BOING!
·
You cannot be killed if you’re standing on a popped Bubble Eater (i.e.
the glowing spot) and it recovers. It
has to jump off that step and jump back to kill you. {Scott Stilphen}
·
If you jump towards a Bubble Eater a split-second before he’s about to
jump towards you, he’ll jump away from you!
By doing this, you can actually chase him around the board, but be
careful when he’s on the top row because sometimes he will hesitate and simply
stay put, allowing you to jump into him. {Scott Stilphen}
·
By holding down either LEFT+RIGHT
or UP+DOWN
you can move your character off the playing field (see picture)!
The “alignment” between your character and your actual position on
the board will then be off. If you
manage to finish the board, the alignment will be correct on the next one.
Starting a new game or hitting RESET
will also correct it. If the
game ends with this misalignment, it will still be present during the demo mode.
This trick also causes a Bubble Eater’s demise to occasionally take longer.

· The score counter rolls at 100,000; the highest possible score to have (onscreen) is 99,995.
· The level counter rolls back to level 1 after completing level 6.
· BUG: If you are killed while holding the joystick in one direction, your next life (i.e. “Bubble”, if any are left) will automatically take one jump in that direction. {Scott Stilphen}
