Very nice.

Question about the power balls, I notice that you can use them, and it almost seems to work something like this...

First use, returns fairly quickly.
Second use, comes back in a time almost twice as long as the first.
Third use, even longer a wait.

Is this the formula uses on the power ball?

Of course I noticed that when you grab the fruit/cake whatever that this seems to not be in effect and the power ball seems to return much quicker.

So what determines how quickly the power ball returns?

[krupkaj]

hmm, my 1st is only 71250

[Fallout_002]

87,100

Mr. Do was a game I never really got into back in the day. Today I find myself really enjoying it for the first time.

Dont know if the return time is double each time but you are correct that each usage increases the return time. Need to use sparingly on later boards - or ensure you only have 1 monster near you or a rock to help take the heat off

Kenfused kicked everyones arse at this in HSC1

It is obvious that you are the expert in this game in a way that probably only years of play could manage. So what have you found works for you in surviving so long?

I'm not sure but I think that I reached 99th level years ago...

My tactics is:

1) to grab as much extra lives as possible in lower levels
2) to release ball as faster as possible, no waiting for better opportunity
3) to block caves with apples, wait for enemies to mutate and then kill 'em all in one cool shot
4) not to fight with enemies in higher levels, much better is to collect all cherries to finish level

Happy gaming!

Here is my score. This is one of my favorite games, but I've never been able to get spectacular scores on it. Whether it be on the arcade I have or on the 8bit version. I've always just been kinda average at it.

112,600

This game is strangely addicting and strangely annoying at the same time.

[Goochman]

What makes this addicting to me is the faithfulness to the arcade - bonus screens and everything look alot more polished than other 8bit arcade ports.
