Good job Thundercat! Woo!! No kidding, a beat on this game is pretty impressive.


This is one I'd like to get the rest of the way through sometime, for sure.



The main tactic I figured out for bosses (but didn't completely successfully execute on Boss 4) was that you can layer a TON of rainbows and drop them all at once for big damage rather than hitting them with individual rainbows directly.

I'm back, sort of. I actually came back in time for the Smash TV contest with a couple days left but I haven't been feeling well since I got back. I've only been on here a couple times, just to answer PM's. I'm glad I put in practice runs last month for this otherwise I don't know where I'd be. I wish I put some more runs together but I just haven't been up to it. It is a very fun game though, and great scores all around this week.

Pretty quirky but neat game. Too bad I was only able to spend about an hour and a half with this last night. I planned on playing for a bit today,but I was doing house work all day and the 49ers are playing right now,so this will be it for me this week. ]]> NintendoAge 2014 Weekly Contest Presents: Rainbow Islands http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=134309 2014-09-14T22:15:47 -05.00 bimmy_lee 57



I feel like he is definitely a boss you have to beat on the first life (or have perma-upgrades).
Probably would have been better off strategically churning through remaining lives in an earlier part of the level.



All-in-all, an interesting game with more depth than I originally guessed.
The first couple times playing it just seemed like an awful game, but once you figure out the item sequencing and placement mechanics it is much less frustrating. ]]>

I had only ever played the PC-Engine version of this game, never the NES.  Pretty fun title, will probably revisit it in the future and try to actually complete it. ]]>
