This is a fun, action game in Basic.
sorta hard to describe, but its like a cross between a timed asteroids game and racing. you can only use the Up arrow.

Very nice. Looks like a fun minigame.
Its extremely addicting. if anyone manages to score a 32, tell me.
How does the scoring work? Fewer points for each keypress?
Its timed. you only get 160 increments of the screen to finish.
Looks like the helicopter game to me.
Oh ok, Elfprince, now I get it. Quite original.
Its fast. blazingly so on my 84+SE. Kalan says he managed to get a perfect 32 on his 83+SE.
how does teh scoring work?
this looks cool, definatly worth a look

your score is how long it takes you to finish.

so if it hits a '+' it just sits there until you hit up, rather than "dieing"?
no, you die and go back to the start, but your time doesn't reset.
Cool, are you planning on releasing it?

oh, so you get a 32 if you get thruough it without dieing?
I got a 32 on my 84+se but I had to slow it down to level the playing field. Does it still count if I made it so it goes the same speed as the screen shot by adding in an extra for loop?
Edit: nevermind I just got a 32 without the delay loop on my 84+se.

exactly.
@chipmaster: I need to get me some reflexes.
I just played it ten times and got the pattern down.

it might be more intuitive to take the score and subtract it from 132, so that a "perfect" is a 100, and then anything less, such as the 43 in the screenshot, would be 89 - that seems more logical to me.... (or at least make perfect be a 0 rather than a cryptic 32)
