Coolcrab Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Added small update to fix a game glitch. Other then that Packrat got 40 boxes for the game and we got a special patch that can be won by getting 20 points on the game! The world record at the moment is 22 (by me) so lots of space for improvement.

Coolcrab Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Yea it wasn't meant to go so low. (As telescopes usually don't either. It might have been good to allow in hindsight, but it's too late now ) Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/270313-done-astronomer-development-thread/page/6/#findComment-4211104 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 UPDATE!! PATCH ACHIEVED!! After many attempts yesterday I was able to finally get the Astronomer patch with 22 points! I switched from the paddle controller to the joystick and increased my score by quite a bit due to the single click precision of the movement. Although there was some time lost in being not able to whip around to the next star each round with the paddle, it was more than made up for in being able to keep the star in the precise beam of the telescope with the joystick.
