I hate and can't play puzzle games but this one takes the cake, it sucks lol.

It's all about the luck of the draw.

Bomb layout and pieces wich is BS because it's all about getting the bonus that's only rewarded if you clear a stage with less moves. What a crock.

At least make the three block clear worth enough to make it possible to milk a few points if you get screwed with a layout.

NOPE got a crappy layout? Don't worry it will only take 10 minutes to clear it and will give you 10 points for your effort! Lol.

Sorry about the rant

Yeah,I really wish it was based on time elapsed. I do like the ability to wiggle one of tiny square pieces (or two) down the narrow passages to the bomb. Makes it feel espionage-like/mission impossible-ish.

It seems like that's the whole point of the game. I found myself just stacking pieces until I get one with a lil break off piece that will get to the bombs.

😕

Well then, that should be a pretty nice pay check!

 



16 of the 17 days are going to be on one check.  All that OT

On a more serious note, I've played EarthBound today for so long, I feel all tense and mentally worn out.
Then you called your mother and felt better?

I've found that while you can get screwed over by the layout in the early levels, it's really more skill based once you get into the 20s. There're only so many ways the bombs can appear. Usually, if you just play it out, you can still manage a decent score. It just depends on how you use the pieces you get. Stacking pieces until you get the multipart pieces would not be a good strategy.

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.

Score updated, small improvement. I keep failing out in the low 30s. It's the same way with me and Dr. Mario in the late teens. I know I can finish the levels fine but not always on the first try.

Sorry 'bout that.  What did I have?

Scores updated!




You had me at 129,100 instead of 119,100. Considering how bad I am at puzzle games I could have used the bonus!





Should I try it one more time?

I don't think I can stand to lol

Not that I'm any good at this game but I made it to 22 lol and got a layout where I had to get rid of some blocks before I could sneak a "one piece" past. I actually liked that layout more. I might even say it was fun.....oh hell no!

I updated my score and I don't know if I can do much better than that. I might give it one more try, but it looks like I'm going to fall short of my first number one finish. I just don't have the patience to point farm in this game.

Yeah, I hear ya there.  Over an hour for one game is too much for me.  I had a great run going.  Had over 250,000 on level 25.  Then I dropped the first piece too high on level 26 and I was done...  I won't have time to play anymore today.  I'm content with a top 5 finish this week...hopefully.

Back to the 3DS!

I'm just taking a participation point again. Most puzzle games and myself mix like oil and water.

Started getting decent at obtaining fast clear bonuses. Fun game, too bad the only other Bombliss game North America got was Tetris Blast on the GB.
