omg isn't it alfa testing?

i tried the alfa 6, dont' have time to try others if it is much different, but from what i tried the game is damn hard. idea is nice but maybe you should
-make lvl 1 easier
-slow spinning

the timing becomes really hard for beginners because the blade spins so quickly.

Antz · Post by **Antz** » 21 May 2003, 04:40

now that i tested the mouse version i have to vote yes. with keyboard the required motions and quick movements are (at least for me) unreachable, but with mouse they are very nicely mediocre, not too hard, but hard enough not to make it dull.

note: reaching the menu bar is quite hard when the cursor is used and alt doesn't work. alt f4 had to use to quit.

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 21 May 2003, 22:47

OMG, this is too hard... can't even finish 1 level...

Antz · Post by **Antz** » 22 May 2003, 04:48

zworqy what version did you try? the keyboard version was damn hard but the mouse version mediocre.

is is just me or am i the onlyone who bothered to try this? why just vote for poll and not say anything? it isn't very helpful for the programmer. tell why u liked/disliked rather

rad · Post by **rad** » 23 May 2003, 19:05

i think it's cool :)
but sloppy programming, you can pass thru walls etc :/
my suggestion is to make it a bit more human since the gameplay seems too random and gets annoying pretty quickly

MopoGirl · Post by **MopoGirl** » 23 May 2003, 20:07

omg totaly kicks major fucking ass man, WHOA.

just make more levels, pretty frustrating to finally pass the darn thing and then that's it

and it's kinda annoying that it the spinning blade thing leaves a trail behind him... just make it spin, without leaving those things. annoying. but cool game, yeah

MopoGirl · Post by **MopoGirl** » 23 May 2003, 20:14

and another thing: how do i make the game pause so i can, say, look at the options?

chux · Post by **chux** » 23 May 2003, 23:03

This game is exactly the same as Kuru Kuru Kururin...lucky that was a good game then!

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 23 May 2003, 23:30

any competition?

Post by **SveinR** » 24 May 2003, 10:27

Good idea, but too hard and frustrating for me :/

very breakable anywayz

Edit: 62, ez 63

lol
Edit2: lolololz, just made 63 while editing the first time

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 25 May 2003, 01:11

LOL.. look at that

Sorry Toaster

, but i guess it could have some fixing

I Know

... Mouse controle is nize

... but I can't fix that bug

so i removed the mouse controle in the later versions (remember its the alfa1 version

)

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 25 May 2003, 22:06

NOOOOOO

leave it alone! Just don't make levels where begining is close to finish or keys or something like that... using keyboard is impossible

... besides, even with that bug, it's harder to finish levels with good time (at least that one, compare the screenshots)... It's cool, any new levs?

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 26 May 2003, 00:50

64 and doubt will go further

Antz · Post by **Antz** » 26 May 2003, 14:10

how the hell can you get such times?!!! i can barely get through the lev before time ends

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 26 May 2003, 16:12

You begin with 70. Just after the bar rounds the first time, hurry to the place where there are 4 yellow thingies that stop time (might stop in 63 or 64), then get out and run like hell to the UNDER key, then to the MIDDLE key, then EXIT before time comes back to normal... plain and simple

Wanna rec?

(not a bad idea to add it on future versions)

btw if u just slash mouse right it sometimes goes through the pipe on the start. that'd be fast..

I want to see a 64 points screenshot (not the hiscore table)

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 28 May 2003, 01:55

damn i will show ya!

don't think i'm editing the screenshot bcuz im not... if i did it once, then i'll do it at least twice and you all will see it.. but not today, i'm fukin tired

if there's any doubt anyway, i could send you the file of the game (the one that holds the highscores), and you can be absolutely sure i don't fukin know how to edit the highscores

(i would send only to Toaster, of course)

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 28 May 2003, 17:07

In game screenshot ok 62 (Alfa 1) I haven't been able to repeat the 64

Hey Toast, if u really want proof, PM me a mail where i can send u the file u need to be convinced

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 1 Jun 2003, 03:22

Now 63 (Alfa 1) Still haven't been able to repeat the 64...

too difficult to repeat

Someday i'll get times to the other versions..

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 4 Jun 2003, 19:18

Â¨YEAH

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 28 Jul 2003, 15:01

Well Toast, u erased my other screenshots so i'll just post my times for Beta3 and give them to u if u ask for them:

BETA 3 VAITORK TIMES:

Lvl 1: 1402
Lvl 2: 1297
Lvl 3: 1419
Lvl 4: 323
Lvl 5: 1278
Lvl 6: 755
Lvl 7: 776
Lvl 8: 960
Lvl 9: 1687

Most of them were first try, easily beaten

I beated ToTaL's time with 9602 (his time is 9554) but still haven't played too much to beat the "Toast3r" 10000 High Score

Btw, thanx for adding me to the Standard High Score List

it's the first time that happens (and the last one, probably

)

Toaster · Post by **Toaster** » 29 Jul 2003, 02:02

send the screenshots to Toaster@post9.tele.dk or post them here in the forum (Please Use Jpeg or gif, and maybe resize to 50%)

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 29 Jul 2003, 04:06

already sent to ur mail... i don't have any web site so i prefer to send u the screenshots..

im working on the new version, but... is it supposed to be that slow?

or it's my comp the slow one? i cant work through the fifth level bcuz of it.. i dunno.. if i need a better pc than Pentium 233 mhz (mine), then u should add a video setting or sumtin to make the visuals look like the previous versions (better performance).. i know it's not easy, but we will be patient

Toaster · Post by **Toaster** » 30 Jul 2003, 02:17

It's not your computer... Level 5 is a really hard level

working on level 9 (not too easy either

)

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 30 Jul 2003, 20:24

DAMN! is this some kind of new Enigma level???

i've tried it way maaany times and still can't go through that damn narrow space in the upper part of level nine... did u try this lev, Toaster?

i suck

Vaitork · Post by **Vaitork** » 31 Jul 2003, 15:17

YEAH!!

i finished all the levels.. some of them were kinda hard (after i figured it out, level 5 was not that hard.. but level 9 was a pain in the @$$, had to go back through the below part

) and some of them were really good (level 14 rox

).. the only problem i see is that they don't differ much from each other.. i know it's just a beta, but it wouldn't hurt to have some levs like Beta3's.. also, sometimes there was a weird telekinetic force around the bar so i could pick keys and clocks without even touching them

(unfortunately, that also happened with the walls

).. a last point.. i didn't get a thing from the congratulations screen Â¿

? everything was non-english so..

In general, it's a nice version and i have 2117 points (i'm gonna beat urs, Toaster

)

CAN ANYONE ELSE TEST THIS BETA?? PLEASE??

Edit: 2309 Samlet Score (wathever it is..) getting closer

...

Edit2:

2405

Toaster · Post by **Toaster** » 1 Aug 2003, 00:18

I Know the levels is a bit sucky.

I know there is a bug (the "weird telekinetic force around the bar") I dont know way this bug is there. But it sucks, I know !

The Danish is changed to English in the next version

"Samlet Score" = "Total Score"

It's posible to skip the levels, just read the text in the help window
