    good mashup game, nice work. I like the way the items and baddies fall down

    - bit disappointed that it doesn't log your score when the game's over, had 3 games but no idea how much I scored

    Hi,Yes, I kept it to the Horace tradition. You should see your score in Hi.

    Cheers,

    Went pretty far for a first go, good game to play! In fact, I've never played old Horace games as much as this new ones :) Thanks for for this game!

    Seems to play very nicely..!

    Some of the screens are deceptive - they look extremely easy at first but you need to plan your route around.

    I stick my thumbs up to this game, and don't stick my fingers up at the author. Infact I tip my cap to him, tis' a good game.

    I likes it I does :)

    Pretty addictive game, I like the way you've done it in a 1982 style :)

    I will have to try this one, but looks like you are doing better games than the original Horaces ;)

    Hi all,

    Thanks for all your support with Horace Miner.

    Good that you like it and it makes it all worth while to hear people say they love it so thanks.

    BUG: A "baddie" landed on top of another "baddie" and therefore carried the 2nd one along, I was unable to jump over them!!

    Yes, this is normal practice such as the baddies have got you in a corner. Just like the first Horace games.

    It's the same every time so you must learn to do the level and not get into that situation.

    Cheers.

    Steve.

    Thanks for this. I wrote this on an original 48k box so best stick with that.
