Re: High Score Challenge - S22 - Round 9 - Uncle Claude

Best score so far, i'm happy to carry on playing as I am pretty sure this bug won't affect me , not likely to get that far !

Re: High Score Challenge - S22 - Round 8 - Microbe

New score, very last minute - the computer crashed on me as I was trying to upload my screen shot

Re: High Score Challenge - S22 - Round 8 - Microbe

A little bit higher - don't think I can better this.

It's nice little game, bright and colourful and very noisy, but just too random really, shame.

Re: High Score Challenge - S22 - Round 8 - Microbe

A little bit better. Don' think it will get much higher - nice game but way too random - those coloured balls are a pain.

Re: High Score Challenge - S22 - Round 8 - Microbe

Best score so far.

Thanks for the Shift for fire tip - does make it a lot easier to play.

Re: High Score Challenge - S22 - Round 8 - Microbe

Best score so far - nice little game, another one i've never seen - as this released in my pre-BBC days.

Good fun to play - space bar for fire not the best idea ever - what's wrong with Return ?

Re: High Score Challenge - S22 - Round 7 - Challenger

Not had a lot of time to play this one - but managed to nearly complete all of Level 2 and get a better score.

It's not a bad little game - with a bit of fine tuning, better collision and controls could be really decent budget game - and a lot better than some of the ones I bought.

Re: High Score Challenge - S22 - Round 6 - Bug Blaster

My final attempt at this - I knew I could get a good score if I didn't lose lives early on, that and keeping the area as clear as possible from mushrooms helps bigitme .

A lot snail bonuses helped too !

onto the next round.

Re: High Score Challenge - S22 - Round 6 - Bug Blaster

Got a bit further - it' s a nice little game - Return would be better for fire than Shift.

Re: High Score Challenge - S22 - Round 5 - Ossie

Highest score so far 390 . Never played this one before.

OK game, bit repetitive, and the diving to catch the fish seems to be more lucky than skill.
