I think nowadays the major roadblock to getting a high score is the game walling me off with 1's and 2's

Clearly there is a strategy to getting past the big runs of 1's and 2's that I'm not getting.

still don't get this game :/
― hey DARSH (cozen), Friday, 31 December 2010 00:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Fukcing 1s and 2s. So tired of getting a top line of only those so no way to continue playing

ive really starting thinking abt this like uh poker or some probability shit
― johnny crunch, Friday, 31 December 2010 04:02 (thirteen years ago) link
I am terrible at this game (so far...)
― Mordy, Friday, 31 December 2010 04:03 (thirteen years ago) link
jc, you mean setting your board up in a way that will reward fortuitous drops, 'taking risks'
― dayo, Friday, 31 December 2010 04:33 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean more there being a "right" %age play 2 make on every drop
― johnny crunch, Friday, 31 December 2010 05:08 (thirteen years ago) link
but yeah also risk/reward math too

I scored 690,000 earlier in the week. Luck definitely had a hand in it but I was in a serious groove.

698 000 yesterday! And a week ago I finally got a clear the board bonus. And this game is completely ruling my life, like I keep thinking about numbrs lining up and stuff.

Just started playing this.
Went to Thunderbird and noticed my new emails were about to stack to the top, so I immediately grouped by sender and filed.
― pplains, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 18:09 (twelve years ago) link
still play this a few times a day at least, god help me
my avg score is 245,204 & i dont ever duck out on games that go badly
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 18:17 (twelve years ago) link
also there was recently some mag piece where the dude talked abt how addictive this was and from the way he described it, he wasnt even playing on on hardcore
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 18:19 (twelve years ago) link
still one of the best polls on ILX. still don't know why 4 gets such a bad rap tho when 1 is clearly the brutalest
― smash sbros (Will M.), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 18:23 (twelve years ago) link
obv 1's being hatched is nagl anywhere xcept the bottom row or as unboardered entities but having them drop is rarely a problem so..
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 18:27 (twelve years ago) link
i havent played this game in like 6 months but i LOVED re-reading this thread. i think it may contain some of my finest writing, on ilx or professionally.
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 20:38 (twelve years ago) link
it also led me to re-download it. kinda sad it's a ZYNGA game tho now
i never quite understood how to get past the most basic level of play (read: i sucked), which is probably why i never got addicted

this game is probably the only game on my phone that i still play often. it still infuriates me as often as when i started playing. i introduced my cousin to this game and she has become so good at it, her high score is in the 1 million range.
also does drop7 being a zynga game change anything ? i mean, good for the guy for making some money from this terrific game.
― Jibe, Thursday, 12 April 2012 03:06 (twelve years ago) link
it's good for him, but I will never give Zynga a dime.

i just got 877k on this
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 2 March 2013 23:30 (eleven years ago) link
Normal or hardcore?
I'm not sure why normal is supposedly the easiest one. It's more challenging to me because you've got the numbers AND the unknown gray ones to break open.
877 is sick for either. nice job.
― pplains, Saturday, 2 March 2013 23:46 (eleven years ago) link
hardcore
normal just takes too long. i do play it occasionally & strategy is def a bit tweaky and i guess 'harder' but its just not a better game in that mode, i could pen a dissertation on this i think
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 3 March 2013 00:00 (eleven years ago) link
My highest hardcore is 565k. I've got a long ways to go.
― pplains, Sunday, 3 March 2013 00:02 (eleven years ago) link
highest hardcore is 856k. but i told a friend about this game and very quickly she bested me and broke the 1 million mark. tbh i kinda wonder about this game. are the numbers in gray blocks completely random? or is it possible to score insanely hgh on every game you play if you make all the right dcisions?
― Jibe, Sunday, 3 March 2013 07:17 (eleven years ago) link
It's taken me awhile to think of it as a chess game, thinking ahead a few extra moves before making the present one.
Primarily because you don't know what pieces you're going to have in those upcoming moves.
― pplains, Sunday, 3 March 2013 17:54 (eleven years ago) link
i know this game so well. it's like an old, intimate enemy.
― zero dark (s1ocki), Monday, 4 March 2013 22:01 (eleven years ago) link
it's my boyd crowder.
otm about it being an old enemy. i'm kind of saddened by the leaderboards though, where the highest score is in the billion range for hardcore, which def feels like someone cheated.
