Cheesy Trials

[Ola H]

Had to eat some humble pie - stuck on room 7! But I won't resort to the guides just yet.
My gamepad proved completely worthless for this kind of game, so I went back to keyboard controls in Vice. Wish I could play it with a real digital joystick, I bet the ladders (especially jumps from ladders - and accidental jumps from ladders ) would give me less problems then.

Brilliantly addictive game in any case. Infuriatingly frustrating at times, but thankfully the restart time is non-existent and the levels very short and quick. Imagine this as 3-lives-and-back-to-level-1-game or - even worse - a multi load, level for level

[Ola H]

Room 12 is driving me crazy...
9,10 & 11 were not so bad but room 8 was also very tough.
And there are 24 further levels

[AndyH]

You can blame my son for #12. Very evil. But promise you, every one is doable. We wanted to design the rooms so that there would be some challenging ones mixed in with others to give a breather between them. And that you can jump between the three experiments at any time, if one is proving frustrating there are two other rooms you can tackle.

However, I warn you room #12 on each experiment is a challenge ... to complete the game you've got to work at it

[Ola H]

Oh, I almost forgot that I could try out room 13 and 25. I think I will do that while my subconsciousness deals with your son's evilness and I can go back and fight it with a fresh and pure mind

Here is a re-packaged *.d64 that contains a crunched/exomized version of Cheesy Trials, with Echo added as splash screen that displays while the game is being loaded:

Very nicely done Mike, thank you!

[AndyH]

That's amazing Mike, thanks for putting that together! I'll drop you a question or two on PM if that's ok?

This is arriving at a superb time as the Retro Games Ltd website that host the file appears to have lost the page and the files, so I need to set up an official download on my web site / itch page. I'd been struggling with exomizer - I can either get the game to compress and load on its own, or with a simple loader I could get my loading screen and each of the four blocks without compression, but not both

Hi all

Cheesy Trials + picture in 1 file

Hi all

Cheesy Trials + picture in 1 file

Seriously, what's the point in this?

With your version, people still need to look at a drab "LOADING..." caption while most of the payload arrives. Not everything needs to be one-filed.

Hello

1file version of my fetish.
If I press SHIFT / COMMODORE during load,
the image falls apart.

So I look at a picture for as long as I want.
I can stop the emulator on a picture to look at it.

-I really like the "mouse" picture, congratulations.

[Mike]

Miklós, I am curious about your reaction when someone else takes any of your original work and then deforms it.

Here's Mike's D64, but with all the bytes in reverse order.

Cheesy Trials is now available on my itch.io page. Included is the version Mike kindly put together.
