you guys i had this horrible thought
what if the numbers inside the grey discs in drop7 are not predetermined? what if the game decides what they'll be at the moment they explode?
FUCK
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 5 October 2010 11:26 (thirteen years ago) link
This has worried me before. Sometimes when you form a long term plan that may end in disaster if the right numbers don't appear, the game seems to reward your gambit by giving you what you desire. Other times it seems to royally fuck you up with an unbreakable wall of 1s and 2s. Chances are it's just the old 'ipod shuffle isn't really random' phenom, the brain imposing patterns where there are none.

what if they're watching us
― cathy: ACK-er (s1ocki), Tuesday, 5 October 2010 11:46 (thirteen years ago) link
I equal parts love and loathe Drop 7, particularly for all those times when a gray disc needed to be anything but a 5 for ex, only to reveal itself a 5. Also, walls of 1s appearing are always horrible. But it is so addictive, that even though I get mad after having only 1s appear, I can't help but start a new game. Still can't get huge scores, my top one being around 550k.
― Jibe, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 12:58 (thirteen years ago) link
Btw, looking at this thread, the games really recommanded were that, orbital, peggle. have and enjoy them all, but what are some other great games?

Drop7
― cathy: ACK-er (s1ocki), Tuesday, 5 October 2010 14:54 (thirteen years ago) link
IMO the randomness is what makes it addicting. Like a slot machine
― cathy: ACK-er (s1ocki), Tuesday, 5 October 2010 14:55 (thirteen years ago) link
exactly! it's that rush of the fates suddenly smiling on you as you beat back the enemy against all odds.
i have never broken 500k in hardcore, though i have come very close. i agree that in the end, that final bit that will push you over the top all comes down to luck. because i am like a viper with that shit now. there is no error.
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 5 October 2010 14:56 (thirteen years ago) link
I agree its not all luck, else I wouldn't keep getting approx the same score all the time (around 250k). But to get the really big scores, luck does play a part, like by not giving you all ones on the top row.
― Jibe, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 15:07 (thirteen years ago) link
And agree with you tracer that what makes the game so addictive is for those moments when fate smiles on you and every gray disk turns out to be exactly what you need.
― Jibe, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 15:08 (thirteen years ago) link
still only averaging 185k :( what are your secrets?
― Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile (dayo), Tuesday, 5 October 2010 15:19 (thirteen years ago) link
secret 1: quit before game over if you're gonna get less than your current average score
― ledge, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 15:20 (thirteen years ago) link
secret 2: build chains. easiest at the beginning, i try to get a column of 7s on one side, bunch of 6s across the bottom with a gap, then fill in the gap when the first grey disks appear. if you're lucky you can get >20,000 in one go, clear that row of disks, rinse and repeat.
― ledge, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 15:23 (thirteen years ago) link
secret 3: work horizontally. don't carve out canyons.
― ledge, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 15:24 (thirteen years ago) link
ah you're talking about normal mode. i remember those days.
- you can pit 1s and 2s against each other- sometimes you have to gamble- always, always whittle down the high areas
i still can't use 1s properly, i.e. i usually "waste" them when given them to use
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 5 October 2010 15:30 (thirteen years ago) link
while secret 3 is really the way forward to a good score, there is nothing more satisfying than dropping a 7 in a canyon only to see a great chain reaction take place.

still irritated by how many discs i "waste"
i'm sure i'd be better at this if i could visualize more than like one step ahead

btw dudes my d7 high score is 584,215 (avg 199,340)
also totally agree with this: "Sometimes when you form a long term plan that may end in disaster if the right numbers don't appear, the game seems to reward your gambit by giving you what you desire."
- a pair of twos arranged horizontally makes an excellent "blasting cap"- if the game is giving you low-count garbage, remember that 3-1-2 or 2-1-3 is a quick way to get rid of all three in a chain- avoid canyons- never "complete" a sequence (ie - finish a 4stack) unless it will crack/open a grey disc. at least if you can help it.- savvy play with low-counts when the the game stack is really tall is the absolute key to staying alive---know how to get rid of 2s 3s and 4s in chains and w/o the inevitable impenetrable wall of unbreakable 1-1-1 or w/e
