Well done! It's a pleasure to see scores growing!

No other options: keys are a little puzzle element of the game, so the player is required to choose how to use keys wisely.

I tried , but it looks like I did not try enough! I guess I just need to play it more and memorize critical levels. Last time I had fun playing a game was with Rimworld, and with this kind of a game, can't even remember. It is a real gem!

A solution is looking at the maze before stepping inside, and evaluating the various paths. An additional strategy is to not open a door before making sure that it isn't possible to reach the places it gives access to by means of other door-free paths.

There are my hiscores, I played game for the first time :) So, I can see that I will have busy Weekend :D

@VooDoo

Looking good, I am glad you joined the fray!

@VooDoo

Cool you joined the competition! Scoreboard has been updated!

Tried two rounds here myself, but could not beat my previous score, but hopefully I will some time during the weekend.

I have totally lost my mind! For whatever reason, instead of unpausing the game, I hit esc one more time and aborted the game... Check out the number of soldiers behind the door.




Anyway, 200K is down!

@levellord

woah!congrats on breaking the 200k barrier and accidents happen but that just means 300K is coming soon

here's my 150k + submission today

@levellord

That's a real pity - I feel for you!
Anyway, you're in the groove, so you'll be able to repeat the performance and go much further ;)


@all

Suggestion: don't always start from the very beginning, but restart from the highest level that the game allows you to start from.
That's because (if I remember correctly - I don't have the manual at hand) the level number acts as a points multiplier, so it's easier to score more - and climb the standing. As an added bonus, you get to see and learn new levels, thus also experiencing less repetitiveness.
Only once you've seen all/most of the levels, start a game from the scratch to make the highest score possible.

EDIT: I got confused with some other game of mine: the level number doesn't act as multiplier.

@saimo

tried playing at continuing game as well and didn't notice any extra bonus..oops just saw your edit below but anyhow just confirming.
Looking forward to playing some more tonight once my yard/garden work is done at both my and my mothers house

Normally one does something relaxing after a stressful activity: here it sounds like you're doing it the other way around :D


@all

I'm pleased to know that somebody is having fun with a game of mine - thank you. When you're done, I'll be curious to know also which levels you have reached (and any comment you feel like sharing, of course).

EOW score:





@saimo

Almost completed The Machine Rooms, 4 levels shy of that. There is nowhere to hide there, lol! And the spawning was brutal but fair, it was my own greed that killed me at the end. I love the mechanical voice of the robots, it's a nice touch.

Finally beat my old high-score. Still quite far behind, but everything helps, hehe.

after some hours of playing my hiscores...

@AmigaOldSkooler

It's all about fun! There are two more weeks ahead, everything can change by the EOM.

@VooDoo

Zamalo! That was so close, congrats sir!

@levellord


Hvala, pričaš Hrvataki? Thank you mate, give me day or two and I will beat you ;) I hope :D

I had no doubt you'd progress further and break the 300k barrier ;)
Also, I'm pretty sure you've got good chances to finish all the levels.

It constantly increases level by level...

Thanks! If I remember correctly, I generated it with S.A.M. (Software Automatic Mouth) on the C64.
