As Wolfchild can feel like a long game, I added a number of checkpoints to the normal rules.
Take a screengrab at the start of the level, or if you make it to a checkpoint. These are worth 500,000 extra to your score. If you dont reach a checkpoint, you dont get any extra score. Level 1 - Score = your score. Level 2, see formula in first post. Level 3, look out for a snail. Just past the snail is a grasshopper. Take your screenshot there before you jump on it's back. On Level 4 we find a ladder of dark green platforms. Climbing this unique ladder will take us to two boxes, and this is the mid point of the level. Level 5 This begins after the second elevator on level 4. The checkpoint is just after a wall which you walk through, and find a shark fin. Level 6 When you first see the swinging spikes, its the start of the second section of the level. Snapshot here to bag 500k extra. Level 6 Boss - Snapshot as he appears. You get 1M points as a checkpoint bonus here. Example: Level 3, reached the checkpoint, 1 life, 10 health points, and 2k score. 3M + 500,000 + 100,000 + 50,000 - 2,000 = 3,648,000 Last edited by lifeschool; 29 February 2020 at 22:48. |

No problem. I had to start making the threads at 10pm to be ready in time for the changeover, but I figured it was best to do it, and then I can post larger images on EAB. I dont know if you have access to my files to see I made two different image sizes, but I figured you might not notice.
Of course the voting threads usually link back to EAB compo links, but thats a lot more of a headache than I can manage. |

Even if we never played or get hooked by some of the games, this competition is a good motivation to go as far as possible, or even finish them

Then you guys will have some experiences, as this game is quite challenging, or at least more than Turrican.
I removed the checkpoint on level 2 today, as players can simply go straight there from the start. |

3,442,500 = 3,000,000 + 500,000 + 0 + 20,000 - 77,500 Some of the enemies are a bit trolly but there do seem to be some strategies against them. Liking it so far! |

3,979,900 = 4,000,000 + 0 + 100,000 + 25,000 - 145,100 Level 3 was brutal! I got to the top of this lift with 1 health left and got one-shotted. Last edited by arcanist; 25 February 2020 at 02:54. Reason: Miscalculated |

i'm still stuck on lvl 2 lol ,but i think I would do better with a better controller i have the competition pro or something like that but no a big fan of it. And my old WICO bat controller is broken. Tried to switch to pc to use emulator so i could use my d-pad controller but the emulator screen is to small never figured out if you can make it full screen or not. but i will continue on with competition pro to see if can at least get to lvl 3, and i may have got to lvl 3 and died so fast and wasn't able to grab the screen shot.

These are the WinUAE settings I use for fullscreen. It doesn't give the purist 1:1 pixels but looks just fine to me. If your monitor doesn't support 60Hz then you might need different vsync settings or the game will run fast.
I use a cheap Buffalo gamepad, works great. I map bottom button to fire and left button to up (for jump). Display Filter |

Just in case here are the display settings I use (nothing special but, at the end, good screen size, at least for my eyes)

Well done! We're using a score calculation for this round, so you need to put yours through this for the "true" score.
Total = (Level*1M) + (Checkpoint=500k) + (Lives*100k) + (Health*5k) - Score. The checkpoint screenshots to take are at the top of the thread, if you reach them (extra 500K points on that level). |

If you think that's bad I switch the buttons from one game to the next, and sometimes use Up for jump in addition to the button.
Maximum thumb comfort > consistency! |

ROM: Thats great progress, but unfortunately your current screenshot is not acceptable. You can take screenshots at any time during level 1, but after that you can only take a screenshot at the very start of a new level, or at one of the checkpoints highlighted in the second post. This is because players can grab full health during the levels, but as health is a main factor to score the game, it would affect the system if we allowed screenshots to be submitted from anywhere.
Yes we are also using a new formula to score it, and it can be helpful to show your workings - like arcanists score, as then we can see you got the right number. Please resubmit , and remember you can also take a screenshot at the grasshopper. Last edited by lifeschool; 26 February 2020 at 16:54. |
