Could easily have been a 1:1 arcade conversion. Too bad they didn't do it. The thing that's the worst about this port is the frame rate; it's soooo low. On a standard Amiga 500, it runs at 12.5fps, which is a 4th of the standard 50fps. So, it runs slow and very choppy/jerky. On an Amiga 1200 it runs much faster, too fast; no extra frames added though, just sped up, which makes the choppy/jerky scrolling smoother, but not OK when the game runs too fast. Thanks to the power of WinUAE I made it run somewhere in between. He runs a bit faster than the arcade version, but it's a bit smoother and not as slow as on a A500.
00:46 - Moved the 3rd hydrant and got the blue hat, which makes me immune to the tiny ghosts that drop/falls from the planes.
01:18 - Moved the third cactus and got a pill that makes me invincible for the rest of the level.
02:35 - Moved the second cactus and got an extra life after I captured the thingy.
12:20 - I killed myself on the last level to show what that looks like.
The game has no ending and just restarts from level 1, so I killed myself and added the high-score there instead.

Remember what I did yesterday = nope, remember a 30 year old theme tune from the first 2 notes = easy.

[@megaboygamer]

they should keep working on that cuz if you get back to the house the fairy is still in the hat

[@LeShark75]

Enjoyed this back in the day, but it's not quite the Arcade version. Like you kind of say, it's the frame rate that really kills it

As seen in Smash 4

What on earth did they do with the music? That tune is only supposed to play when you are returning back to your house after getting to the fairy. The main tune is supposed to be far more cheerful.

It's sad whem the C64 version runs far better amd smoother and better animated. Also there isn't meant to be "Break Times" when running back home either. Mr. Micro really screwed up on this one.
