Nice score Popsicle! Boomerangs seem to be the way to go. They give you that swirly weapon just before the circular turtle thing(1st level) which makes you think you need it but I've never been able to kill it with that. This is one of those games where once you die the first time unless you die at a good spot you can be in a position where you just can't get past some enemies.

Yea, that circular weapon is terrible. You can only have two on the screen at once, and they move too slow. It reminds me of the blue water or throwing axe weapon in Ghouls n Ghosts. Useless. On the third board you get homing missiles, which are nice, but that stupid dragon killed me anyway.

The other thing I was thinking is that he jumps/moves like the character from Impossible Mission (from C64 days).

Ha, at least in that game when you died you were treated to a lengthy and blood curdling digitized scream.

Yes. The first hole. Very useful.
Didn't know you could destroy the spikes! Man that would've helped. Ok. I'll have to give it some more tries.

What hole are you guys talking about
