Game of the day...

General software. From trouble with the Banyan Tree to OCP Art Studio, post any general software chat here. Could include game challenges...

I can manage that now - I thought I was hitting my head on the spikes near the top, but turns out I just wasn't accurate enough jumping over the middle red... thing.

Screen 5 is giving me a headache though - and having watched a walkthrough it seems it's impossible to complete the game, as screen 9 never ends.

Since it was discussed here and is only 5 screens, I had to complete Winer Milly. On completion it suggests to keep an eye out for the next release in the series, and in true Mire Mare fashion, it's a game that never materialised by the looks of it.

Remember it's all in BASIC, and not at all bad for it. Be honest - if you did this BITD you'd have felt like a GOD!

Hehe. If the telephone is the problem, you have to jump from on top of the brick wall. You can't get over it from the same height.

this. i tried, and tried, and tried. that's if i even get there, because jumping onto the central platform is hard too. i realised than my MM skills are doing the bad service for me here, but kept trying to do it "Manic Miner" way…

Wait. Isn't that how people do it in MM already?

i am usually jumping over it from the conveyor belt. i think it's more fun this way. and i used to do it from my first MM playthrough too… ;-)

It is how I do it, but you don't have to do it that way. In MM, you can jump over the honker from the same platform. That isn't possible in Winer Milly (at least I haven't managed it), so it's more true to life in that sense. I would only expect to be able to jump over an giant animated patrolling telephone by doing so from atop a brick wall.

I got to the imaginatively titled second screen, thought "oh god, more of the same?" and turned it off. But at least you don't have to redo the whole thing if you die on your way back from collecting the objects.
