I've been playing this game a bit lately and compared my times with this run. Very good effort indeed. However, just one question to Adelikat (if you're still reading this post). Did you know it's possible to kill the shark (level 24) the first time he surfaces ? I've done that in "real-time", so I figure it shouldn't be too hard in a TAS. The best way is to race straight to the right when the fight begins and then go down and left a bit. If the shark appears in the lower right corner, just hammer away. I've had the timer stop at 1,22 (which means he ran out of energy at around 1,24). That could take it below 17 minutes quite comfortably. Oh, a final word. I've only done this using the spread gun (5th fire upgrade) as I prefer it in real-time gaming. /ktwo

Wow, I did not know the boss could be done in one shot :O If it can only be done with the spread weapon, that complicates things though, since I would need to lose time on previous levels. It would take some planning to figure out if it is faster.
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

In a TAS I don't think it should be a problem with the 6th upgrade. I only play in real-time and then I don't see a need for the 6th upgrade as your fire rate is lower than with the spread. I simply admit I never tried it. In a TAS on the other hand, the fire rate shouldn't be a big problem ? The special thing with the lower right corner (other than it is the 1st place where the shark can surface) is that the shark becomes sort of trapped when he surfaces there. This allows you to stay very close to him without risking to become shark food or getting out of fire range.

I fooled around with an emulator and managed to record a video of Jaws beaten in one go with the strategy mentionned above. I uploaded the video here : http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=U5GGnpe0AZw . Considering how random Jaws can be in real play, this looks pretty neat I think. :-)

Wow I never would have expected a play around of this game. It was actually kind of interesting, especially the boss fights, well done!
