thread of drop 7, also a poll

the satisfaction of dropping a seven down into a little alcove and busting three at once is just too much for my little brain to bear

oh man i always wondered about clearing the board!

I've been trying to use the new row of discs to my advantage but it's hard (i.e. having a bunch of 4's at level 3 during a level-up) because you need to initiate a chain beforehand in order to get maximum points

think I cleared the borad once in my early early days of playing (and may have been on normal, not hardcore)

ya although i find it a more sophisticated pleasure when it's like a 2 or 3 or 4, because they only work in that one specific row, whereas a 7 can deliver that anywhere

lol at that blog using photos of his screen... does he not know he can screencap?

clearing the board can happen easiest imo in the first round. everything has to go right of course. now i never try though, because i like to get everything lined up so that the first bump blows a bunch of discs up

how do u shot screencap

home and sleep

*click*

go home and sleep, dude, you're tired

love it can't get enough

RIP

my strategy of late is to keep the edges of the board as clear as possible so the worst is when 5s and 6s show up there.

fuck all youse guys

Had that board-clear bonus twice. I long for it again. Feel like if I had a super-logic brain I could see a pattern for dropping numbers on a bottom row that would give me maximum chance at it.

I can only wish for that board-clear bonus. Every time I get close to it, with only a few numbers left, they're always gray disks that happened to be high numbers.
Also, I can only dream of this : clear the board, get a 1 afterwards and you're up 140k points! Always a good way to start your game.

yes yes

just pulled off a 12x chain! not sure how I feel about going for combos. even at 12x each disc was only giving me like 2-3000 points. a level up is 17000. feel like if you want a high score in hardcore you just gotta go for pure survival, chains be fucked. can be a good way to start off a game though if you get a right distribution of discs

every point counts

and chains just mean more numbers destroyed, so it's all good

big news

got my first clear the board bonus

then proceeded to have a really terrible game

never gotten a board clear ;_;

ever since I started learning to think & build horizontally I've been big timing my games

raised my average by 5k in just a few days

psyched, considering wiping the board and starting clean just to have a more realistic average score reflected

haha i thought of that too

i feel its disrespectful to your younger self tho

I suck so hard at this game.

wonder what my iphone's drop7scores.xls looks like

so are we gonna start swapping hi scores here?

mines 549041, tho have only broke 500k 3x

565034 and i also only have three in the 500k's

i thought we were voting on which ones to click on !

woah

speaking of whoa

just scored 493

1.29 million what in the fuck

541

this game is driving me insane. like these past few days, every time i go to bed i can't sleep because as soon as i close my eyes, all i can see is a game of drop7 going on. this is the first time in a loooong time that a game has gotten under my skin this much but shit, it really is that good. feel kind of sad as well as relieved that there is no stat about how much time you've spent playing the game, like there is in orbital for eg, because i'd be curious to see how much time i've spent on it.

im starting to resent games that don't keep an average score, it's so much more interesting to me than high score

jibe I have the same problem. except once I see flashes of drop 7 moves I have to debunk them "no that wouldnt happen because if a 4 drops down to the next row and then goes away it would have done that already blah blah crazy bullshit.."

its rough

haha
also, same as you slocki, i really hate those games that drop my average. that may also be a consequence of me having a hard time racking up huge scores (only one in the 500k range, 4 or 5 in the 400k range) yet consistently getting 280-300k scores. so i'm consistently average, never brilliant. that reads like some of my report cards :D
mayor jingleberries, glad to know i'm not the only one!

oh ya my average is not great at all... like 236 or something... growing pains

Ive brought my avg up to 210k but all those games spent screwing around kind of make it hard to move it higher. And also makes me not feel bad about ragequitting games where I got pwned by 1s and 2s at the top.

median score would be a much more useful/informative statistic

why

GOOGLE IT

I feel like the success or dareisay genius of this game is that it resists any? most? like absolute strategies imo

like I guess I have a loose strat of trying to eliminate any 6s asap but there are def exceptions to that so ¯\(°_0)/¯

SO much gambling... "If I get a 2 and bust that one, and it's a 1, then I can move that 4 down..." = basically risking it all on filling an inside straight.

while keeping as many 5s, 6s, and 7s on the board

It ain't a million, but as you can see from my average, I'm very proud of this accomplishment anyway.

Damn you, don't start me playing this again! I'd forgotten about it, re-reading the thread is baffling.

Also, congrats.

Feel like I'm 18 months on, 9 months off with this game.

wtf is blitz mode

did they cancel the word hardcore

I didn't even notice, but yeah they did.

It's Classic, Blitz and Sequence now. I will never understand people who play Sequence.
