Interview[]
Interview with producer Takashi Tokita from "Famitsu January 26, 1996, p. 174".
"Interviewer: We talked to Takashi Tokita, the producer of Dynami Tracer, whose software is about to be broadcasted.
What kind of game is Dynami Tracer?
Tokita: This is a game where you compete for how fast you can collect treasure. If you clear it, the score will be displayed based on the time taken to reach the goal and the value of the collected items. If you write your points on a postcard and send it to St.GIGA, you can see your national ranking.
Interviewer: Was the development difficult?
Tokita: Not at all. We had to work with only 8Mb and a development time of four months. We were fortunate to have such restrictions placed on us, since it made the game very simple to put together.
Interviewer: Finally, do you have a message for the players?
Tokita: The key to winning is getting good items before your rivals in the game. There are also hidden items, so please clear all the planets.[1]
Trivia[]
None of the people in the development team was able to solve the "Square Quiz" in the Monster Stomach level by themselves.
The max points achievable in the game is 9999 points. [2]
