Why did they insert a pole there?)

Sound of Pounder in PC Speaker audio mode

New page

[[User:SupFanat|SupFanat]] ([[User talk:SupFanat|talk]]) 20:59, 4 May 2026 (GMT) Sound of Pounder in the audio mode PC Speaker
How come the Pounder sounds like а Slavic word "тыкберри" in Russian/Belarussian languages, "тикберри" in Ukrainian language or "tykberri" in Polish language? Even though the game was delevoped in English which has no letter like "ы" in Russian?
Or perhaps the English pronouncement that was used by developers is unfamiliar to me and it actually does have such a sound and writes it somehow, perhaps just like "y" in Polish?

			== Prevent memory corruption ==

			Keen 1 reserves memory space for up to 80 sprites being spawned. Normally, the game has no protection against memory corruption in the event this is exceeded, which can cause the game to start glitching out in levels that are close to the limit (especially when a lot of shooting enemies are present). This patch adds a safety measure which allows levels nearing this limit to avoid corrupting memory. When there's no free slots in the normal memory space, the first "volatile" sprite (dead enemies and projectiles, typically) will be replaced instead. Failing that, the last sprite in memory gets replaced.

			:This seems less like a bug and more like a design oversight. There shouldn't be any reason why the player would do this, but it is possible. The fact that it softlocks you on easier difficulties makes it even more of an oversight because the developers didn't put any enemies in the bottom section, so I don't think it should go in the bugs page. I'll add it to Bloogville's Wiki page, though. [[User:SodiumtheGlitcher\|SodiumtheGlitcher]] ([[User talk:SodiumtheGlitcher\|talk]]) 15:23, 29 April 2026 (GMT)

Then while the moving platform is located above the top of its path from its original way between lowest part of level and the first two passages upwards, turn it back off. Then the moving platform will move only in the top of its path. Now if you fall down, you are stuck there with only way upwards - die and restart the level - or (if you killed all the mortal enemies and no immortal Gik fell down), you can only use Impossible Bullet to go up again - or if you ran out of ammo too, then it's dead end.
