It seems you keep your bought items forever? This means, already after two levels you can buy everything and not care of collect more money in rest of the game?

I see clenched currently working on gamemaps. He has already uploaded maps of the first two worlds. I'm sure he will do the others as well. These will help me a lot! Thanks clenched!

Not sure if You die will You lose some pod upgrades, I avoid death by useing save states. Sometimes You can jump on monsters or lure them near those blocks so they will destroy them.

Time for little off-topic.
Funny fact - HOL help me in finishing that game.
There is manual for cd32 in Polish on ECS/OCS page.
It describe controls for cd32 pad, but whd and floppy versions do not use other extra buttons
It also describe pod upgrades, but they are in wrong order and lacks description for last item in shop.

I have also find this page in net https://pikointeractive.com/blog/ I wonder do they already have cd32 version and they are trying to buy rights to release it or they are searching for both game and rights.

Tested with SPS disks. At title screen type brilliant. Screen flashes white after each correct key. Select a planet and visit the shop first. Even though you haven't any money, jump on all the buttons to load your cart with accessories. Unsure about purchasing lives this way.

Lives counter has changed to a planet, map, XY coordinate report. It goes back to normal on the 'surface'.

Drive cart along and watch the path expand ahead without entering a level. It is possible to go straight to the Boss and finish the planet. Pinkie can't be hurt unless he stays underwater too long. When energy runs out the game stalls. Q can recover at the cost of one life from this condition.

Have started over three times now. The problem was that I could not enter the boss room. I first thought you must do all levels and collect all eggs. So did this and could still not enter the boss. But figured it out at last. It just took a few hours

You can not enter the boss room with the pod!

edit: good work clenched! Will add the cheat (and the level codes) to HOL.

[DamienD]

I have more level codes here; can't remember where I got them from.

The problem with level codes is that they change depending on the order of stages / planets you choose / complete...

do it please you are the expert

and if you have enough time also make a james pond 3 LP, doesn't exists neither

[Gzegzolka]

Yep. You can not enter boss fight with your pod, must leave it at other level and walk on foot. Anyway I like those boss fights, they are not too hard if You know where each boss got weak spot to hit and how avoid their attacks. Those bosses are big and nice animated.

Will do James Pond 3 and many others. I currently have 402 games on my list

Why did I not ask you first. Would save a lot of time.

World 2: Level 5 has a level design bug. There is an egg that can't be collected. Savestate attached if someone wants to try. I wanted to collect all eggs even if not needed, because I thought that would be cool. But seems I have to skip one on this level

[Gzegzolka]

As I say before You can not pick up egg if it is underwater, try push it left or right on water stream - those oxygen bubbles will rise egg for You and when it will be above You just let it fall on Your back. Pinkie should automatically pick it up.

[hipoonios]

Thanks, but this is not the problem here. I can't even get to the egg because the bubbles pushing me back.

[clenched]

Here is some stuff I've tried:

Stacking two eggs on top of jet streams to see if the weight would shut off flow.

Try to shove robot into water. Hopefully its mass would let it through. I can jump in front, jack up pod and force it to change direction but not go off a cliff.

[Gzegzolka]

Yes, there are two upgrades that allow pod to move and stop underwater, maybe You could just drive there, the pod is not affected by water stream.

The problem is you can not get the pod through because it's too big.

This must be a bug. Have spent too much time on this already, so will continue play without all three eggs on that level.

[hipoonios]

Finally got time to finish the game. On planet 3 there is another level where it is not possible to get an egg. Can post savestate if someone wants to convince me that it is possible. And I only played the needed ones, so there might be more "bugged" levels.

[Gzegzolka]

Congratulations it is not bad game but somehow I have a feeling that it was not tested enough before relese.
