Just wanna make sure I get a score in before the deadline! On the one hand, I'm slowly improving, but on the other hand, I don't think I have the patience to put the time into improving.

Also, how do I switch to snowboarder mode? I vaguely recall that mentioned somewhere once upon a time, but I can't remember. Does it affect gameplay at all?

Completed Peter Pan and the Pirates!

Just in case I don't get to post another score by tonight. I kept trying to use the shoulder buttons on my GBA as flippers

Completed Disney's Darkwing Duck for the second time (first time this year). Played on Game Boy Player. Livestream here:

Well, my actual high score just now was 334,940 (stage 3) but I couldn't pause in time to get a photo, and then I was basically done. Unfortunately I couldn't try this out until an hour ago because of a stomach bug going through my family. The game isn't too bad, but the hardest thing was holding down the A button the whole time; it might be better playing on something better than a GBA SP, or if they had made B accelerate and A jump--I'm finding it actually painful to play it for long! I also should have looked at the manual first, because I think the power-ups are key. Ah well. Happy New Year!

Oh, and I see I grabbed an old Post-It in my haste as well. That should say "ecmyers"

Game Over

Good grief, I can't get the hang of this in hard mode! I'm also about to go mostly offline through the 30th, so I think this will just be my participation score. I can't see how I'll ever reach 1,000 points anyway.

I'm actually glad to see that someone is sticking with original hardware for these contests!  If it wouldn't have killed participation, I would have made that a requirement.

Oh, well if you want original original hardware...

I've been kind of curious about biverting an original DMG at some point, but I do find the GBA to be my favorite form factor, which is why I did the 101-screen mod on that. Though playing on the Game Boy Player is also a really nice option.

Running out of time yet again, but I'm really glad I was introduced to this title. I like it quite a bit! I'm having a little trouble with the Stage 4 boss, but I'm sure I'll complete it soon. Just not in time for this contest.

Thank you, yes! That would be awesome!

I would have gone with my social media username (ecmyers) instead of my actual name.

Fun game! I only just discovered you can blow on the bubble continuously by holding down the A button. The way you rotate around the bubble keep messing me up though. I wish I could spend all night playing it, but alas, I must move on with my life. Thanks for the tip on the pink palette, @Splain.

BTW, does anyone know how to change your username on this forum?

Once again I need to find some way to play this. It's not available on 3DS so I may be SOL on it. I'd prefer not to shell out $35+ on a puzzle game that I'm going to suck at.

Actually, it's more about blowing.

Alas, I didn't have much time to play this week, and my first run (the first time I've played this since I was a kid!) was my best. Played on Game Boy Player with a CARBY video adapter for HD output. (The first photo is from captured video, because I didn't know about the Post-It requirement, and the second is from the actual TV.)

And don't judge me because I've played hello kitty world. It was with my daughter, I swear. 

Hey, Hello Kitty World is a great game! It's basically a colorized, reskinned Famicom port of Balloon Kid on Game Boy.
