Wow, thank you very much for your great review, I very appreciate that! I was always a huge fan of the C64 Boulder Dash and this is my fist and yet only game I've ever made so far.

Also appreciate your critics and will consider it. It's true, the game is a bit hard, and it would be nice to access some content more easily. But maybe, if the game attracts some bigger community, or I find some time, I will do another sequel of the game.

Enjoy and cheers!

I am drumming up some support for it over on Resetera: https://www.resetera.com/threads/micro-dash-boulder-dash-ultimate-free-gift-copi...
and Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/itchioJusticeBundle/comments/tkvrwe/micro_dash_ukraine_...

Might also make a video for my youtube channel Indietiative, we shall see :)

Also quick note, there is a game breaking crash in the middle of the last level in world 1 (end of the video after entering the green teleporter):

Its apparently reproducible, as I triggered it twice in a row in that stream.

Yeah, even in a different sequence, that particular teleporter is always broken and immediately crashes to desktop.

Thanks, this should be fixed with the newest windows version. If you use mac or linux version, please tell me, will try to fix it as soon as possible.

Toma2 years ago

I am using windows, but it seems to be still the case on the current windows version that I downloaded a few days ago, unless I misunderstood and you haven't updated it yet :)

Yes, sorry for that! Now it should work. Please make sure that you have the newst updarte 1_3_win installed. Maybe you have to reinstall it if the update is not identified by itch.

The new version apparently includes an active cheat code that unlocks every level from the start, haha. It gives me 15000 score and 150 Opals right away :) Apparently it only does so if I use it on my old PC with the old save file? When I test it on a new PC, everything is normal.
Might only be an issue for someone who already has a save file, a bit weird.

Arrg, I forgot to remove the debug-code! So yes, take it as a gift specially for you and your help :) I will cleanup the version now.

It works perfect now :) Thanks again for the quick help! Also I just figured out that I was solving this section completely wrong (Just walk up to it and grab it with space bar) and figured you might enjoy seeing my weird workaround, haha

You are good! Yes the space-grap move makes it more easy in this case and will help a lot also in other cases. But you will need such skills like the above to get far ;)

Wow, I've just seen your amazing effort on resetera. Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I can't register on resetera because my e-mail is not accepted. But if you like, I will create a Dev-Log for this page to share tips, tricks and maps!? I can also help if there are questions on gameplay.

Toma2 years ago

You are welcome, its a fantastic little game. If you have anything that you want to write/share to others reading the thread (it had around 2.200 views so far), let me know and I can put a message from the developer in :)

And a dev log would be neat, I think this type of game massively benefits from seeing others engaging with it, seeing some highscores or even finding a few solutions/tips here or there if people are stuck.
