[BuckoA51]

Tempest 4000, not TxK. You'll still need a PS Vita for the latter (and it's well worth it, imho)

Yeah, it's one of those things where you buy it now or forever see people charge a fortune for it trying to lure in the people who need every game released on a system. This is now the fifth time i've bought this game (which includes the digital switch version). You have to support your friendly purveyors of furry psychedelia.

I feel like it's peak consumerism that I just bought a game for the third time that I don't plan on ever taking out of the box, but it will look nice on my shelf.

dont know why but I failed a couple of the bonus levels where you follow the green trails which never happens - I didnt do anything different but it said I failed and I sort of slowed to a halt so if anyone can enlighten me why it would be appreciated.....

Some of the path bonus levels have gaps. You have to push forward to have a bigger chance to make it to the other end without running out of energy.

Push forward ? I just thought the controls for this bonus level were up, down, left and right ?

So glad to see the physical release happen for the Switch. Ordered!

Then "say thanks to me" ( well ok to Atari because they wanted to make it happen ) to me because I am the one they made nuts contacted to make it happen

Actually I still HOPE I made everything right because it did happen "in a nick of time" between this and that and the other and they told me "do this the guys at LR knows how to do it" and me "Are you SURE that's really what you want me to do is that correct ?" .. YES YES just do like this ... "ok .."

I just hope it works .. I really do .. I never done it before and the procedure "it's a bit strange" and not what I'd think would be done .. but I've done what they told me to do ...

NOTE : if you think/believe that "to make an app for consoles" means "create a .exe and put it somewhere" you are PRETTY FAR from the reality of things "every console has WEIRD procedures to put things into somewhere" .. burocratically and technically .. and they are not even that easy to test ..

As I said "I just hope I've done it right" .. I'll know when people will start buying that thing ...

Well, I hope you did too Giles! Cos despite already having the game twice as well (Switch and PS4), the temptation of an actual physical copy for Switch proved too much and I just placed my order too!

Limited Run Games is good people and super-helpful. They've done a ton of games on all consoles so if they said it's done that way then I'm willing to bet it will work just fine. I'll be fun to test in a couple months when the cartridge arrives, though.

Late to this but getting back into it.

How the fuck do you get anywhere near that 22m highest score, though?

[Deckard]

12th with 39 million on Pure after a quick blast just now - havent had much time lately to play but will get into the top 5 on both Pure and Classic by next weekend I reckon....

Still not a fan of messing around "downstairs" but a few more hours should sort it out - I wish there was more screen shenanigans when the little blighters were down there like a real alarm noise or a screen shake rather thank just the shield around the turret etc

edit sorry my bad thought we were talking about AKKA

Classic doesnt count !! Its just for practice !

22 mill is the top classic score and I am 2nd with almost 12 mill - because of the green bonus rounds, compared to the flying thru star rounds they are worth 10-20x the points so literally almost a million a time.

As I have said before the green bonus rounds can be "janky" with the joystick needing a push forward to make some of the ones with large empty paths which I never knew until someone said thats how you clear them, even then I still fail almost 75% time so I literally lose millions of points.

If it wasn't that unfair I would be top on Pure with a 13-15 million score rather than 9.5

Where it counts on Survival in my humble opinion I am WAY WAY out in front of 2nd place RetroRNGD by over 700k with a 2.4 million score....

I will say it again too, those bastard earlyish yellow 20s levels are some of the hardest in the game and a real difficulty spike.

I have a few days off this week so I feel a Switch LL marathon coming on. Like to be top on T4 for Pure and top 5 on Akkr

Limited Run Switch version landed on the doormat today. Comes with a nice little mini booklet and all-round is a thing of great beauty considering it's a plastic box.
