Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I got my participation score in, so I'm done. I won't have nearly enough free time this week to try and clear the game again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krunch | 303 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 This is a cool game, when I did my first paring down of collection it made the cut and all subsequent ones so I still got it. Like other Romstar releases I like the chunkiness of the sprites and the sound. Anyway I always found it pretty damn hard I'm not surprised people are struggling so far, YOU especially who is reading this seem to be really really struggling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,017 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) The second level octopus seems unfair. Sometimes it's unavoidable and if the ball is too far away while slowed down then there's nothing you can do.

I honestly think this would be a great game if you could use some sort of analog control. Even the arcade version uses a left/right joystick instead of a rotary analog, according to klov. I don't know what they were thinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I managed to clear this after all. That's an entire morning that I won't get back. I even beat my score from 2015 even though I'm not sure what I did different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey that might help. http://archive.nes.science/nintendoage-forums/nintendoage.com/forum/messageviewe82e.html?catid=31&threadid=155668 @BriGuy82 and @arnpoly should join in this week and get one of their friendly bets going. I bet they could both clear this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beat @bertsampson for the 2015 arcade genre championship by 1 point because of this game. I would hate to waste an opportunity to bring that up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
