Seconded. When I saw the announcement in status update I thought ROM purchases would also now be implemented. Leaving disappointed.

That's not going to happen until I get the store moved to completely new software.  Have wanted to do that for a while now, but it's going to be another time-consuming process like this year's forum upgrade.  Do plan on working on that early in the new year.

I want to make sure I have the latest Released Rom of this game for round 2 of the Harmony Games.
@Thomas Jentzsch, told me in another post that the finished version rom won't be available so is version 2 demo that was used in
Atari Awards this year the latest version or is the another  version.
He also told me to try wild 1 setting but I saw this mentioned

Quote

SPECIAL FEATURES (not in demo version)

The WILD modes add obstacles which can block your path, and changes enemy behavior. Try the fun of discovery!

Please help!

Sorry, I simply forgot that he final ROM is not released and that there is no mode selection in the demo.

 

For now, you have to play the demo, which most likely will result into a test of stamina. The difficulty maxes out soon and from then on you can play forever. Probably not a ROM well suited for a contest like this. Sorry again.

 

I will ask Al and Oscar about a release date for the final ROM. IMO the sooner the better, but there are probably good reasons to postpone further.

I remember playing the demo version on ZPH one show and I had to stop playing as it was too easy to keep looping the game forever. You'll probably have to get creative with the rules on this one. ?

How about highest points by level [x]? They can send in the picture/video of the level end summary on level [x].

i cant ever seem to get past that 1st little blue guy that kills you when he hits your tounge, even if tounge is fully retracted.  is there a way to kill those guys or how does that work

You can only kill them from behind. Or, they'll pass by your tongue harmlessly if the tip of the tongue is on a different floor.
