8Bitjunkie Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 a) I wasn't going to post comments until the contest is over but I've got stuck on level 15. Is this doable? Is so perhaps a small hint b) I really hope we get lots of new levels for this as there's tons of potential. c) The movement is a little quick but you get used to it, however a non Atari friend played and struggled a bit; you might consider an easy option with everything slowed down a little. a) I have send you a PN b) So do i :-) c) good idea... check out www.talios.de/dimo on sunday for a new version...

IndusGT Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I see the new version, still 130 k, guess no way to split for 64k computers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I see the new version, still 130 k, guess no way to split for 64k computers... I just loaded up that big .ATR on Atari800MacX set to emulate a 48K OS/B Atari 800 and it worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) I have added this disk to my MyIDE Images and it runs perfect from MyBIOS. Not tested yet as ATR in the FAT32 portion.

_The Doctor__ Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 800XL NTSC main screen rock solid, Level text screen jumps. Plays fine until stones across water.. after you get off the ice and run across top of screen ghosted images appear.. I was still able to complete the level.. then teleport level.. able to just about complete level but game eventually crashed with screen corruption.. only a couple treats left when it happens.. I will try on 130XE next but figure I should report it to you Had fun with it. Jay Miner Amiga to Jay Miner 8 bit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 My best purcahse ever was a PAL 130XE which now has a U1MB, KB upgrade, soon a VBXE2, and most likely a Rapidus. EVERYONE that is "into" the 8-bits needs to have a PAL machine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnsey123 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I *LOVE* this game. The music is spot on, I love the little jingle when you die (it's sort of sad but in a sweet way). Haven't tried it on real atari yet (using Altirra). It's also very responsive. The animation of Dimo is good and the "ghosts" look cool. The puzzles get gently harder without being too taxing early on. Good use of color. Excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Have been playing the game for a few hours tonight. It's very cool! Thanks again, I really love this game. Runs fabulous on MyIDE ][ on MyBIOS. Very fast loading One thing: I'm in PAL land, and sometimes there is a slight issue with the player "Dimo"... somewhere else on the screen (on the same horizontal position, but lower or higher placed on the screen) there is sometimes a small line which is moving left + right together with Dimo. As soon as I move over that line with Dimo, it's gone. It happens usually when you walk into that blinking thing that moves you to another part of the level. Is that a known issue?

Level42 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Am I dumb to not be able to figure out Level 5 (I think it's 5, the one with the ice and rocks....). Playing the Abbuc version from their floppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Am I dumb to not be able to figure out Level 5 (I think it's 5, the one with the ice and rocks....). Playing the Abbuc version from their floppy I found that after a few more experimental goes on each level you can figure them out - sometimes it's a case of trying to see what else can you do... you've probably figured there are 3 items that let you traverse 3 types of elements. I can't remember what level 5 was but the 'rocks' may be pushed over the water and used to cross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
