Its a nice game, where you control a Dino which must defeat the bad enemies in a Tower. You must search in every Stage for a Key, that you can reach the next Stage. After every 8 Stage is a Boss, which you must defeat by throw bones, boomerrangs or use bombs.
Is use only Bones and Boomerrangs, because bombs takes to much time. Only sometimes I use bombs, when this is the best choise I think.
You must walk 32 Stages up and then again down. So after 32 Stages you see an ending, but its not the real ending. You must walk down again all 32 Stages. The easie part is, all Keys are at the same position, so most you must not search long for them. Only when enemies dig them out and hide them somewhere else.
I found out a trick later in the game, which help me to defeat some Bosses in the half of the time. You must just wait 2 Frames every throw with the Boomerrang, then it hits much stronger and the Boss will defeated in the half of the time or faster.
For examples: as I hit the 5. Boss as fast as possible it takes me 30 hits. Now I have done it with only 14 hits, because I wait 2 Frames before I throw the Boomerrang every time.
So its not possible here that I Attack as early as possible, because I lost much time then.
I use too some Tricks or Glitches. Most, that I run into an enemie and get not hit. Or sometimes when the enemie dig a hole I can too touch it without get hit.
I try always more ways to the Keys and try always to find the fastest ways. Sometimes enemies in my way, and digging cost time. So I try to go sometimes a bit longer routes, which save time. Sometimes I must dig holes then this is faster.
Thanks to TheAxeMan, who show me a much faster way to kill the first Boss. But don't think all other Bosses maybe too to slow now. I try my best and defeat near all Bosses as fast as possible.
Only the 2. Boss is maybe to slow, but I have no idea what I can do here.
Truncated: I think this is a bad choice for a game. After two levels i watched it at 300% without missing anything, after a while more on full turbo. The gameplay is extremely bland. Get key, walk to door. And then you have to do all the levels again, only backwards. It makes for a very repetitive and boring movie. Rejecting.

Hmm, despite this being well done, the game may be too obscure to generate any interest. Hopefully more people will see the fun in this unique little game.

seems to be an entertaining lolo-type game (and at least as entertaining to watch as that series). I had never seen the game before yet I was able to follow it and be entertained.
Yes vote
and congratulations on being the first GB TAS that I ever watched.
yes! hell i'm happy just to see that you CAN beat this, i used to go nuts on the last boss. wouldn't ever imagine doing it all in one sitting, much less so fast
Thanks for the votes so far. Looks like, that not much interested on this great game. The reason is maybe, that it is no well known game. :-(

Not much space left to improve... except for luck trying.
There are 2 different ways to manipulate luck in this game which I found out.
1. Enemies which follow you can easy manipulate. Just walk a bit to a different way and they go a wrong way.
2. Is much harder and is not done in this run. Because I think it will not save time or will be to boring. You must wait more Frames before go to the exit. Then the enemies will walk a different way in the next Stage. But this takes long and take not only 1 Frame. Not sure how long it takes at all, but as I test it I wait maybe 50 Frames and nothing changed. So it can be, that you must wait more seconds, still the next room change the enemies walking.

Same as I play it on real GameBoy in the past. Never beat this game. I think its near impossible on real hardware, or only for people who know every item in the last Boss room.
I arrived myself by the last Boss, but he was to fast and to hard for me and I never beat him on real GameBoy.
This was the main reason, why I do a TAS from this game. To see the ending finally after many years, and to see if it is possible to beat this game at all in a TAS.
Still not sure, if it is possible on real hardware. But in TAS for sure now. ;-)

i would fight the last boss for what seemed like ages, i would get the skates and bomb sright away and go around blowing up shit picking up boomerangs, nailing him in the head and you know what? he just never died, i swear i foguht him for 15 minutes straight once, he just wore me down until my fingers got tired and that was it
