The difficulty ramps u a little to quickly, and comeon, houses with power transistors? :lol: Anyways they should have the difficulty level increase more smoothly. Pressing fire should always jump, even when your standing still. The guy that chases you around moves to quickly for the levels he is on. Sometimes there is nothing you can do but let him run into you (aka it's impossible to dodge him). Maybe not have the apple hit you when your on the elevator. Just little things that if fine tuned a little would make the game better.

It's all coming back to me :) I remember this game so fondly from back in the day, sitting in my room playing this on my 130XE with The B.O.S.S. (the joystick that is :) ) Good times, good times.

32,533 3 rooms away from painting house 8 for the first time ever :)

Tip: Fall down a lift shaft if you get cornered instead of getting caught by the baddies (Smart Bucket Chucker, Dumb Buckets or the Flying Half Pints what?! Yes I read the instructions on Atarimania) ;)

No HSC posts for two days... we can't have that! I've been playin but still not beaten house 8... losts of cussing... again I'm 3 rooms short of a house :D

p.s. have been rating various games I've played on Atarimania and have managed to get Ixion as the best game of all time by rating it a 9 (as only 3 votes / it now qualifies to be in the top 100 as has 3) It's good but not that good, but am sure it'll get averaged down a bit. There might be a few people who haven't seen this before so thats good. I've suggested this to play here too.

GET PLAYIN! GET POSTIN!

It's amazing what a couple of goes a day on each game can achieve: I beat level 8 for the first time ever :) Skill level 2 (level/house 9) starts with the small house again but with the invisible paint. Contrary to discussion in a previous HSC on Bristles there is a different saying just to keep the interest... which is nice ;)
