PII | 1,886 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 @BeaIank It looks like there's a bonus level after the first 5 levels and then after every 4 levels following that. I also noticed that the Famicom version has different patterns than the North American release... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will still pause at the end of stage 16, which is a bonus level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-type | 2,483 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) This is my style of game. It’s got a steep learning curve so I’m not good at it yet. But puzzle? It’s an arcade action game! edit: score improvement Edited April 28 by G-type 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,026 Posted Sunday at 07:15 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:15 PM I don't know how people are so good at this. I'm not getting past level 5. It's infuriating how difficult the controls are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We deliberately put it in the Puzzle genre knowing that it is mainly an Arcade game, just because of the slight element of puzzle in it (creating an unknown form out of the coins). We do that sometimes to fill in more of the best suitable contest games in the different categories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriGuy82 | 771 Posted Sunday at 08:22 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:22 PM Just posted a score update. That's it for me on this one. That was a perfect on every bonus level and I killed as many of those urchins as I could. On one level I killed over 20 of them and burned through as many lives as I could.

I think when you get to the point in this game with the 2 sided rupees it becomes alot more like a puzzle game as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does indeed. And as Gui said, sometimes we take some liberties with the genres to bring in games that are more fun to the contest. And this one is plenty of fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaia Gensouki | 1,075 Posted Monday at 12:26 AM Share Posted Monday at 12:26 AM I was fully prepared to pass on this one since I absolutely didn't like it during my first testing sessions and never made it past level 5 no matter how many tries. However, something clicked today and I was making steady progress during the past 5 or 6 hours. I eventually got a lucky run and ended up with this score: Level 16 - 120,040 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
