little game even better. LynxMas 2020 wasn't a competition, but IMHO you did the best one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing on the online emulator and on my Freeplay CM3 (but the best scores are with the online emulator). My son can't play with the keyboard arrow keys so he is playing on my RPI3 with a PS3 joy. Using the joy the game isn't easier (I tried with bad results) but my son is a Playstation addicted and can control it very well. My best score at the moment is: DEATHS 20 VALIDATION 3162 Very close to my son, but I can't make better than this for the moment.

LordKraken Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 My own personal record is 27, playing on a pocket-go (a quite cool mini retro console with a great screen, perfect for lynx emulation). I'm way worse playing from Handy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odie_one Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Really impressive the score of 8! Bravo! I will try to improve at least my score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give up, when I made 41 I thought it was a great score, but it can be beated easily once you know the game. If you scored 41 you should know all the safe points for most of the levels and most of the deaths should be in levels 22 and 23. Calm down before starting to play, try to reach level 22 with only 2 deaths and cross the fingers in that two crazy levels. Competition is still open.

+jgkspsx Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Man, I haven't even downloaded the new version yet and that score looks unbeatable. I guess I'll have to try, but I'll be happy if I can get under 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyo Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Hello I managed to go down to 10 but this is a lot of effort to memorize the right positions and moves to do for level above 20... i started to take notes... let's see if the record is beatable in the coming days! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
