+DZ-Jay Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) @ebelhaki: Congratulations! You just saved Christmas! Way to go! You've graduated to the Top Elite Helper Elves blocked, and bumped down Oscar G.! @JasonlikesINTV: Great stuff! Frosted Maze is rather easy: remember that when you pick up a snowflake, the Snowman changes directions. One hint is to work on the edges of the maze and stay close to the tunnel; when the Snowman is near, just jump in the tunnel--unless he is right on your back, he won't follow. I believe Scalpel posted a walkthrough video of it last year, or perhaps it was Liduario? I'll try to dig it up. Still awesome progress on your achievements. Leaderboard updated.

+DZ-Jay Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Christmas Carol Fun Fact: Frosted Maze was the second level designed for Christmas Carol. It was created by star Intellivision programmer and President of Left Turn Only Productions, Joe Zbiciak. Joe also programmed the Intellivision home-brew classics 4-Tris and Space Patrol. Joe designed Frosted Maze using a level editor he whipped up on the fly that ran on his Intellivision, using Christmas Carol's tiles and structures. As he explained it, he was toying with the idea of straight platforms that channel the Snowman's wobbly path, forcing him in one direction or the other. In practice, I found it worked really well as a challenge--and when I changed the look of the tiles to the current stalactite shape, it all fell into place. Back at the very early stages of Christmas Carol, we intended to include the level editor in the cartridge ROM, and use Flash RAM to let players store their custom levels. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, this was one of the cool ideas that did not make it into the game, along with a persistent high-score board. I still have the level editor, and perhaps I'll polish it some day and release it as a ROM download. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

+DZ-Jay Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 @Oscar G.: Great work! If that is what you are getting by just playing during your commute, I'm impressed. @LidLikesIntellivision: OMG!!! That is an awesome score! You're still a few thousand behind your last record from 2012, but it is still a fantastic progress. By the way, you don't have to start your 12 Days Of Christmas Carol today, since you posted yesterday; so you have now 2 days. @Gorfy: FANTASTIC PROGRESS! Wow! I was just telling my wife that a mere week ago, you submitted your first score of 55 points, and look at it now! Don't get discouraged, you're almost done saving Christmas... only a couple more levels and you join the ranks of the Top Elite Helper Elves! Leaderboard updated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't really play the game, but since she had to suffer through its development, she would tell you that she's lived it. -dZ. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 @Darrin9999: Keep bringing in those achievements. Even if you don't get a higher score, it's OK.

+DZ-Jay Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 @mphokie: Little little, I'm sure you'll get there! Great progress, though! @S.BAZ: I could not see either in the database nor in the leaderboard that you had been attributed the Perfect Christmas achievement. It could have been a transient error where I messed something up in the leaderboard script. In any case, it is correct right now. I do appreciate your honesty. Your new score brings you closer to JasonlikesINTV's talons... you're very close! Keep cracking! -dZ. Leaderboard updated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for pointing that out... sorry, it was an error. It was meant for Fushek, and I have edited the post. You're still doing great, and you're still kicking butt with your achievements. Keep it going! Nice work. -dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I've added a new feature to the leaderboard: It now displays the number of achievements each contestant has earned, as well as the number of consecutive days they have played. This last bit is the days counted towards the 12 Days Of Christmas Carol achievement. I thought it would be useful to tell this information at a glance. Enjoy! -dZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
