High Score Challenge - S19 - R10 - Hunkidory

[fwibbler]

Well, I'm clearly sh*te at this one but it has an addictiveness that kept me trying for ages to get this far.

[Rod C]

Slow progress here.

[KarateEd]

Slow progress here too Rod, much slower than last time I played this but then.....I was young then.,

[MatthewThompson]

Bit of Deja vu here ! level 5 again, new high score - and ran out of time on the way to the exit !!

[KarateEd]

Not quite through level 3, stupid mistakes have kept me from 3 twice now.....

Edit: Got to level 3......

[KarateEd]

Level 3 score now. In spite of it being 7 years since we played this, I remember the terror of some of these levels.....so far......

[MatthewThompson]

New high score, and finally got to Level 6 ! but not for very long.

[KarateEd]

A bit of a bump up, still on level 3.....

[KarateEd]

Still on level 3, did have the door open but couldn't get my addled brain to work and so lost the chance to continue on. Was almost out of time......the pressure, the pressure......

Edit: Now on level 4

[Rod C]

Getting a little better, well, I finished level 2 with all lives.

I need to find a KarateEd-type surge now, without the pressure or the terror though!

The pressure and the terror do not leave, they get worse.

[KarateEd]

Working on level 4 now, just a bit better score......

Slow progress!

[KarateEd]

A very slight increase.....

[FourthStone]

[chrisn]

[KarateEd]

Should have been through 4. I missed one of those collectables......

[KarateEd]

Onto level 5 then......

[KarateEd]

Still on level 5 but think I have most of it figured out......time for bed.....well on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada

Ed, you missed my 30945 score!

Well, just thought I would relieve you of the pressure of being first all the time......it has to take it's toll......

I've updated the spreadsheet so next time I update the scores it will show up. Sorry about that, don't know how it happened.....sigh....getting old.....

I like Peter Scott's games but the one thing that takes the shine off them is the fiddly jumping. A lot of the time, when you're trying to jump onto a moving platform, you end up going through it and not ending up on it, sometimes causing an untimely death.

Heartily agreed. Controls can also be a bit hit & miss as everything happens so rapidly - or not at all. There's a spot or two on level 2 where you try to move just one position away from an oncoming baddie and either don't move or overshoot into a spike.

I gave this quite a few tries but could only get to level 3 without save states - and once I took a look at level 4 I had no interest in continuing
Bravo to everyone that'd persevered further

So here's my score: 13135

Anyone else encounter strange behaviour when Escape is pressed?
I found this weird ghost level from it:

I finally got to level 4, but didn't last very long ... 16665

The game locked up when I pressed Escape, I didn't see a ghost level though.

Mostly works but sometimes locks up during screen redraw and need to reset the computer (beebEm). Not seen the exact same that you did but similar.
