Sounds like you possibly have file corruption, either from the download or the copy process. If you download the full Archive and extract the JFD from it on a PC, you will at least be able to confirm there's no errors.

I thought the same thing so that's what I did and lo and behold if it didn't work. Pretty tough game to get a high score on.

I think I'm encountering a bug in the Packman version of Pipe Mania (from https://www.jaspp.org.uk/packages/relea ... -Mania_0-3) After completing the first level, I always get "game over" even if I get through the required number of pipe segments. When running the JFD image via ADFFS I can get through the first few levels without a problem.

I'm running both versions on Arculator emulating on A3020, with ADFFS Lite 2.84.

Thanks for raising the issue with the packed version, I'll test and report back

EDIT: I've just played to level 3 on a Pi, so the package appears to be okay. The packaged versions are designed for RISC OS 3.5 onward, so I'm not surprised it doesn't work under RISC OS 3.1x.

I do plan to go back and test/fix the packages under RISC OS 3.1 - but that won't be until I've finished coding the GUI for RISC OS 3.1 so you can direct download them.
