Jason_Atari Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 62,400 smurf.png Hmm... If 999,900 is the maximum score, I guess it's possible more than one player rolls the game. This is my first try. Curiosity: This is a new homebrew game for Intellivision inspired by Smurf. In fact, if smurf wasn't copy righted, it would be the Intellivision smurf version. How did you get that score? You sure you're playing on the right settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacey Invader Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 14,300 This level 3 business is going to kill me. Word. Whole different game. This is after about 10 tries. Sometimes that pogo double jump thing works beautifully, and other times it leaves me stranded just barely hopping in front of an evil bird thing. Anyone read the manual? Love how the "disappearing fences" are due to black magic, not the number of objects on the 2600 at a given time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 How did you get that score? You sure you're playing on the right settings? Actually, it's kinda of easy. I know by heart the points from where you must jump and my 'pogo double jump' always works for me (just press up when you land - wait about 1 sec or duck and you'll have to do the first vertical jump again). Yes, BOING, BOING and SKILL 3! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Actually, it's kinda of easy. I know by heart the points from where you must jump That's right. At skill 4, the speed of the enemies maxes out and there are move patterns which work most of the time. In fact, I deliberately didn't start at the highest level to throw you guys off at least a little . What I find fun, though, is that there is still a semi-random element. Meaning that the enemies don't always have the same pattern. The eagle in the stairs level for example sometimes flies so high that my move pattern gets screwed and usually I'm too slow to react. Either I need lightning-fast reflexes or I need to figure out another pattern that may always work. Lid, you mentioned rollage. I think it is possible to roll the score for quite a few people here. Took me roughly 10 minutes to reach 50k during testplay. It would take maybe 3 hours to reach 999,999. This raises two issues: 1. I don't want to make you guys play this game for such a long time. This is supposed to be fun, not work. So I will consider 500k a rollage. 2. what do I do when several people roll? Everyone who can take this game for so long deserves a prize. Of course I don't have countless Dschungel Boy carts, but I am sure I will find something of equal "value" in my collection. I think I can find 5 items - just in case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KaeruYojimbo Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 New personal best, 43,000. I don't think anyone else has posted this, but I've noticed that single jumping an obstacle is always 300 points and double jumping is always 400, regardless of the actual obstacle, so I double jump everything, even if I don't have to, for the extra 100 points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) My life is fulfilled, hehe... New score: 101,500. I think I never reached the 6-digits mark as a kid. Will be interesting if anyone gets near rollage. Playing this now up to 100k, I think there are certain situations where you will lose a life. And since there's no extra lives except at 10k...

karokoenig Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) 96,800 Another little improvement and a video to share. Ouch, lol... you really died in an unexpected moment right there - an so close to the 100k mark. Gotta love the stupid kind of deaths. The video was flickering madly and really hurt my eyes, but I found interesting that we use similar patterns in most screens. Your pattern in the river scene was slightly different. Got to experiment with that. Edited December 6, 2014 by karokoenig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 132,200 Skill 3. Greetings folks, allow to me join in the fray. Indeed there are some silly deaths in this one. Was just under 80k before losing my first life, by a spider, gah. It's all about hitting your marks and timing. Practice on Skill 4 relentlessly if possible, the game doesnt get any harder. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Welcome to the match, NCG. I was wondering when you'd show up to raise the bar for the rest of us :-). It's funny. Just as Lid in his 96k run, you also died in a moment where I would never have expected a death to happen. Got to stay on your toes in this one. So there you go, folks. We have a new leader on the board and still 10 days to go. Let me see some blue on blue action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacey Invader Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 15,000 Having a Smurf of a time with this one. Everything speeds up pretty drastically and I can't even seem to reach the snakes in the second run through. Have to watch some of the posted videos above, the patterns I use in the first run fall flat after that first smooch with Smurfette. At this rate of improvement I should hit 50k sometime next spring. Ah, Smurf it all anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanClassic Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 This game is smurfy. I just smurfed the hawk, but it smurfed me in the smurf. Smurf: RGC - 27,600 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
