Summary06041: Down + Firebutton for Time & Bomb PowerUp activation
DescriptionInstead of using the SPACE Key it would be cool if the Time and Bomb Item
could be activated via Down+Fire Button. The Second button Jumps, like usual ;)

Just saying ;)

The feature for the gradient background in Version 1.7 is pretty neat.
(still play without it tho)

Would a more "fine" gradient possible ?

Just asking ;)

Anyway, you are still the best guys !

Much love and respect,
Torti

I played the game for over 30 years without knowing how to use the Items (Time&Bomb)

Yesterday, late at night, i was reading the manual and it states
"Press Space bar" for using Time or Bomb".

BUT it actually doesn´t work .... What the .... ?

So i did a bit more digging and i found this .....
https://www.lemonamiga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7879

But that also doesn´t work. (also tried single button usage)

Nothing !

Now i am totally confused :)

How the heck do they work ?

It´s a mystery to me ;)

PS:Is it possible to make a "finer" gradient ? just curious ;)

Much thanks and respect !!!

So, i finally found out !!
Can you believe this... i played for over 30 years and i just found out how to use those items.

Is actually a quarter Circle.

Keep pressing the fire button and make a quarter circle downwards.
(when giana faces right, starting right to down.
Like a reversed street fighter move Hadouken move)


Ok, so Down+Fire would be still more approachable :)

Still, i feeling kinda dumb for playing for over 30 years and not knwoing that ;)

ok ok ...the fire + down option would not work because.....

If you hold BOTH items ... the timestop & the Bomb

quarter Circle Left activates the Timestop and
quarter Circle Right activees the Bomb.

Sorry ..... well, therew would be still the option for "finer" gradient IF possible.


Sorry, i feel kinda Dumb for making such a mess; please forgive me Psygore.

Your ashamed,
Torti
