Oak Island is better than the first Deathflood, but still horrendously frustrating at times heh. There will be a review of it AND Sherwood in the next issue of Zzap!64
Level 13 had me going "huh?!" until I accidentally discovered there's a move you can perform that isn't listed in the manual. It's definitely the hardest of the series so far. But not unbeatable ;)
I wrote the intro so apologies for the mistakes. Given some other games in the last five years or so have taken to giving infinite levels on the easiest setting, and the lives counter wasn’t going down, I assumed the same here for this game. And weirdly I couldn’t trigger the srtifacts on the easiest setting but I did on the middle setting, leading me to believe otherwise. It seemed logically that other games also stop you getting the best ending on the easiest setting.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I got at far as level eight. Yes the waterfall level is quite tricky to figure out heh, but that’s part of the fun!
Having played through a few times for the Zzap!64 review, the bow is definitely the better weapon than the sword. Furthest reached level 15 with the bow and died mostly due to bad spawns.
Rechecked with 1.0.3, still happens, but it's a factor of the fishing screen not the navigation map area. I had 20 bait, fished once and then it says 19 with a space and a blank in the divider. Ditto as soon as I caught over 9 fish.
Intertesting game. We may cover this in the next issue of Zzap!64 magazine. Bug report - if any of your resources or the number of fish caught go into two digits, the border graphic to the right of it vanishes as a space.
It’s not the size of the cart, the U2+ can play both Briley Witch games and they are both over 512k in size. It’s almost certainly going to be the device doesn’t yet support the MD2 bank switching configuration.
It’s not supported on the U2+ currently. We encountered this during the review for the latest issue of Zzap. You will need something such as a Kung Fu Flash currently.
I will agree about the unintended "double jump" "feature". Also ducking unexpectedly off ladders too.
One "bug" I have found is that when you start level 5, go up the ladder, go right, you can then jump off the platform into the middle of the two doors and get stuck. Only way out is to suicide yourself.
It's $4 ffs, you probably spend more on a takeout coffee. Making a demo also takes away time from you know, finishing the game. I could understand if the game cost $20 but not here.
