+-^CrossBow^- Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 @sramirez2008 did you backtrack through the levels on that run? I've not done that but do wonder why that one room shortly before the rock boss has you activate the spring boards on it at the end? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did backtrack a bit and those spring boards are required in order for you to successfully backtrack through that room. Its actually a neat feature.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Jump is definitely not high enough without the platform lifted to pass the spikes. I am with -^CrossBow^- though in thinking there may have been more to it or for activating that switch. So far though, it appears to strictly be for backtracking that one room. Though I did not discern a need to backtrack pass that room (or even to that room)...at least not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought my posting of run through vids wasn't appreciate by those that wanted the game to be more of a surprise? In fact, I even stated in a post that I wouldn't post any more vids of my play through on the game and would just post the single pics. 18 minutes ago, Jinks said: Got to like CrossBow's S$%t eating grin on the reflection on the screen above..? Yeah, that wasn't intended but I was pretty happy with my time overall on that run. I died several time and grabbed all the potions and hearts minus the secret potion.

I’ll be the first to admit that I took my time trying to complete the new beta, but you still completed your run in half the time it took me. #Gotta be the controllers!

Full disclosure: Were using the same controller.☹️ Most of the rooms can still be done in the same manner I did before with the exception of a few and I've not worked on the water levels enough to really find any quick short methods through those, so I do take my time on those screens. Before some of the changes were made, I knew I was on a good run time if I could get to the sword for the first boss within 00:37 on the game timer. But now it is more like 00:42 for me with the slight changes made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ongikong Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I'd really like to play that beautiful game on real hardware. I built an EPROM Cartridge last year, see here: Is it possible to get this game working on that particular cartridge PCB (of JINKS), maybe with a 256k-EPROM?

Trebor Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Finally had a chance to play Beta 10 through. A little shy of 14 and 1/2 minutes - not too shabby. The snail falls nicely between Donkey Kong's ancestor and the Octopus in difficulty. A much welcomed challenge and addition. Very well done. I like it a lot. Though, believe it or not, for me, the shinning stars in this release are the updated projectiles. It is amazing to me how a little touch and polish to something as 'simple' as those projectiles, being splashed with some blue and red color, makes a world of difference. It is one of the things I really look forward to, if not the thing I look forward to with every release, the refinements and updates. Sure, they could have been left as is, and yes the game would still be great. Updates to spikes, projectiles, the status area, castle walls, castle floors, platforms...the list goes on and on. Those kind of touches are what make such a professional looking product and 'finished feeling' game. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 This time on my actual 7800. No backtracking though as I didn't really require it on this run for any reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
