Gorfy Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 A refreshing quickie after the long, arduous (but fun!) Pressure Cooker 1st submission: 1,718 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoomUnit Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 First impressions:I like the simplicity of the idea, but the execution is just downright frustrating. The lack of a reset is a huge oversight--nothing says "fun" like forcibly crashing a bunch of ships in order to start the game again. And a game in which I'm ALWAYS on the clock--wheeeee!The only redeeming thing about the game so far is that it's a quickie to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) BONUS My Homebrew fave: Raster Fahndung A lesser-known, but very fun homebrew by Simon Quernhorst. It requires the player to work against the clock to find specific patterns within a large jumble of patterns. ROM: http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=2776 My score: 452 (Game 1 BB) Edited May 25, 2015 by Gorfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) After missing the whole Pressure Cooker contest, here are at least my participation points for JÖRGEN. A game that's definetly hard to control with the cursor keys. 1,135. Edited May 25, 2015 by karokoenig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 3305 It's the little skull flea thing that wears me out. That and the big horrible demon face. Great game, definitely wants a joystick. This D-pad will be the death of me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Monday is June 1st, not 2nd. oops I meant Sunday! thanks Deadline is Sunday, June 2nd ...Oystron rocks! J.O.R.G.E.N. 4689 fun starting over & trying again, this one. that was a problem for me with Pressure Cooker, after playing I didn't feel like starting over. the 3rd level is madness! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Woah. Monster score! Well done, S.BAZ! Makes my improvement seem pitiful! 003468 Those two extra zeroes in front of the score are just cruel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 J.O.R.G.E.N. - 3,305 For favorite homebrew, I'm going with Space Raid (tough choice, but it's the one I'm playing the most right now). 363 points. Is J.O.R.G.E.N. the first batari basic game HSC has played? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 For bonus, I played a pretty obvious choice: Space Rocks. Because it's brilliant. And the score of 33,020 (default settings) should be pathetic enough for someone here to beat it with one hand tied to his/her back. So go get the extra point . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
