Finally cracked the 70 million mark on Classic tonight, so #13 on the Switch table.

Will try and put in a decent run on Pure in the next couple of days too, as I think I fell right out of the table on that mode - it's been a few weeks.

I've just seen this over on resetera, and it works a treat!

If anyone wants to play Jeff Minter's new game on Deck there's a fix available for the white texture issue that made it unplayable. Add
allow_glsl_extension_directive_midshader=true %command%
to the launch options and it works.

Yes that works brilliantly

There’s already a physical version coming from Limited Run Games.
Now there’s a Europe-only version coming from Numskull Games, including two papercraft arcade cabs:

No pre-order details on there yet.

There’s now a Pre-order Now button at the bottom that goes to several links like this one:

Which include the PS5 version.

Akka is def a grower not a shower - its taken me a while to "get" it but now I am going from my original 6/10 score to a solid 8, might even be a 9 in a few more weeks...

Why can I hear Jeff and Giles laughing at me ? I didn’t realise this was also an avoid-em-up till I actually started reading some of the level names

Inching my way up the score table now….

Can someone explain to me what you do about the orange "starfish" on Level 43 ? I cant seem to destroy them as you cant go downstairs when they start hoovering up your lives and no matter how many lives I have I die on that level as some seem "indestructible"

Odd -

His red starfish are 10 x the size of mine and they die easily.....at 1 min 07

I have to check .. I don't know .. I never seen it .. Jeff may know .. I'll try to tell him ...

Did he ever explain ? Without the "bulldozing" cursor power up they're pretty much unkillable....

Just snuck into first on Pure with 159 million and level 47 so still a bit more room for improvement .....I will knock up a top 5 tips / tricks / things you didnt know this week and publish it here too as it still surprises me...

Yeah I loved Atarification mode guys

Not firing is almost as important as firing in some levels I have found....

Yes! Tips please! Love the game. It’s a grower.

Got to spend some time on this over the last couple of weeks and I'm enjoying it. I'm finding that playing on 'Hard' makes me think more about tactics. I want to have a go at a pure run but, for the first time, I have found the effects may be triggering a bit of dizziness for me. Not sure if it's my age or anything different in the game but I may have to turn the effects down which disappoints me.
Well done on the game and looking forward to what's next

So I guess the Numbskull Switch version will probably ship at least six months before the Limited Run version which I ordered back in March! Wonder what makes this version a "special edition"? I imagine a cardboard slipcase

Oh well, if a game is worth buying once then surely it's worth buying four times.
