1,239,360. Managed to virtually get all this on one life....and then spectacularly lost them all in about a minute.

...and don't even talk to me about trying to collect the gems in the right order....never managed it..not once

1,432,840. I love this game !

WakiMiko · « **Reply #49 on:** October 27, 2015, 09:42:07 am »

Me too!

yamatetsu · « **Reply #50 on:** October 27, 2015, 10:13:34 am »

But I was lying

WakiMiko · « **Reply #51 on:** October 27, 2015, 01:38:35 pm »

I wasn't

Edit:

Made it to stage 18, no new high score though

While the levels on Arkanoid Island feel much easier than the ones on Toy Island enemy-wise, the time gets so ---smurfing--- short that you really have to speed through them. The worst part about the rising water is that you cant see the platforms any more, so once you are falling, you are pretty much dead.

Sorry to sound like a noob but I only have access to my mame rig at the moment. is this identified in Hyperspin as rainbow islands new version? I can't access the XML to verify. I wish this challange was back in 1998 when Raine was released. I would have killed it then but on the mame rig with wihtout playing game in 17 years I might not be as good.

WakiMiko · « **Reply #53 on:** October 27, 2015, 09:26:37 pm »

My MAME calls it Rainbow Islands (new version).

Cannot wait to get my rig sorted out and built so I can partake in these.

Note: don't make a mistake when entering your name. Then don't try to hit the jump button in the hopes that it will let you go back. All it will do is enter two incorrect letters

Man I blow choad at this game

WakiMiko · « **Reply #57 on:** October 29, 2015, 05:30:58 pm »

The Arkanoid levels are like impossible without the permanent wings powerup.

I managed to collect the gems in the correct order on the first 3 islands though.

2,458,540

epetti · « **Reply #58 on:** October 29, 2015, 11:22:36 pm »

Slowly making my way up. 381,070.

1,475,630. Boyo, do i HATE this ****ing game.

1,475,770. Progress.

epetti · « **Reply #60 on:** October 31, 2015, 12:44:19 am »

635,610. Finally got to Monster Island. Difficulty goes way up.

yamatetsu · « **Reply #61 on:** October 31, 2015, 01:40:13 am »

Welcome to the Island Of Frustration^tm !

WakiMiko · « **Reply #62 on:** October 31, 2015, 08:34:13 am »

Scores updated!

Compared to the later islands, Monster Island feels really easy now

yam: You gotta work on your taste in games!!
mnewt: You dropped to fourth place, only 2 days left!!!

yamatetsu · « **Reply #63 on:** October 31, 2015, 09:42:43 am »

You got that wrong. It's clearly your taste that needs adjusting

popsicle · « **Reply #64 on:** October 31, 2015, 05:54:13 pm »

1,393,430

Not good enough.

BGoulette · « **Reply #65 on:** October 31, 2015, 06:06:31 pm »

Now whenever I play this game, if I can't get at least three correct sequence gems on world 1-1, I ragequit. I've gotta just suck in up and play. Dang.

mnewt · « **Reply #66 on:** November 01, 2015, 08:44:24 am »

1,394,550 - frustratingly jumped straight into the secret room on level 2 without killing the boss and collecting the diamond. Collecting the permanent power-ups certainly does make it easier when you die though..

1,525,510 - slight error with the initials. Anyway, that's me done

yamatetsu · « **Reply #67 on:** November 01, 2015, 07:49:59 pm »

1,645,430. Finally conquered Monster Island.

Feeling the pressure a bit..ok next game will be "Shock Troopers" (although I won't be able to participate much in the next two weeks). I'll post a thread shortly
