Description from strategywiki : This platform game features Momoko, a young Japanese girl who ages by several years each time the player reaches the next level.

The goal for each level is to quickly climb several floors by escalator, ladder, or trampoline in the building she is in before the fire burning below reaches her.

These level settings start out from grade school settings to office type buildings.

While jumping over obstacles, she must shoot various different alien-like enemies that come after her on each floor.

She can upgrade her weapon by destroying a certain enemy as well as entering special hidden doorways which feature minigames which require you to jump obstacles.

These doorways can also be used as a short-cut, and sometimes they are mandatory to be used in order to climb to the next floor.

When Momoko reaches the top floor of a level, she must jump onto a small blimp flying above her to beat the level.

This game is so Japanese..... 

I'm going to give it a whirl, but as I recall the last time I played I got bored pretty quick.

[pbj]

Love how every thread one of you bozos has to chime in with the, "meh, this time I'm not going to spend 30 hours playing this game" and yet do it anyway.

[pbj]

This game may actually be worse than Tomy Boy on SMS.

[yamatetsu]

166,700. This one is on Badmouth's list, so it HAS to be good. I kind of like it. For now.

[WakiMiko]

Is this game really buggy for anyone else? When I try to go up an escalator, the game sometimes slides me down instead!?

Yep - thought it was just me -- Also it is almost impossible to jump up a floor off the trampoline using the keyboard.

Also it is almost impossible to jump up a floor off the trampoline using the keyboard.

That's just a matter of timing. You have to jump onto the trampoline, then jump again when you hit it. I tried it using the keyboard, it works.

This game feels similar to Quartet 2. 

48,800

[WakiMiko]

I don't like playing this for score. Since there is no time bonus for completing levels quickly, the best course of action seems to be to stand on the roof farming enemies until the fire forces you to end the level. Weapon progression is weird too.

But the worst thing are the bugs. I try to climb a ladder but the game slides me down into the flames instead. WTF.

124,100

Weapon progression makes no sense.

You get more bullets and/or more powerful shots. Makes sense to me.

But the worst thing are the bugs. I try to climb a ladder but the game slides me down into the flames instead. WTF.

Since moving around in the area near the spot where you need to press 'up' seems to trigger the bug, when approaching an escalator/ladder I jump onto that spot. When leaving, I jump again. This seems to avoid most of the bugs. I'm not sure about it, but I keep doing it anyway 

207,700.



238,800.



248,500.

[JDFan]

Finally getting used to the trampoline jumps (thought you had to hit up when jumping to get a high jump but that just jumps straight up not to the left or right ! ) -- 100,100 171,600

[WakiMiko]

926,000



Totally botched the bonus level after stage 5. The game loops after that.

I finally got a chance to sit down and play some games tonight.

Ugh, logging in and posting is a 10 minute chore.

I'd never heard of or seen this game. It's cute 

[ninjabadger]

I'm terrible at this game!  Some hilarious glitches didn't help lol.

Died because the game slid me down into the flames. 



I like this except for the bugs...

[yamatetsu]

323,400. HATE level 4. And level 5.




415,300.

[yamatetsu]

526,200. Made it through the game, got to the roof of level 2, the game made me use an invisible escalator going up, then, standing on air, I dropped down and died. Huzzah.

[WakiMiko]

lol, never had an invisible escalator going up.

Congrats, Waki. Very impressive.

[ninjabadger81]

Looking forward to the next game.

Hopefully one I'm not rubbish at  :-)

[JDFan]

JDFan, your turn.

Next game Posted --- http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,150706.0.html

[acvieluf]

Congratulations guys!  Hopefully i'll have some free time for this next one.  (NEXT week, i'm hoping) I REALLY look forward to doing these each round, it's been a ton of fun.
