Wow, that's what I call a nice work. Thank you very much, Shocktrooper, this is very well done, mate Very Happy

The game really is brilliant. Not easy, but very very nice.

But where's your highscore with about 100'000 points, Shocktrooper? Wink

Thanks for the map Shocktrooper! That is exactly what i had in mind.
Today i have time to play more i think and this one will help alot.

As for unfair levels, take a look at A4 Rolling Eyes

So far i have managed to complete it only twice. In both cases by catching a powerup that removed all blocks at once.

You couldn't either, and that's what probably what's really bothering you Twisted Evil

Okay, okay.. Fun's gone on long enough now Smile

Of course (?) I didn't complete traz.. I just made screenshots of the whole game in warp mode with unlimited lives to create the map.. In fact, I'm only at about 40000 points so far. But like a lot of you, I got tired of choosing the wrong level, for example C3 Mad

so I made the map, and as a joke, posted the end screenshot with the score along.. Embarassed

I do like the game though, and I'm steadily progressing through it, also picking a nice position to start so that I can complete the most levels without running into serious trouble. So far the upper right seems nice.

Hrmph, looks like I've got very little chance of getting the last few points I need to take the entire compo Sad

... oh well, here's an update from me.

102,900

I misjudged how many spare lives I'd need on this screen since normally it doesn't cause too many problems, but apart from that all went swimmingly well.

This definitely isn't Krakout.. But at least to my idea I'm making some progress, as opposed to Operation Wolf, where I was stuck in the jungle at the beginning of the compo and still stuck in the jungle at the end of the compo.

That is one of the 'almost impossible' levels...

Here goes my first attempt at one of these competitions.

Most important thing is I'm beating Merman (he's my brother Laughing

)

Yeah, really tough one that. Best way to play it is to do your best not to have to use both bats at the same time: either play the ball almost vertically off the horizontal bats; or horizontally off the vertical bats.

Alternatively, just don't go there; this level is easily avoided on the map. I rarely attempt this level if iI have less than 9 lives.

shteev · Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2005 1:18 pm Post subject:

Quick word about the 2 player game if you haven't played it: if you get the chance, you really must. It's hellishly random, of course, each player controls half the bats on screen at a time, but control of the bats switches between players at random intervals.. FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER! Plus, even though you're basically playing co-operatively, you get independant scores: Each ball turns either red or blue depending on what color bat last hit it, and only that player scores for the bricks that ball takes out.

Great fun, tis!
