Have it all mapped out, pretty sure I can get it under 50% I got close! Have all the bypassable stuff mapped out. Only one missile you can't avoid but I can beat all the bosses, final one included, with the pea shooter so I'll be working on that next 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fun challenge! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Got the 3rd slot at 100%! Did this run in an hour and 51 minutes. First to beat it, first to beat it twice, first to beat it 3x on the cart and new world record speed run for one hundred percent 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.g. what is the shortest time someone can reach the end screen? Can it be done in less than an hour? Edited May 2, 2022 by rogneda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a room near the final boss and it has that damaging green liquid in it and deadly spikes. How do I get past it without taking significant damage? I've tried multiple things but either die on the spikes or in the green liquid. ? You're most likely missing a powerup. Spoiler Try searching the rooms in the lower left part of the map. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Yes, that^ I ran into the same situation and posted about it a few pages back. Scoured the map looking for a clue and found it pretty quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents Try searching the rooms in the lower left part of the map. Ok, so I've been back through every single room in the lower left part of the map and I haven't found any other power ups. I'm currently sitting at 90% with 31 missiles collected and I have the double jump, ball, bomb, triple shot, cannon shot and bomb/ball shield power ups. I also have the 'damage reduction' power up for the liquids. Is there another power up that I'm missing? Honestly, I'm going mad going back through all the rooms and I'm seeing nothing. ? I've attached a picture of the lower left of the map and all those rooms have been explored. Unless the 'damage reduction' power up for the liquid is the only one I get for that big room leading to the boss? Please someone PM me if you can, as it's honestly driving me mad. Haha!

MrGonker Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I’m stuck at the same point. I believe I need the continuous somersault upgrade as it shows this in the manual, but still haven’t found it so I will keep looking. As for the game bugs and freezing, I’ve not had any issues and my cartridge is the original and not v1.4 and my console is a K variant. The game is running just fine and at 88% had no glitches at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodoreCEO Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I've now completed the game and 100% too! The continuous somersault power-upnwas a tricky find but thanks need to go to @Saturnfor helping me find it! Please make a sequel to this game... It was excellent and has occupied all of my available game time recently. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evisu Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Not much time to play, but I'm currently at 41%. Beaten the "green slime monster boss" this night with my very last piece of life energy left and no missiles. Stupidly enough saved then my game ? Left the save room to grind somewhere health and missiles, but no spiders around. One hit = Game Over. Took me one our, a beer and probably 30 Game Over screens to make my way back to an earlier save room without being hit by something (the one with the spider cave on the left side) to grind stuff. Ready now to go back (means forward). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songbird Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 The factory area can be tough, especially depending on which powerups you are missing when you go through that area. The sewers can also be tough but at least there are a few health farms nearby which help mitigate the difficulty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Rat boss spoiler Spoiler Lead him back to the ledge where you entered the room all the way at the left of the arena. Stay on the ledge far to the left where the entrance is. He'll run toward you, turn and walk away a little but still be on screen. Move close to the edge of the ledge, jump and shoot. Some diagonal fire will hit him. Run back to the entrance (have to be quick or he'll run at you then run all the way to the other end of the arena) and wait for him to walk away the little bit. Repeat until he's toast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then fashion a few primitive spears and bows. Then drop your firearms and he'll challenge you to mano e mano combat. Finally, lure him under the counterweight to your traps and drop it on him. Just be ready to run if he starts laughing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 Hey, everyone! We're going to resume shipping with the V1.4 ROM. This version fixes the "K model crashes" (which were really software bugs related to uninitialized variables) along with the victory screen corruption experienced by a few customers. You can tell if you have the V1.4 ROM by seeing if V1.4 is displayed on the bottom center of the title screen. If you'd like to swap your cartridge for a complimentary replacement cartridge, please follow the instructions in the first post of this thread. Thanks to all of our testers who helped with the validation of the new ROM, and to everyone for being patient while we worked through this issue! 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
