All fingers and thumbs with this one! 3900

[FourthStone]

Looks beautiful, very hard to play though, made it to the third boss who pummeled me with a barrage of fiery projectiles.

Score: 5400

FIrst time player on stardot - Adam is my name (Eds grandson)

I haven't played this one before although I had the original on the Electron. I can remember it being a little "fiddly" to play. I'll have a go later after work.

[sydney]

I've never really given this game a chance in the past. I'd not played it enough to realise you get a 'boss fight' at the end of each level so always thought it wasn't as good as the first game. Just had a quick go and realised I was wrong.
I'm really quite good at Yie Ar Kung Fu 1 so hopefully my skills will transfer well here.
This was in an emulator and unfortunately the score is corrupted when playing on a master so I won't be able to use real hardware unless some bright spark can hack a master compatible version for me.
My first go gave:

19500

[Venger]

Here's a starter score from me.

[Rod C]

Fun game but pretty tricky. 21600

[sydney]

So I had a few goes on real hardware. Turns out I have a problematic X key.

30200

[klintworth]

5900

[chrisn]

I don't think this is quite as good a game as Yie Ar Kung Fu. There's a nice variety of opponents, but the projectiles can really quickly wipe you out. The game speeds up second time around... Best so far: 50,100

[FourthStone]

Wow some nice scores there guys, I am struggling to get past boss three he seems to not stop throwing things.

Score: 10800

[Rod C]

Made a little progress. 24700

[Rod C]

Made one time around. 31200

[FourthStone]

Boss 5, dunno how you guys do it, to me it feels like pure luck to dodge everything.

Score: 13800

[FourthStone]

Little further boss 8, punching while up close seems to work better.

Score: 22900

[Venger]

Here's a little jump in score from me. I'm not really feeling the love for this one, it just seems too random and the "fighting" doesn't involve any other strategy than just mashing buttons .

I completely agree. Yie Ar Kung Fu 1 is a much better game. My good scores occurred when I was lucky enough for the 'weapons fire' from the enemies to be light enough for me to close the distance and repeatedly punch them in their big toe.

[KarateEd]

Yup, it's a key basher, that's for sure.....

[FourthStone]

Got this yesterday but forgot to post: 31300

[KarateEd]

Adams new score

[KarateEd]

A bit better, pretty hit and miss for me....and it's a key cruncher.....glad I'm only destroying a PC keyboard, not a Beeb one.

[Venger]

Frustrating...

May have a few more goes this week but no more today.

[KarateEd]

A slight boost in score......

[KarateEd]

Got a half way decent score this time......

[richardtoohey]

Had a go with the new jsbeeb ... think there's some bugs in jsbeeb's keyboard handling or my desk is too small

I haven't got enough fingers

4300 ... can do better ... on a different keyboard/desk/planet

[Venger]

A small jump in score.

Good to see you Richard! Game on for the low score - I was handicapped by a sticky key on my Beeb, so just swapped out the keyboard which helped a bit, but I’m all fingers and thumbs with this game!! Paul
