Flight of Pigarus

Thread here. Current version is 1.11.

Seems this game is intended to be played at 50Hz, not 60.

DETAILS is for what model of console and release of cart/disc, or what emulator and version. I wonder if some particular hardware will bring out some strange bug...

It actually makes no real difference. The game detects the speed of the system it's running on and makes sure it runs always at 50Hz. Naturally, this means that it's just a little bit smoother if the system's speed is 50Hz natively, because on a 60Hz system it stops for one frame every sixth frame which results in a slight stutter. (Hardly noticeable in the heat of battle, though.) Hence the recommendation to run the game at 50Hz if possible. It will work perfectly fine either way, though.

Yeah, I noticed that, so the bit in the readme surprised me, but now it makes more sense. I can count on you to actually account for things like that!

Might as well throw in my own personal bests. Don't include them in the ranking if you feel that I have an unfair advantage.

2 Minutes Game
Herr Schatten - 32,010 - PAL Master System / Everdrive [v1.1]

5 Minutes Game
Herr Schatten - 98,900 - PAL Master System / Everdrive [v1.1]


V1.0 and v1.1 are identical in regards to scoring, so it's not really necessary to state the version. V1.1 just adds a fix to a glitch that appears on systems/emulators with not enough SRAM.

I haven't really played the 5 minutes mode yet, maybe I should try it more seriously.

Current version is now 1.11. Again, this version only fixes a minor cosmetic glitch on the highscore results screen. The game itself remains unchanged.
