I suck at extending time with blue. It never seems to amount to anything.
― Jeff, Friday, 1 March 2013 04:42 (eleven years ago) link
The thing that seems to do nothing for me is the match time extension boost, but iirc it is a key aspect of djp strategy and he has like 1000 billion more points than me so I am obv doing it wrong.

I'm worried I'm burning out on this game, because up until now my scores have been improving as my understanding improves, and that's fun and interesting. But now I feel like my understanding is maxed out and it's just my clumsy fat fucking fingers that are limiting my scoring.

(although I'm still not entirely clear on how I activate a power for megazone, whenever I get in there it seems like everything pauses for a second or two, during which I can't feed anything to anyone, and by the time that's passed the monsters have vanished).
― JimD, Friday, 1 March 2013 12:27 (eleven years ago) link
Right, having the yellow bro out there and the timing of feeding him a condo before mega is tricky.
― Jeff, Friday, 1 March 2013 12:34 (eleven years ago) link
Do other powers work during megazone though, or just yellow? Because I'm SURE I've gone in with green active without it having any effect...
― JimD, Friday, 1 March 2013 12:38 (eleven years ago) link
just yellow AFAICT, although you might be able to have your first match with blue count as well (but it wouldn't matter unless you have clocks/pigs/multipliers in your match)
btw my go-to boosts are peace, slow chain and double pink; I only used match extension early on
the easy grindy way to stockpile money is to just play a bunch of games using peace only

polymer is free right now. i've been meaning to get it. only a few games in its nice feeling how i was totally helpless the first few and am gradually developing the ability to actually plan ahead and execute strategies, etc.

want to stress again how much fun i'm having with sword and poker. It's a match 3 game with a twist: instead of jewels it's cards and you're matching for pairs, three of a kind, flush, straights, full house, etc. add a persistent RPG dungeoncrawl shell with level up weapon, health, shield and magic and this shit is golden. highly recommended; I need to get the sequel.
Also just picked up "heavy mach: defense" which looks interesting

Year walk is frustrating. Memorising sequences and revisiting old areas of the map to see if anything's changed are the dudliest of dud game mechanics.

IB is totally a grind, but it's a fun grind with a good narrative gimmick. IB 2 is even better

IB is so boring and yet I find myself playing it when I have two or three minutes. That's why Polymer is so great, quick load and makes me think of Katamari.

I up to 3.1 b I believe. Feel lke it's just a matter of time before I luck in to a huge score.

11.88bn and yeah, it felt like pure luck really, not even sure how it happened.

^thispen and paper is worth your time until it becomes a horrible grind. you should be able to get at least two or three hours of fun from it. Maybe more. Worth two bucks easy.

It's basically just Bejeweled but I like the mechanics of dealing with pieces that have goo on them or are roped up. I like how the special pieces affect the game board.
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Tuesday, 12 March 2013 18:55 (eleven years ago) link
I dunno 225 tries on level 33 took the wind out of my sails
then my wife beat the level! & the game wanted 99 cents to keep playing! was like, why should I pay you to keep hitting myself over the head?

I beat the first 50 levels and am working on three starring all of them
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Tuesday, 12 March 2013 18:59 (eleven years ago) link
what bullshit about it is that it's basic game mechanics that can only be played proper past a certain point by paying for the answer
― the 'dirty sprite' is implied (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 12 March 2013 19:20 (eleven years ago) link
I don't pay for anything except more levels.
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Tuesday, 12 March 2013 19:28 (eleven years ago) link
The 5 lives per 2h30 has been helpful in curbing obsessive tendencies because extortionate or not, the game owns your soul.
Three starred up to level 80 besides 77 which is really testing my patience. Still not comfortable with the idea of buying consumable extras on such games.
