FWIW, continues are implemented by starting from a different bridge from the start screen, so it can’t be both start at level 1 and continues allowed. Unless there’s some huge point bonus for beating the game, though, I think there is no way to even be competitive if you don’t start from bridge 1.

 

Particularly great music on this one, @Songbird! Quite a variety too.

 

I did notice an extremely minor bug… not sure how I caused it. Bad sram write?

So the "minor bug" is the current score is 10 points higher than the high score? I haven't seen that before. What value do you see for high score after reboot?

 

Thanks for the kind words on the music! I really enjoyed writing all of those tunes and giving some variety both to the regular gameplay and the boss battles.

Good points; I think people will naturally just figure this out as they play.  The highest score you can muster wins the round!

Wow, I was not expecting to be top of the pack after my first try! :D Note that I did not reach bridge 23 on this try; that was from a previous game a long time ago. On this run I started on bridge 1, beat two bosses, then died probably at bridge 12 or so.

 

13500

You definitely need to keep progressing; it's really fun to take on the later bosses.

 

We intentionally wanted to give people multiple ways to play. You can start at bridge 1 and go for high score, continue from your last bridge to keep pushing to the next one to "beat the game" at bridge 20, or push it to the limit from bridge 21 with no saves.

Do you guys like the "file folder" look of the copyright & instruction screens? That was my idea in keeping with the anachronistic theme. :) 

Yes; fits the game perfectly! Windows 3.1 sort of feel :) 

 

Can you shoot the tanks on the sides of the river, is that possible; or are you just trying to avoid them?

Great round everyone!  Congrats to @Songbird for the new high score; which has been added to the Lynx High Score tables. 

 

Congrats to the season winners:

 

#1:  @Rick Dangerous (by sheer virtue of steady participation)

 

#2: @doctor_shred a strong competitor in this and Jaguar HSC's!

 

#3: @jeremiahjt a perennial strong player also!

 

I hope you guys all enjoyed the quite lengthy "mini season" and now I hand things back over to @roadrunner for the Lynx HSC.  It has been fun; and I look forward to playing and perhaps guest hosting in the years ahead again.  In the meantime come see us over at the Jaguar HSC where i will remain host.  Cheers, and congrats again the winners (everyone who participated and had fun!!)

Well it's very labor intensive and time consuming...but i'm up for it!  Gotta have the Lynx HSC. 

 

I'll tell everyone what; i'm moving to South Carolina this weekend, so the next week or two will be a little hectic.   Lets take a short break, and when time allows i'll get things in gear and start up another season.
