MGS Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 5,468 This game is quite enjoyable. It definitely has some issues I could critique, but, in the end, it's enjoyable to play, and that's really all that matters. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Takes some getting used to, timing-wise. Any control tricks apart from pressing the button I should know of? First score: 945. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 What does pressing the button do? I didn't even use it when I played 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGS Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Gorfy: Pressing the button gives you a speed burst, but it also drains the clock/bonus faster. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabbler15 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 6820 It seems like the first screen is harder than the rest, which is out of the norm for an Atari game. The first screen doesn't have much speed differential between the columns. The later levels usually have one or two columns that move super slow, which is ideal for hovering back and forth in that column until the rest of the way becomes clear. . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+McCallister Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 9087 Another delightful 'brew! Fantastic music, too, which sounds amazing coming from the 2600. Glad this game got picked to play. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGS Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) It seems like the first screen is harder than the rest, which is out of the norm for an Atari game. The first screen doesn't have much speed differential between the columns. The later levels usually have one or two columns that move super slow, which is ideal for hovering back and forth in that column until the rest of the way becomes clear. I agree this is odd, and, at first, I didn't like it. Now, however, I'm starting to enjoy the idea because it means that having a good first board is what can set up a good game (provided you get through the next few too), which is unlike other games where you do the same easy boards over and over before you can start practicing the tougher levels.
