Another Wingtipvortex quirky platformer special a'la Rock 'N Rope :) I really enjoy these type of platformers, should be fun learning a new one this week.

Great little game, but i have to hand it to Dk for introducing me to this one. Sitting in his shed, selected a random game and up comes this one.

Just a quick bash on the laptop to check it out, I like this :cool: The challenging stage threw me for a bit of a 6 though. One game I found a 'secret' frog worth 5k on stage 2, though I have no idea how he gets triggered :unsure

 

Edit: Score update

Nice fun little game this....finally should have some free time over the next couple of weeks to plug myself back into the MGL.

 

By 'quirky' do you mean 'infuriating to the point of screaming in rage whilst bashing head against control panel'? :D

I can get a tad more, but not tonight evidently......I really believe some of you "hard gamers" will surpass this in the next few days. There is a 10K hidden bonus as well as the 5K frog......i can tell you how to get if you want, but its fun working it out.

 

Trying to push past my brick wall, getting there:)

Was to crash & bash with not enough finesse, got through plenty of levels but far from maximised my points per level.

Thats right after a big night on it, I left you with the game came back down a few hours later in the afternoon and you were still playing it , you had the tunes going and telling me what a great game it is.

funny if it was not for that random selection now and on the day and my hangover and buzzed feeling for the game, and you sticking with it all that day/afternoon we would not all be playing it right now:lol

I'm missing something... I've got up to stage 10 but my score is nowhere near that, is there leeching or anythying involved ? Wouldn't have thought as the grapes are limited :unsure Unlike the grapes in my glass this eve, gladly there's at least another litre left in the old chateua cardboard before I :sleep

Ok thanks for the tip. I haven't noticed the grapes re-appearing, I'll go back and have another look.

 

The game is pretty addictive, I agree.

Let the game sit idle for a few mins without starting a game, and watch. It will answer some questions, including the grapes:)

I do this all the time, just dive in and start playing and several days later watch the demos and learn all these tricks I could of been using.

Good advice. I watched the attract mode and saw the birdie appear and bring the grapes back. Cool! But could I triger that myself even when I copied - Nup! :realmad:

 

I have got into the swing of point pressing a bit, ie climbing the poles and trying for multiple kills and that green guy's 5k a time helps, though I still don't get the frog or the other bonus.

 

Stage 8/147k

My kind of game.

 

 

Have you ever played it before:unsure, I hadn't until a few months ago. Seems to have all the elements of the good vertical platform era.

I never see it mentioned anywhere and pointed it out to wtv one day now he's an addict :D

Nah, never heard of it until MGL, which is the case with most MGL games for me.
