atari2600land has posted an update of his Atari 2600 homebrew game “Jack and the Beanstalk” which is based upon a fairy tale with the same name.

Release notes:

I put in the beginnings of a scoring system with bonus points for completing screens, etc. I can’t figure out how to keep track of highest/lowest screens in levels 2 & 4, and if nobody can help me out, i may scrap the scores altogether. If you’d like to help me out, the variables you can use are listed right after the level_2 thing in the second bank in the .bas file. Also, I don’t know what should happen if you run out of time in the castle (which you have 2 minutes. I’d like to make it longer, but i don’t know how), should you lose a life or have it be game over? right now, if the time runs out in the castle, you just don’t get any bonus points.
