I was able to do a lot better (Score update!) without the lag, but I still got stuck on one of those moving block stages.

Yeah, I almost missed my picture because my ceiling fan kept blowing my name tag on the floor. Luckily I got it back up right before the timer ran out.

Last time we played this I got to 8-3 and 1.5M points so I'm shooting to do better than that this week. It's starting to come back to me but I am still quite rusty. However this week is awfully busy for me and I don't think I will have time to get that far. My best friend is getting married this weekend so I have wedding activities as well as a best man speech to finish!

Hehe, thankfully I'm most of the way done with it already and it is going to steal the show at the reception for sure.    He was my best man too and he wrote a heck of a speech so I had to try and top it, haha!  And then more Puzznic!

I guess it's safe to say that I won't be going for back to back wins this week!

The only way I'm winning a puzzle week is if I'm the only participant.....and even then I'm not sure if I could pull off the win.

How many levels are there?

-------------------------
Thanks for writing. I apologize for the delay in responding to your email during this busy time of year.
In regard to your email, it is great to hear that you have found a copy of Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64. Perfect dark was a first person shooter game that was released in May of 2000. I personally enjoyed this game a lot during my mid-teen years since it allows for up to four players to play at one time. All the Perfect Dark cartridges were black.

I hope this information is what you are looking for.

Response I received from Nintendo customer support when I asked if they knew any thing about a black Perfect Dark cart.

Puzznic has 160 levels.

Love this game! One of the unsung classics in my opinion. For those playing it for the first time this week, I hope you enjoy it!

Is that 160 levels of 10 stages or is 16-10 the last stage? I'm not a fan of puzzle games in general, but I've actually been enjoying this one due to it being more "arcade style". I guess that makes sense considering it's a port of an arcade game.

I played it for the first time a couple weeks ago. I am enjoying it! It's an added challenge to do each level as quickly as possible for points.

16-10 is the last stage.

I like the arcade aspect as well. Delicate balance between speed and survival, since later puzzles have higher score multipliers.

I agree.  One of the greatest.    A lot of fun!

Playing it awhile back I think I got somewhere in Level 12 before I moved on to something different, but I very much intend to go back and beat the entire game, as well as Gravnic mode.

I'm sure I'll get my $5 worth out of it before the week is over. Do you get an ending when you finish the last stage? I'd like to take a shot at finishing the game, but I'd say it's highly unlikely that I'll do it by the end of the week. I've already done better than I would have guessed considering how puzzle games normally don't agree with me.

I'm probably going to take the second half off so I may have to give that a try. This is a really fun game.

I am busy!    I stayed up late for a little practice and this run.  I might get another shot at it tonight and that will probably be it for me ... I think I can do a little better.    It really helped to have my notes from the last time we played.
