- yep. I finished it. It didn't take me that long, but I can surely say
- that you WILL NEED the extra ships they give you.
- The name of the game is how good is your physics????? Basically, like I said
- in the review post, you will need quite a few aspects of physics in order to
- win the game. Most of them, you need in the dreaded 7th level.

- ------ Spoiler start.
- ok, I'll give you a bit of a hint for it is hard to explain what you do
- exactly to squeeze by those narrow parts. In fact, you can get through even
- if they were even smaller. Watch what happens to the ball as you gain more
- horizontal acceleration. Wow! It seems to fly at a further and further upward
- arc behind you. So as you start to fly above or through a narrow hole. Make
- sure you fly with your plane tilted more to the direction you are headed so
- you start to get some faster velocity either to the right or left of the screen.
- The faster you go, the more the ball will swing upward behind you. The ball will
- not come down until you slow your ship's horizontal acceleration down.
- If you still don't get what I mean, take a practice space(Alot of it), and
- start flying with your ship almost pointing right, stop, then do the same
- thing headed left and keep your eye on the ball to see how it normally
- reacts. It is a pendulum, but a pendulum of motion, not the way the ship
- faces.

- P.S. ---- I'm surprised ANYONE, no matter what system they have, can
- complain about the speed of the game or the scrolling, especially on an
- A4000. I only have an A500 and scrolling and speed are the last two things
- I can complain about in the game. The smooth scrolling on this thing
- almost gets me dizzy at times I used to lose control.
