If you lose your very last life, then yes, you have to start over. I'm at 6.4 with 20+ lives, and I wasted a few, so maybe I'll give you a secret tip. lol...... *goes to mailbox, scribbles note, licks stamp, send*
okay ya'll are scaring me!! I don't want to start over!!Even though right now I don't have too but still!!
Okay I have to start all over...wiped out my score because someone else played my player and did not want to continue game...so it put me back at ZERO!!!!!!!!

whoohooo Gable, that turtle got the best of me and I restarted also . Like you Im finding it easier this time around and its not taking as long for me either .
I think I have found a way to solve my frustrations of losing my lives alot . I have replayed this game so many times now .
What I started to do on this million and one time of restarting is I will play about three levels at a time maybe four depends on how hard it is and then I will save my game and get out and come back in.
At least that saves my lives cause Im on once again 3.2 and have 15 lives so I play two levels save and come back .
All the other times I was just sitting here for hrs and hrs playing without saving .
maybe this will help you all out to. Just something I thought I would share and help my fellow comrades that have started over a million and one times like me lmao.
I couldnt find the secret places in 6.1 either...but I'll get them next time thru. I'm on final level before the final boss. I'll let you know how that goes. Would suck to get to end of game just to die. lol. Wish me luck!
Okay, I just finished the game, but I had to go look up what the heck they meant on the last level....I found a forum that didnt tell you the answer, but left a clue...You have to hit the last boss, Icy, with a boomerang 5 times. There is no boomerang on the screen. WTF?
Apparently, starting on Level 5, if you hit the Control button, a little star boomerang shoots out of Ozzy's hands. I saw that once before but wasn't sure how it happened. So you can use it to kill enemies too, however, its highly inaccurate unless the enemy is rather huge, and Icy is BIG and round and blue and hairy. Although he isn't aggressive, so if you get behind him and just keep hitting him, you'll get him easily...just watch out for those bubbles, every time you get trapped in one, you lose one armor. I lost 1 life total on this level. Mostly while I was figuring out what to do.
Cinaberry, there were other people in the forum saying they only found 1 secret on that level too. So must be a developer error....or else we are all collectively stupid.
Also, I learned to twirl by accident, all I knew was that I was hitting a lot of buttons trying to get out of there. The answer is to hit the right and left buttons quickly back and forth as you jump with the space bar. That's all the answers I found. Sorry there wasn't more.
I found a walkthrough of secret places for Levels 1-4 but I didnt try it as I wanted to see if I could finish it first on my own....but I am definitely going to try to use it and see if it's right. I will post it here if anyone wants it now?
You can only replay a level if it is the last level you plated, correct? When I click on play past level it always takes me directly to the level I just played. For some reason my game tooke me to 6-2 when I opened it even though I never finished 6-1. I want to play 6-1!!!! Is there a way for me to get to it without having to start all over again?

lol dont ask me. I'm not the judge of that. Everyone will easily pass my score now that I finished and can help the rest of you out if you need it. I may replay though to see if I can find those missing secret places. I only finished 9 levels where I found all of the secret places, it tells you your stats at end of game...so I have lots of room for improvement now that I know what I'm doing.
These challenges are killing me!! I am going to have to take a break or something cause if I do not then Ozzy is going to cause me to relapse on my 2 month no-smoking progress LOL

Great score, Cin!! How did you manage to finish with 42 lives left????? That's phenominal, especially for someone not previously familiar with the game. That ROCKS!!!! Did you get all the secrets on 6.1?
