Brian O Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Has anyone finished the game? I just died many horrible deaths on level 5. -B Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/193297-blinky-goes-up-formerly-giana-bros/page/6/#findComment-2582403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I did. I got two endings, I think there are three but I couldn't finish yet without dying. I'll try it again.

Actually there are two endings. The normal ending and a slightly different one when you played a perfect game, i.e. collect every gold nugget and don't loose a life - it's hard but doable Have fun!

Actually there are two endings. The normal ending and a slightly different one when you played a perfect game, i.e. collect every gold nugget and don't loose a life - it's hard but doable Have fun! I was wrong. I had only one ending before posting now. I thought I had two because I cut the ending by continually pressing fire button in the first time I finished the game. So I thought you had a non ending if you die and don't take all bonus. Now I've seen the perfect ending but I cheated with saves to check it... EDIT--> Yeah, I've made it! Got the perfect ending without saves.

KevinMos3 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Thanks for the airwalking tip! That's a really cool feature. I've now finished the game and seen both endings including the "perfect" ending on real hardware with the harmony cart.

Junosix Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 What a brilliant game! Really playable, only had time to check out the first couple of levels but I'll give it more attention later on.

I think "Blinky Goes Up (formerly GIANA BROS)" is a much better title. Any moderators here, who can help?

BassGuitari Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 How about just "Blinky" or "Blinky's Adventure" or something like that? "Blinky Goes Up" sounds a little like the title of a book for toddlers to me. (Just opinion. Take it for what it's worth. ) The game is fantastic!

KevinMos3 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I plan to upload a video of a perfect game on real hardware. Only problem is I'm on dialup, so I'll have to wait till I go to the library or something. Different subject: This game is begging for a level editor. Imagine the community creations that could come of it, keeping the game fresh and expandable. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/193297-blinky-goes-up-formerly-giana-bros/page/6/#findComment-2596111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the community creations that could come of it, keeping the game fresh and expandable. A level editor would, indeed, be great. Is that possible, at all? Of course this is possible. In fact I do have a level editor. The thing is, that it's just a developer tool - it was a quick hack intended to be used just by myself and therefore is not very userfriendly. But as a said earlier in this thread, I plan to release the source code to the public domain after the cartridge release. So maybe someone else is interested in doing a leveleditor then...

toymailman Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hi Thorsten, thank you for pointing to the Gameswelt.tv interview - I probably had never seen it because I lost their business card. If you want to buy a cart, feel free to register yourself at http://www.lov3machi...inky/index.html Jan I would like to get the cart box and manual, but how do I register? I didn't see the link.
