Naw, neko's not my real name. My real name is as very much american as I am. x___x It's not all that common, but I like my middle name better because it's Indian. As in from India. Will I tell you what these names are? Nooo! Not where hundreds of thousands of people can see it!

I don't think I can live without my sig now, even considering all the times I've changed and experimented with it. I'm so in the habit, I only leave it off when I have a sudden epiffany or something really exciting happens and I type it all and hit send ASAP. Well...

Neko

Strange for a girl from Kansas to have an Indian name (even middle).

If you want to continue off-topicking, you have my e-mail address. Best not to interfere with the Festian work being done here.

My sig would be now maybe the silver mushroom,
but no.

I should really keep my mouth shut about it. D:

Cakeful

When I see "Neko" (means Cat in Japanese) I always remember my ex girlfriend. I used to call her Koneko-chan (koneko = kitty/kitten, -chan is used for someone close to you).

Neko... being a Taurus I wonder how often do you get angry at stupid deaths and have you ever rage-quited?

I get angry at hammerfest all the time, so much so that my parents wonder why I play it so much since it makes me so miserable.

I rarely rage quit though, I usually stick with it to the end to get as many items as possible even if chances for scoring have been ruined.

Neko

I'm a taurus, and I'm the other part. I had a looong stretch while I was trying to get the PP where I actually had to remove the K key from the keyboard before I started playing in order to keep me from rage-quitting.

... I'm sure most people know this, since I've known it basically forever, but I think I'll post here the rather tiny small discovery that when you have and a teleporter is right up against a wall, sometimes when you run into it you'll hit the wall like the teleporter isn't even there. I have no idea why this happens or how to control it, except launch igor at the teleporter multiple times.

Neko

I have never witnessed that happening, Neko. But I have seen something similar. If you barely tap the left or right key to enter a teleporter, then once you turn around you can keep walking toward the wall without teleporting back (assuming, of course, that the teleporter is against a wall). (This is a good way to use on 6.0.)

While we're on the subject, I know also that if you throw a bomb at the right moment when going through a horizontal teleporter, you can essentially prevent Igor from teleporting (because once he gets through, the upward motion makes him go back through again). (This has cost my brother a life on a few occasions, on levels like 33 and 44.) I am sure most players already know this, but as it isn't written anywhere I thought it was worth a mention.

koneko = kitty/kitten
Koneko...hmmm...
In Spanish,"conejo" means "rabbit".

I've just remembered two useful tricks I can say here.

The first one is if you press space followed immediately by down, you kick the bomb one square higher than you normally would, which can be useful when a platform is just one square too high to kick a bomb up to.

Also, if you kick a bomb up just before it explodes so that it explodes at its highest, you can hit enemies even higher than before. The enemy need to be directly above the bomb, and it needs to be timed well though. For example, on level 52 you can hit a lemon two levels above you with this method. This is also very useful on 54.2. You can make the timing easier by combining this trick with the previous one.
