You just keep getting better with each of your releases. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Good game, i would like to play more and see how the story goes. I also added it to my new "Gameplay of New C64 Games from June 2024" video.
Another good job! :) https://c64universe.wordpress.com/2024/06/30/iowa-jack-and-the-crystals-of-chaos...
Cool game. I managed to finish chapter 1 in about 10 minutes. Let's go for chapter 2, now :)
Just finished it. I get some help from the walkthrough. I forgot to get the banana for the monkey.
Chapter 3 maze is the hardest part of the game for me. An hour and half to finish it, it is a good deal!
Thanks Fred for the help - spoilers!
:-D
You're welcome :D
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! It's hard to design a game that's not too easy but not too difficult as well.
I enjoyed it... I do love the intermission part, it makes me laugh.
