Don't worry blade there's always next time (and next time and... )
Hey and P.P. Hammer is fun. Really I like that game
Expect my first score tomorrow Graham

[john4p]

Sorry guys - I miscounted. I wanted to vote so that X-Out and PP Hammer both have 25 points. Because of more 1st places X-Out would've won then...

I wanted X-Out to win...

Timed out while desperadly trying to dig fast enough to get the blue key in level 7

@john
Just vote it first again next time. It just has to work...

[Graham Humphrey]

And TCD storms into the lead

I've played this game before but not properly so I'm looking forward to giving it a more in-depth go.

Yay

It can be quite frustrating in the later levels when you try to find the last one or two treasures. Of course there are also some nasty 'dig fast or die' situations. Ah nevermind you'll see for yourself Graham

Its ok John, it just means we will need to crucify your testicles with some rusty nails

Is it just me or do you have a different personality during the rounds of the league blade?
Btw : Where's your first score? It's kinda lonely here

[Graham Humphrey]

Okay then, my first attempt. Got to level five but couldn't find my way to the exit (the invisible walls - grrr). I do quite like this but some of the level design smacks of Rick Dangerous - i.e. horrifically unfair invisible traps.

The only good thing is that you can collect the red health potions. If you run into these traps the potions can save the day

[Graham Humphrey]

Yes, they are helpful but ideally you should have at least a fighting chance of not being hit by them in the first place...

[TCD]

If you know where they are you can just stop close in front of them and they show up, so you can jump over or duck under them. At least some of these traps are avoidable this way and when you finish one level you start with full energy in the next.
For me it's just fun to play this game again

Phew - now I'm relieved. I feared some might be disappointed...

[mailman]

21,220 - I reached level 13

P.S. Finally EAB/LA League has started!

[TCD]

Nice score mailman
You still remember all the levels right? I also think you found some more bonus rounds than I did

[mailman]

My reminiscence of P.P.Hammer is a bit blurry but I remember some bonus rounds and places where the treasures are hidden. In the 13th level my memory didn't serve me and I ran out of time

[TCD]

I remembered most of the levels when I saw them. I also knew the place where I timed out. I will do some training rounds later on and hopefully get used to this 'speed digging' again

[mailman]

Nobody's playing?

[TCD]

Second run planned for wednesday
You are right mailman. That's pretty silent for the first day. Maybe the guys haven't noticed that it started yet
