Just started attempting this game the other day.  Put maybe 3 hours into it so far and managed a score of 12,275.



I was doing really good on that second run (9k points at only 24 eggs) but made a stupid mistake.
This game is seriously difficult.  Harder than Tetris, in my opinion.  But also very addictive: I'll definitely be coming back to this game some day.  I haven't tried it on low speed yet.
I'm not sure what everyone else has been doing, but I've been just agressively going for 7-stack eggs and doing as many as I can handle at once.  After it gets too fast for me to plan out my moves, I try to only do one stack at a time and cancel out the other eggs so they don't build up.  It's amazing how quickly you can lose, haha.  I've found myself pausing just to give my brain a break.

Score updated again. Not good enough to catch Red but it'll have to do!

You didn't miss by much! I'm not as disappointed with my score as I was last time, but I wish I could have done better.

Well, you still have the rest of the day to play and I don't plan on trying to increase my score.

You're safe from me at least. I only get to play after the wife and baby go to bed so I knew last night was my last shot. I'm a little disappointed I couldn't get a win this week but I'm pleased with my score. You did awesome!

Score updated. Couldn't really get into this one, but I had to at least get outta the basement.

I couldn't really get into it either. It seems like most people either really liked it or couldn't stand it. I'm just glad that I did better than last time!
