I’m from the future. Got 9 point odd seconds with 79 deaths — played with a gamepad and with some hardwired hours of experience in the freeware gravity game that is “Super Transball 2″ which is vastly superior to anything.

16.15, 205 deaths. No desire to improve. Cute, though.

I knew this would happen someday if we let TMNT fade from our memories. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

Second try: 5.11 and 19 deaths. My e-peenor! It’s glowing, growing and bulging! (sorry)

10.18 with 62 accidents. But then I’m young and spry.

@Gnarl: ROFL, etc

I wish I could permalink to that. I’m pretty sure the pig is female (the voice actor is). Took me a long while, maybe space is a bad key. If it’d been “up” then my dad could’ve played.

86 deaths and 25 minutes, although I did stop for dinner half way through. Didn’t find it too hard, but I didn’t find Mighty Jill Off that hard either. Misspent youth on the SNES I think.

Hmm, yes, 12.18 with 123 deaths. The real problem I found was with that dodgy collision detection, where moving near the spikes might instakill yu one time and then not when you hit your wings against one. Especially annoying when you had to remain level through two sets of spike abovwe and beneath, when I kept dying despite being central.

@Hypocee: Not realistically. If you knock the ceiling, you are fired downward, as if it were constructed out of pinball machine bumpers. And this is ignoring the tendency for later levels to have ceilings made out of incredi-spikes that gore you at the slightest glance.

At least it doesn’t have a finite lives system.

What would make this would be some 2D physics for proper mangled-wing tumbling. Into lava. Mmm, bacon.

Also if a Dual Core machine of the future didn’t have little micro-freezes while trying to run a game technologically from the 16-bit era. Thanks, progress.

Yes, by the point of that bloody Z of spikes, I was ramming the little bugger into them on purpose. Must have lost over a hundred there. Kill.

I would just like to say, this game has given me a fear of stalactites and stalagmites… apparently, if you move even a few feet to the side of them, their inherent magic kills you.

8.43/67

Suprisingly good, I guess.
