vdub_bobby Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) A quick tip; probably obvious, but - it took me a while until I realized: you only get points for collecting stars! EDIT: Whoops! That's wrong; sorry. Here's what I've figured out so far: Running into green pillars makes items pop out: the little rocket gives you the ability to shoot, the little potion lets you get hit without dying, and the mushroom kills (?) you. You get points for shooting enemies and collecting stars; the stars don't show up until 1-2. Grab the little white balloon to go to a bonus round.

ratfink Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Played it a few times. Never saw any stars. Never scored any points. Oh well. Maybe it's cooler with the 3D glasses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) Only got as far as 1-4 so far. 8,400 Edited September 28, 2008 by vdub_bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) 32,600 What an interesting game. I have never played it before. An obvious Space Harrier clone but with enough unique elements to make it different. I discovered, quite by accident, that you're supposed to run into those solid columns to get the goodies inside, besides the deadly mushroom. How anti-Mario. (Guess I should have read the above post which explained all of that.) This game makes me want to get the 3-D glasses now.
