After a lot of goes I reach the disappearing platforms on level 4 but can't figure this out, the only way past the ball is over to the disappearing platform and on here you can only jump left to the platform?? The controls could be much better - my Block on Legs game I addressed most of these e.g. momentum on short presses making game less twitchy, jump/turn etc so for fun, use the cheats to explore the game: "STEVIE NICKS" for next level "TAMSIN" for level 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From there jump right to the adjacent platform. Then left and down onto the disappearing platform, and left again to get the item. I'm surprised you think this game is really difficult. The enemies are really slow and easy to jump, there are no last pixel long jumps to do, and no timer, so in most places you can take your time. Once you remember to keep an eye on the ceiling of the cave to spot the bits that fall you lose less lives. The moving platforms aren't difficult either, once you know how to get on them you can't miss! You just need to wait and then just before they reach you walk on, keep the joystick pushed in that direction and remember to jump off! It does get tricky in the later levels though, 9 is difficult until you get the hang of it, and 13 and 14 I think were pretty hard too. Definitely stick with it cos it's a good game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Some nice level designs and variety, the waiting around for the creatures default positions is a bit annoying especially when you are repeatedly dying (yes I had to correct that spelling) Reached level 7 (just) 6,530 Reminder: Round Ends Wednesday 9th December 10am UK Time (yes, slighly shorter than usual).

But it's too hard/difficult for me, I absolutely hate these very small moving platforms that do NOT move your player (you have to jump on them and then move with them). The electric thingies in the game are also not nice. This is a love + hate game for me, I love the gfx, but hate the (too hard) gameplay. Totally agreed. It looks nice... gameplay is horrible. And although some people hate background music, for me it is one of the thing I usually like in games. This games does not have any music at all. Pity.

+therealbountybob Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Ok we'll leave this round open until Sunday morning as Cavernia does have more play in it once you get used to it! I'll start the next round up now so they will overlap for a few days! 7,590ish just the door to get on level 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Completed it, after level 16 it starts again. It wouldn't be difficult to run through it again with the extra life for each 1000 points. Very good game. For those who don't like it, or think it's too difficult, you should give it more of a chance. I thought it seemed difficult when I first played it.

carlsson Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Perhaps its problem is that it ramps up the difficulty very early on, even though it is solvable for a top player once you have got past the first obstacles? It seems that everyone who commented about it on Atarimania also brings up that it is very hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you learn how to solve the more difficult parts on each level, it doesn't then take much to repeat the solution, if you know what I mean. Where did you get stuck on level two?

carlsson Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I got stuck at the laser beams. Once I managed to take the back way on the upper platform and through the narrow hole. It shouldn't be possible but the game seems to have a few small bugs here and there so sometimes it works. Still I didn't manage to climb through to the end of the level.

If the timing is right, you can stand with your back to the wall, facing the laser, then when the enemy comes you can jump over it just as the laser switches off. Alternatively you can drop down from the platform above as the laser switches off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
